Best Uncooperative Poems

Turbidity

Turbidity’s
An artifice of
Being Human
One who is
So confused
So disordered
Or even one
With a Turbid
Imagination!

Being Turbid
Allows its Owner
To be or seem to be
In turmoil or
In degrees of
Real or Fake
Confusion
Making situations
Quite interesting!

This attributes
A most likely
Pejorative symbol
When intentionally
Used to obfuscate
Human interactions
Or to be just
Plain difficult or
Uncooperative!

Possessing bouts of
Seeming Turbidity

Dear neighbors,

I realize we have not met,
other than the guy next door
but that doesn't really count
cause that was just to put up a fence between us,
and I have met Marvelously Mad Max,
behind me, on the River,
but primarily because I could not run away fast enough.

Regardless,
I...

I remember my cherished Wolf Cub pack, 
How I loved those Wednesday evenings, 
The games, the pomp and seriousness of the camps, 
The different coloured scarves, sweaters and hair 
During the mass meetings, 
The solemnity of my enrolment, 
Being helped up a tree by an...

Creative inspiration
Mixed with gas price inflation
Voluntary solitude
Welcomed ingratitude
Served the homeless in Manila
Then become a homeless college student
And mother in America
Racial discrimination justified
As manager proclaimed Black Girl
Unqualified
Gave Jesus his eviction note
While her abusive ex she couldn’t
Wait to promote
Self-employment had to end
As her car became uncooperative
Wrote poems...

The Prize 
The bobber floats, but when it dips, my heart skips for hooked lips. The line tightens, the tug is strong, I reel in. The fight is on. It's a tug of war, an uncooperative catch, an unoiled hinge you sometimes won't budge. I...

Long long ago there once lived a King
who wished that a child the stork would bring.
He and his Queen were very sad
at the thought of an heir that they never had.

The Queen walked beside the sea one night 
when a talking fish gave her a...

Once upon a time, a possi or sparkle of beetles lived in an abandoned tract.  The group was cloistered for being so uncooperative with hardworking beetles and for being selfish.  There are adult male and female beetles that mated and lived with their...

Where do bully pulpits go
when the only audience
right or left
is silence?

How would a narcotic Bully speak
after wonder and awed silence
return to anxious quiet
within a healing ecological culture
of intentional BadNews shunning?

How could these heated wounds
of belated excommunication
lead to hibernating repentance?
For win/lose
rightwing autocratic
unhealthy
much too liberally kleptocratic,
competitive anti-social...

Pain litters the once joyful heart
Hurting every day.
Lies pile up constantly.
In the darkness of her bedroom
screams and cries no hears
cause agony and despair.
Her innocence is lost,
Lost like her trust.
Pain captures millions,
to hold on to forever.
His temper 
so uncontrollable like a warm summer storm.
His icy grasp
uncooperative,...

I'm worried
you have over valued
your favorite deceptively entertaining 
disformed
dis-eased commodity,

DisInformation's strategic value
and disvalue
and misvalue

The Pope Came to the Congress
By Franklin Price
9/25/2015

The Pope came to the Congress
Both houses gathered there
His excellence had no defense
For their uncooperative share
In the state and the condition
That this nation now is in
Cannot repeat the words I heard
But paraphrasing I'll begin

This nation is still wonderful
Even...

A delayed train 
     and uncooperative weather 
derailed his plans 
to seek forgiveness 
     for his mistake 

now, nerves frayed 
cold rain 
  hammers down  
     his best suit and shoes...

Thinking back on my all White
but One,
all Right
but One,
classroom learning experience,

I can see why
many of my straight white male classmates,
especially those with early varsity team excellence
and above average grade point systems
tipping toward future capital-valued employment
might feel disappointed,
sometimes angry,
about what feels like insufficient lifetime affirmation,

Hungering for...
