Best Resettle Poems

In the blink of an eye the earth reversed
the sun rising in the west setting in the east
gravity's pull suddenly lessened it's hold
heavy things grow much lighter and floated

Look up to the sky and see what I mean
houses, cars animals and people flying
water running uphill...

Black squirrels bound skewways
from the house, shadowshifts
falling darkly on 
dusty white autumnal
snow. Paw prints run

makeshift memories soon 
snowed over. Leaping
on tree trunks they wind their
way upward on paths of birch
bark in quick roundhouse runs.

I watch them go from
a seat by the door
and eavesdrop on the
dripping...

A country of dreams has burst its rainbow at all ragged seams

In a state of affairs illusion of fusion and widespread delusion

The constitution hallucinates as night settles scores of deceit

Bereavement takes its toll in anger and violence as writing on

Walls depicts no happy graffiti but...

Time dragged on,
Withered fingers languidly moved in circles
Casting dream fragments back into the air,
Only to resettle in a different pattern
At the edges of his mind.
His thoughts strayed
To souls arrayed in resplendent glory,
Myriad spirits en masse ascent.
He had never liked the work,
The look of fear, 
Or...

it's almost sundown
I checked the clock
It's almost Thanksgiving
Everything's soaked
Rescued carrots from rain thawed dirt
Hot soup eased the chill
cool chablis eased the pain
Cat keeps sliding from blue jeans lap
to resettle higher and slowly reslide
Claws are verboten
She knows
Time for a refill
This poem's done
Cat's at the window
studying darkness...

It was unpardonable to burp after communion, 
Even though I felt so full up that I felt quite sick, 
Because my parents wanted to know in ambition, 
If I placed it above my very own body, my wick. 

I just smiled broadly to the minister...

Love Poem, 2011
V. Ortiz Vazquez


I am no slam poetry poet
No love story reside within my pencil
Strawberries, tossed salad has no residency
Smooth skin, deep breath, loud moans
Non existent
Bleeding pen draws away
The thought, idea of love making through ink
Passion flow with no identifiable destination
Taking not borrowing, lines...

I am Africa, that old but envied Granny
Since Adam and Eve, I lived many moons
Many greed what the Creator gave me
He crafted me with valuable stones and beauty
He made me natural, proud and virgin 
Stamina he gave me to feed my people
Long peace, I dream...

QUOTE BY CHARLES MESSINA 

"Two doves in white flying, feathers glow beneath the morning's rainbow colors" 


Shivering among the forest green
High above the battle scene

The night clouds iridescent glow
Cast shadows grey across the snow

The sign we waited      longed to see
Kept...

terrible vacancies
reside in our body cellulose
millions of foot paces
resettle at the starting post

the soul under cool linens
dissolves in it's own acids
awaken white worlds
from their shadowy coma
the 1939-1945 war never ends
and takes no prisoners...

Spring necked victim 
                  Will be decked again
                  For pure amusement...

A death of shadow courses
curtain mars red

Bedded in Apollo moon rock 
ex stock mission over

In search of life we left behind
when we left this desolate planet
behind for good

To move onto and resettle we
those remaining to fresh earth

For cleaner air and drinking water

A place for future...

Like rowdy teens all running for a bus
The gulls have seen the merest hint
That someone threw a crust
An unwanted  scrap from Pret
The bottom of a wrap or the final soggy 
Mouthful from a keytchup spattered bap
Sending fifty feisty squabbling birds
All rising in a screechy...

The Retreat:  Part 9

Coming Down The Hill

We were warned
That the high upon high
May not hold or be well-received
By the mere mortals below
Yet Cliff's Band of Merrymen
And bonus babes
March forth from Santa's workshops
To conquer, resettle
The islands of misfits
The planets of normies
Like vets returning from battle
The...
