Best Rerouted Poems

Sam Ebenezer
a sad ol' geezer
was lamenting his shrinkage of late:
my worthless ding-a-ling
is a bell without ring
my manhood in diminishing state
 
From whence I salute
is thin as a flute
and soft to the touch as cashmere
I search with persistence
it offers resistance
on nature's call to appear
 
On heeding...

It took two days but I drank the oceans dry
Spat out the salt creating deserts beneath a cloudless sky
I ripped a mountain from the earth and deposited it on the moon
Blew down a giant forest with one breath, not a single leaf remained in bloom
Turned...

there are some parts of your personality
you must never look at
or Aristotle's logic will pay you a visit
for a 15th century anatomy lesson
an eye for an eye a throat for a throat
gargoyle armies hovering overhead
tongue for tongue trumpeting victory
the oracle had him tossed out
for vigorously...

Ah yes, they were right all along
I’m speaking of human evolution.
Sorry folks. In the past I was wrong.
Those facts were a convolution.

For saying in the past, 
that evolution could not cross a class,
I certainly apologize.
That was not wise.

This newly found epiphany 
causes my soul to...

A glance from the field displays a line of green,
Waving back and forth, for as far as can be seen,
A chosen path the gentle scrub has allowed through,
Human interaction has created steps too,
In the distance.
Meadow's dancing to the swift gentle breeze,
Flower Buds loving every minute,...

Heavenly Distractions
 
Heavenly distractions Gods divine guidance that will set you in an idle space of quietness
Away from all the noxious noise
Where you are only able to hear his voice commands and promises
Instilling in us that indescribable peaceful poise
 
Heavenly distractions a time when your...

This day as it was, not so many years ago, 
When the heaven was ever in a stressful mode   
Some of heaven's angels rerouted to trek earth to and fro 
In search for the right parents they could ever unfold. 

"Today is so...

My thoughts are dead
Imagination shot
Blackness born within my head
No sense for a plot

Where are the words 
They used to flow
Flutter like birds
Of an ink lathered glow

Sanity stepping so close to the brink
One more inch and tears cascade
My comatose mind cannot think
My pen has decayed

But wait...

Better choose quick
Just might lose if
You don't do it

Awesome or a nuisance
It either was or wasn't in the blueprints
Still a loner, or already shot by Cupid's
Arrow, underneath a sky that is moonlit

They spread lies, but the truth is
Staying sharp or a doofus
Handy or useless
In a...

you may have heard me come in
from a silent place i lend a hand and you come with sunshine
a dream long forgotten brings back memories of solid regret
i then realize that i have been given the rare gift of a second chance
this time i will...

My known, soothing landscapes,
grown from my own hues and shapes,
somehow vanquished their view.
Just one more sore blister of news
to aid my staid mind’s gist of confused.
My angered fist punched tears in their wake
before my shock shakily jot them on a list
of all my fear sought...

Move to the left
Move to the right
Where are you going?
All these signs and directions
Getting turned around
Trying to figure out where im going
Or where im bound 
If I didn't look up
Would I miss my exit(exit)
If I rerouted would  my GPS catch it (catch it)
Or would...

This is sad, it makes me sigh
Why try to lie?
My guy I spy
That there's more to life
Than getting high
Wasting money and time
To change it, effort is what you must apply
Go ahead roll the dye
You might be surprised from what you find
Make the best of it,...
