Best The Riot Act Poems

If these four walls could talk they would say..
I'm so sorry that I'm driving you crazy today
there's so much on my chest, I've much to convey

Leaving is futile, I've locked the door
Stop screaming and...

Waking she goes downstairs with great hope.

And she is not disappointed as the tree is sparkling.

Presents also wake with hope that is great as well.

That house was lovely and with remembrance .

I Slept with a Female Mosquito – part IV 

I have gone gnats!
My residual blood is boiling and bubbling
Whole frame sweltering and shuddering
Discolored rage – lend me some wrath

now present to worship 
a secular ghost

stopped dead in their tracks
those ridiculous battalions
games of war and monopoly 

the bored oligarchies, 
their silent sirens
their ignorant factions

their...

The Disastrous Traffic Stop

By Elton Camp

To pull over quickly Robert didn’t fail 
Just as soon as he saw a cop on his tail

That is the reason I pulled you over here.”

Robert gave the office a sheepish grin
“My radar...
