Best Requisitioned Poems


Forfeited Language
I am tied to royalty
the way oceans
are fastened to
 moon fluctuations

the way our skin
absorbs sun's radiation
with mathematical 
efficiency
producing Nubian 
improvisations

from translucent tans
and honey hued browns
to shades of ink 
that rivaled midnight
when we opened our eyes 
the earth contained starlight

 tied to royalty
we made ivory crowns
fashionable
and...

Prayer Solemnizing Vitality
Wise no adulation, dedication and gratification 
   not emphasized the other three hundred and sixty four days a year
question their role as consumed end product of taxidermist, 
   gnome hatter clucks fie against industry where 
when thanksgiving gobbledygook brouhaha

A Former Slender Man Deplores Weight Gain
I loathe shucking clothes,
(no matter eyes severely myopic)
in preparation for here goes
another warm shower quickly
relaxing this senescent
body ready to doze

soon after lathering
this blubbery body
most unwanted fat grows
on me, no matter healthy diet
of worms, or how I stand,
not so easy add a pose

zing losing battle –...

Hurricane Harvey Landfall August 27th 2017
This long time doodling Yankee 
(who calls Southeastern Montgomery, Pennsylvania LV
plus III four seasons visited 
   upon swath of topography to see
and hear flora and fauna over run 
   via industrialization he doth experience pity
sympathy, humanity deafening cacophony undermining

Cold Facts
COLD FACTS

ugly truth…

snow-whites dwarves
worked in a betting
shop and wore
dresses for fun

the ugly sisters
were neither ugly
sisters or even
woman so not
remotely…
interested in
prince charming

bombs are not fitted
with clocks. They explode
spontaneously
like requisitioned cars
that nosedive into
a ravine and blow up

killing the handsome sheriff
and all his sidekick
cowboys that quell his
dreams

Corridors of Power
Shadows in dark corners, silhouetted figures
Floating down corridors of protected power,
Sanctuary for schemers and hungry vultures
Circling impoverished prey for them to devour,

grey suits that compliments their complexion
Their dark thoughts, intentions flow through their head
egoistical aims to promote re-election
to Westminster palace, blue,yellow green or red,

Political Party...

NOUVELLE CUISINE

Nouvelle cuisine the waiter said, as he served the food to me
Where’s the rest I asked him, as I’d earlier skipped my tea
Tiny bits of something on a massive bloody dish
I tried to woo my girlfriend by pretending I was swish

You can pick the...

A Psalm To Solemnize Pure Tin Forefathers Mothers
A psalm to solemnize pure tin forefathers/mothers...

Who didst unknowingly, unquestionably, 
and unwittingly script vitality
and the prologue to Thanksgiving,
(which theme poem initially written)
about three hundred and ninety seven years, 
and nine months after February third 1621,
yet genesis of American November tradition 
pronouncing Meleagris gallopavo domestico

Evolution
My existence only exists
So that I can be requisitioned
From a life without you.
I live with the hope
you’ll still chose me as the years roll by
I die a little each time
you don’t reach out and touch me
kills me softly
Waking up in world forever changed,
I don’t want...

Whit Wet Vetted Splendour
Whit wet Vetted Splendour...

Pervaded mounded jeweled ground
gunmetal sky incessantly
pelted and did pound
asper staccato round

arhythmic, emphatic, melodic sound
to this clown,
who felt housebound
as precipitation reigned down.

steady rain quintessentially
patterned oodles of necklaced
mini mellow marsh lands
wee hour early this morn

after drenching rain abated,
I set foot upon the sponge
bobbing soaked...

A Former Slender Man Lapsed Unitarian Anorexic
A former slender man (lapsed Unitarian anorexic)...
deplores adipose tissue gain

No Holiday music can soothe savage beast
washboard abdomen weight watcher's dream fleeced
skinny bag of lovely bones permanently leased
body snatcher somewhere amidst policed

madding crowd of carolers singing,
where mine sinking spirits ceased
rising today December 18th, 2020

Premium Member The Colonization Of Hawaii
Colonisation Poetry Contest
Kai Michael Neumann


Hawaii, my birthplace, and hometown
Fell victim of being colonized and uprooted
Those dirty rats ceased the cheese
By the 1900's the U.S annexed the territory
In other words, Hawaii was taken by force
And without consent
It's like the dirty rats came in and flexed their...
