Best Swollen Poems
Skeptical Swollen Solesskeptical swollen soles
tracing dark toes
on vying veins
of tactic trains:
lofty lousy limbs
etched in ink
drastic dances dripping
on seeps scrunching
in jumpy jolly
mystic melody birthed
embroidered with will
virtuoso concerto crunching
sumptuous soles stretching
la-de-da limbs lurching.

Swollen EyesShe looked at the mirror
She took in her swollen eyes
Puffy from last night's tears
Swollen eyes
Reflecting her swollen heart
Swollen from too much scar tissue
Swollen from the surge of emotions
That had expanded its walls to near breaking
She listlessly dabbed at her eyes with some water
Eyes that had...

Typically Luke Poem 17 - Swollen LipsLuke’s lips are swollen
He doesn’t look that great
It must be an allergic reaction
To something that he ate
Luke’s lips are swollen
It’s pretty hard to ignore
It can’t be the nuts he scoffed down
As he has had loads of them before

Swollen HeartA heart swells,
oozing with love,
having fulfilled, re-fulfilled
and over-fulfilled obligation.
But the mind now weakens
from the weight of this swollen heart
and the pressure must be released
before it explodes.
As they engage in battle;
mind versus heart,
one resists the power of love,
the other embraces balance
and they become...

A Flood of Swollen WordsI've seen a picture of a book
caught in a flood from the past
and marveled at what the view
revealed to me, the reader
The book, arced and curved to
its center, like a ship's bow
darkened with abandonment, and
white crystals grown from pages' edge
Words crystalized from every
line written,...

Swollen EyelidThe sting of a wasp
Smacked me hard on the eyelid
Can't get rid of itch
Swollen, scrape is so awful
Wasp drove me nuts; I can't blink

Swollen Pride
My big mouth
earned me a black eye
When I got into a foolish fight,
in the school cafeteria,
over a disputed last piece of pie
Came home and tried to hide
behind dark sunglasses
To my parents, I uncharacteristically lied
Such is the fate I suffer now,
puffed up with swollen pride...

Spear Well Used and SwollenSpear Well Used and Swollen
So green the grass on hidden hill
open vista views another thrill
Naked the splendor shone then rose
swift the shock when love chose
Romance set the fair morning scene
she a tramp yet once was a queen
Her knight in love with a...

Ouch That HurtTime, night, and sleep, I could not tell,
For down on the bathroom tiles, I fell
I hit my head but not so bad,
My hand, my muse screeched “are you mad,
What have you done”, confused, in pain
I looked, down at our hand, a monster
Glared at...
