Best Stapled Poems


Cold Beers and Voyeuristic Cannibalism
I’d like to pretend that my hands aren’t dirty 

from the soap of mental suppression,

that the callouses are from hard work,

and not from picking my bones back up

off the floor on a daily basis;

ragged, dry, and weary. 

Every fairy tale has a root,

stapled into the...

Premium Member Heaven's Answer
From the error of my ways 
in the blink of one's eyes 
falling backwards I called out 
Oh God please save me
Inside the crunch mercy echoed 
as warm blood soaked the hands 
running through fingers wetly 

I roared in a broken state for help 
a...

A Night Ride
One dark night takes me on a ride to an isolated hill where I inhale unpleasantness ..
Wide gleamy monstrous gate opens as the mighty wind blows,
creepy ferns crawl all over the floor.
Eerie garden awaits the lost lover's presence;
There stands a haunted home with a grubby...

Islam Burning


In deep purple flame
Stapled to the cross
While the peasants yell below
Demon demon demon
Black flags rise
Hearts fail to beat
Humanity has lost this score
The axe swings in the air
Freedom at last
From Islam’s beasts
My head tumbles into the dust
I am now an icon of the history I...

Vapor Barrier Mastic
Oxygen is depleting from what remains within the confines of which, a means to an end, lie guarded. Watch as hope disappears within the aftermath of this wreckage, which was constructed-meticulously seeking absolute perfection…; only to be as free as fatalities-secrets’, which barriers this perimeter—forming...

Palesa
Quickly closed my eyes the minute I saw your greeting hand 
Fully body cured with earthly riches
My mouth stapled
And my body coma straight
As I get a crushing glimpse of your movement towards me
I exhaled out of the air of dreams 
She's not coming to me,...

Premium Member Because I'M Tired of Metaphors, Etc
Summer boulder-boots wear my thoughts
Thoughts warmed by winter coat maligned in poison oak
With an indelicate left-breast
Pocket inscription stating the obvious
 “Boys Don’t Cry” 
(Simply put and rich in depth, obviously) 
All together, together all.  
All together one we go
Neurotically traipsing unreceptive asphalt

Summer boulder-boots wear...

Unquotable quotes: Olympic Antics – XXXIII

Why do Judo-kas bother to wear anything at all since all they do is to try their very best to undress one another before hugging themselves on the mat?
Wrestlers at least take up perverse **** positions right from the start.
Besides,...

Premium Member Step Santa and Petting the Prefix
12/28/18
I just received a gift from my {step}mother, 
Only three days late this year.
It's a Santa Claus soap dispenser... with a twirl and a twist. 
I used to own it well over twenty years since.
It has yellowing soap still clogging the spigot...
*****, you've even treated...

Kissing Suzanne
My first love was called Sue Heather,
I thought I’d love her forever.
We kissed and came to grief:
With braces on her teeth,
She stapled my lips together....

Dregs of Destiny
Their destiny, or whatever was left of it,
Was shown to them in black and white print.
Their property and earnings were neatly split
"You kids can't wait till we are dead, now isn't it?"
The old man's words were laughed off by them, although they were not a...

How Interesting Is a Two Curved Toucan
senators seeing stapled starkers
Loopholes. Lanky long. Llama Klamath llama please do not lean on those bent gables. For gables are gargling and gargling sounds very eerily similar to a gaggle of geese. Mission endeavour is a plane in a prism. A pram. Circling. But not...

Crater, 01
how much can endure
when one is so unsure,
if refrain is coming or going 
if time is right side up 
or forthright down,
unhappiness begets a frown
plays sickly trumpet sounds,
simplicity is a statement  
like bereavement on stale bread,
a stapled diet
wrought fresh of deniability
and tranquility,
act aloof.

OPENED IN ERROR.

A man had bad news about his mother
Had loads to drink one after another
But later on that night
Was seen happy and bright 
Said that letter was meant for my brother.

ANGUS.

An old sailor by the name of Angus
Fell in love and married an octopus...

Dissociation
 I see a better world that I can use
Its far from you And inside me
The reality is too much to handle anymore
It's a place we all can love
A place where all angels dwell
 
Burnt in my mind everything you've done to me
It saves me...
