Best Underscored Poems

Wild eyed I wade through reflections,  
as I unhook from the moon.  

Branches become nets, become veins,  
that drape from entangling limbs.  
Harmless mistakes, underscored a hundredfold, 
creating cracks in the Earth.  

My feet still find the pond floor. ...

Under a grin, redirected, 
A sniff of grief claws
Through, revealing
A sad blue artery,
A pain 24-7.
Underscored with carefully
Emoted verbs, 
And adjectives imbedded with
Mock sincerity, 
A simple sentence: a right to be honest. 
Beneath the pulse in heartbeats encephalo
A few tearful regrets
Lob empty phrases into
A field with...

WHY DO I NEED YOU LORD

Existence framed, for we do ask.
Why do I need you, Lord?
This catacomb. This human mask.
The emptiness is underscored.

You breathed first breath, into my lungs.
Why do I need you, Lord?
And later sent, dove-flaming tongues,
to breathe on me. My spirit soared!

You watched...

The common vulture shows it's greedy face
and that's what our culture must soon erase.
My countrymen, I spy, with quickened pace,
the eagle gives chase, the eagle gives chase.

I don't agree with the socialist thrust
that the government's a god we should trust.
When one has clout, a master...

"The Lux"

we entered The Club
danced our way along lines
trialled sentences all 

written towards Light
the Dark called us all in 
we thought we were like laureates 

like laureates 
we were all drugged 
one way or another

on Love potions all
like laureates drugged
we scored 

our stories 
washed and...

Grandmother pointed out warning signs on the apples.
Her strong voice resonated as she referenced bruises and marks.
Her wrinkled hands brushed over minute holes and obvious incisions.
She clutched the apples in her weather-worn palms
without uttering a single word.

She carefully lifted each apple to her nostrils
and then...

Angrily, rain enfolds the insular rise of lawn undulating. 
Anglers dream, envious fishermen, inside looking out urging 

apostles, who elope within imaginary onslaughts, hooked unburdening's.
Aloft, thunder encounters lightening's insistent taunt, oracles fearsome uttering's.

And still, each fisherman's innermost summoning orchestrates this untoward
atmospheric downfall, each drop induced,...

Subtitled: A Quiz Sic Hull Emotionally Test Ting Senior Event
 
Valedictorian treads across makeshift platform 
   i.e. most likely auditorium stage
marked by pronounced hushed audience, 
   who exude a collective sigh lent sage

You detached me from your regard.

You devalued me with your unkindness.

Your unapologetic apathy underscored my uselessness.

But, when you told me to get out, you were redundant.

I was already gone....

One day, two days, three days, four.
One month, six months a year or more.
Devastation and destruction the causalities of war.
Not knowing if tomorrow it’s death at your door.
Nobody really knows what each day holds in store.
Sights, sounds and images all burned into my core.
Death doesn’t...

"In Unison between the Point of Singularity"



Rarely 
notes ever compliment
suspended like points in 
singularity
opposites eventually attract
silent string theories
suspended in animation
dancing around each other
flirting with the birth
of the concept 
of another life
existing in 
the mirrored
room of 
parallels 

The Double Point
a code in trust
where unseen the 5th...

37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets...

At the precipice of the universe
Within the hollowed halls of time
I saw before me a quiet, sacred place
Created and ordained, by God Divine.

Hovering over a surreal sanctuary
Witnessed in my dream like state
I watched the slanted, hazy sunlight
Filtering through stain glassed plates.

Before me, a timeless, ancient...
