Best Swamped Poems

Notus comes creeping furtively from the south
hot and bothered from the blazing summer sun.
The wind of change...concealed it launches sudden storms
as clouds pile up across the sky, dark and towering,
lightning flashes, thunder drawls, torrential rain descends;
rivers swell to bursting point; fields are swamped, crops destroyed....

"Fragments and crumbs of life, 
                                  all the little pieces"

The year is 2025
I have come back to my past
To witness the Mayans
Who said Earth would not last

2012
Was the year they declared
That the planet we knew
Could never be spared

An Asteroid shower
We could never comprehend 
Sends this heaven to hell
In catastrophic spend

The first to hit
Was the...

Mirror mirror on the wall 
Please tell me why I always fall
When I try to do something that will build me up 
Then suddenly lose motivation and zeal for it all 

So many pursuits  were met halfway 
I tried to learn skills but procrastination domes my way 
Or suddenly I'm...

Paratroopers stealthily slide unnoticed,
chutes deployed, small blazes of white obscured by
fog that lingers lazily, til their numbers
    cover the meadow…

Faster, faster, not just content to cover,
reinforcements filling in, words unspoken,
synchronized with perfect precision, ever
    picking up tempo…

Occupation utterly overwhelming,
swamped...

Are You Really Dead

Well you once marched into my old life
and started putting my dreams down.
Your love was smiles, kisses and strife
and in black seas my heart nearly drowned.

Well you came naked into my night-bed
and crushed strong vines that were ripe.
Your wicked struck deep inside...

I Swear A Sincere Oath Each Arriving New Morn

Amidst wreckage and sorrows dwelling deep
I fight to beautiful memories keep
To break dark that threatens to engulf me
So oft swamped by storms from crashing seas
I a floating leaf in massive expanse
Lonely and bereft of heart's true romance.

I...

There is a need for footprints on the sea.
The sea, prepared for shalom break, not yet.
Sodden, the boat's high walls extend. The lee,
The Life’s on way, two feet, the time is set.
Jesus, the Creator, did water splash,
as deep, you walked, toward the disciples’ tears?
Pelted by...

Very Rude Haiku

Winter? 3 lines?....Right! ....

5-7-5 cadence, meter 

I don't think so!...Blah!   

               -or-

Table by brook swamped

Consume fish, tail, heads, water

No soup for you!...Tip!...

This old sea-rig is swamped and don't float
I TOLD you we'd need a bigger boat!
Now you are HIS prize
Sure ain't no surprise
That you're fish-food, you hard-headed goat!

A kind of cultural sensitivity,
that strengthens discovery; a space
for identity and history.

  It’s a style of thought,
  chosen to highlight its core;
  A lengthy discourse that
  acts and synthesizes.

Significant efforts that deal 
with elements of change.
It’s a trend to implicitness
that evolves...

Zika Virus End Within Sight

For far too long we have been at the mercy of tiny little creatures from hell..
Specialised  tormentors that seek and suck blood from victims  in order to procreate…
Being mosquitoes, their insidious bites and itches are most irritating to our...

Major misery must have been mounting on Monday.
The traffic jam miraculously DIDN'T end until terrific Tuesday.
The traffic at 4pm was winding way westward which was way 
More than what we wished was wishful thinking.

Well it was a colorful and confusing week.
All the while we were...

With the onset of earth
man became birthed
perplexed, he pondered his purpose
swamped with wildlife
fish and birds rife
am I meant to run a circus?

I'll need entertainers
and animal trainers
a tent constructed of kelp 
moreover, an audience 
to add due ambiance 
where to start?  "Oh, heaven help!!"

"Howdy there
