Best Retorting Poems


Do I Like You
Do I Like You? 

Do I like the amount you put into my mouth? 
Do I like how you wash me in the shower? 
Do I like how you put my clothes on - strangely? 
Do I like your order for my bracelet, then my watch...

What Could Have Been
met a dame 
On a maine 
Waltz through my lane 
Pretty as fine clay 
Molded for a potter 

To cherish 
So as not to perish 
An honourable damsel 
.....My intuiton 
Precedes me... 

leap of faith 
To sustain fate 
should I hail her 
...Retorting.... 
thinking..... 
Summoned...

The Goddess of the Severn
Pulses drown saturated elvers 
As a crescent delivers it's catch
White bellied roaches slap and disperse
Pierced and broken suckers latch
Flushed forearms lock with a match
Bleached fingers curl fiercely
Cartilage and rods attach
Each standard raised taking a liberty

Vectors detonate a verse
Chassis release their clutch
Barbels gulp at a netted...

Cain & Abel
Adam & Eve had Cain
then they were blessed
with Abel, two sons.
 
Abel was the herdsman
while Cain was a farmer
Cain bringing an offering to the Lord
of the fruits of the ground;
Abel, meanwhile, gave Him
the firstborn of his flocks.
 
The Lord was touched by Abel
his offering acceptable,
while...

In My Dream
I wish to clasp and embrace you very close,
Rip open my throbbing heart,
And share love with you, my Rose
And never breathe moments apart

Often I visualize you all through the day
And feel I can see you very near,
Smiling and retorting to all I say,
But is that...

I am well spotted and nasty and do not mind that description

Will gather my fortune whatever is your inappropriate depiction

Dig my teeth into your body and soul straight down to the bone

Leave my scent on your remains with a well-executed stepping stone


Once we hunted...

Infamy
Rolling in faster than I can respond
Trying to keep up with what’s going on
Feels like it’s swirling out of control
Everyone wanting a piece of my soul

Can’t breathe without someone reporting
Can’t write without someone retorting
Feel the night wind with watching eyes
Accusations, assumptions, blatant lies

Hiding in darkened,...

Itching Legs and Yahweh
itching legs & yahweh

the young boy had told his mother
he thought he was allergic to ivory soap,
in fact, he’d told her the night before---
but come sunday morning
all the care in the world couldn’t keep him
from being dragged to church
where the zombies sing in tones that...

Too long
I have put this off for too long
I have said to myself to say this aloud
yet I contradict myself 
by putting it off to the next day
No more
so please stick with me
and endure my words for I know they get lengthy
I am done
in case...

CONFRONTATION 



My destiny angrily
 I Confronted
Complaining of the many
Obstacles she put 
On my way, 
Of all calamities and pains
She mercilessly upon
Myself inflicted 

She heard my protests   
With distain
Retorting that the blame
Should not be put on her
But rather upon me
For she had ONCE, 
Myself,...

Color Blind
Stepped outside the sunshine hit my face,
Warm radiant rays warms up a thought of your face,
Temptation all around but I somewhat resist,
Holding retorting love that I know exist,
Orange and Red make fire you told me that,
Me and you make a couple, love thick as a...
