Best Slotted Poems


Not Alone
`

Like block shaped wheels our lives stumble at the chapters we write
Corners seem dark and teeming with doubt,
alleyways call in echoes of our name,
as if tempting us to crawl when we cannot walk

“Fear begins the parade at our fragile hearts”

Shades are drawn and slotted with...

I HEARD THE WISE WORDS

The day wise words were spoken
It was over near the beaten path;
Where I first heard them uttered.
“Beware of the fool in his folly
Who may be clever in presenting his story;
Only for the seeking of his own glory;
Leading the blind to purgatory.”
Some...

Arni Kleftiko Stolen Lamb


The Cypriots and Greeks have a few differences,
And can argue a great deal,
But both agree when it comes to ‘Kleftiko”
It has forever been, the most delectable 
Traditional Greek meal,
That ever a bandit could steal!
It is absolutely scrumptious for those	
Who of it have...

Premium Member Pained
My head hurts 
Though everyone's head hurts
It's jack knifed stalks of eyes pain
With oh so careful precision slicing of brow
I am resting I suppose
But so guiltily that my shoulders hunch
A breeze keeps tending to me
Trying to bring me round
It was there as I drove home
Lifting...

Life Is Like a Chess Match
"Life is like a chess match 
To win you must be swift and able to maneuver 
Yes, life and the chess match are very much the same 
Once the king dies, no others continue the game"

The shape of the pawn represents the...

Rutabaga cooks
On range emitting strong scent
After chopped by sharp hachet
Done rutabaga
Served on plate with slotted spoon
They enjoyed _not very much!

Passionate Predators


Restless soccer moms,
whose kittens have all become mature,
got plenty of suburban boredom
Time enough for sure
to get hooked on every advertised lure
As daytime soaps and gossip kitsch
are the mundane, daily double feature
So they buy themselves some 
beautiful, youthful promises,
packaged in a slick cardio video
Victoria got some...

Winter Bubbles
When the temperature drops,
When it gets REALLY REALLY cold,
Being inside all day can be such a bore.
So what about braving the cold!

Bundle up VERY VERRY warm,
And send a lot of bubbles soaring up high.
Pop them or let them fall to the ground.
You'll be amaze at...

Liberian Sky
Harsh is the wind of Sahara,
Serrated by grains of dusty sands,
Stripping flesh from the bones of the dead,
Kalishnikovs gripped in their skeleton hands.
Child-soldiers trained as assassins,
Magazines slotted in like building blocks,
Smooth as silk, this gun never jams,
It musically clicks as the catch unlocks.
Itchy were the...

Premium Member Suggestion Box Sonnet
Ever wonder what happens to suggestions
Dropped in your employers’ slotted box?
They are extracted and read with questions
Seldom answered is somewhat orthodox,
Proposals by the great, “unwashed” masses
Of underlings seeking more remuneration,
Gutsy enough to speak, these lower classes,
Indeed, to want a scheduled, paid vacation!

Imagine a thirty-minute lunch...
