Best Unnerves Poems

Catwalks
Crowd gawks

Wont style
Forced smile

Strike pose
Fake nose

Weird strut
Flat butt

Scant curves
Unnerves

Small-hipped
Lunch skipped

Stick-thin
Chagrin

Faux tan
Pecan

Plucked brow
Used plough?

Long lash
Bleached 'tache

Plump lips
Veiled nips

Waxed mound
Astound

Forebear
Despair

Sweet girls
Morph churls

Sly pout
Grim trout

Taut thighs
All lies

Make hot
Post-shot

Airbrushed
Not hushed

Mere gaud
Defraud

Model?
Twaddle!

For the "Footle Form - Sequenced or Stand-Alone"...

Winds whip and whistle
past bark of branches bare
collar-cringing cold
winter's whipsaw wares

Frozen faces, fingers
tingling, trembling toes
shivers, shakes, sunken eyes
signal endless woes

A-howling and a-knocking
the nasty night unnerves
the gentle dreams of lovers
nestled in their curves...

Who is this person who observes?
Familiar, from old photographs
the similarity unnerves:
I laugh the way he also laughs.
Eyes close, the image disappears,
as does my father, and my fears....

I HATE how it squeezes
It unnerves and freezes
Blood pounds through the arm
Setting off my alarm
Read her face like a book
(The nurse has that look)
"It's high to the max"
"Just try to relax!"
"You're close to a stroke"
(Lord, I need a smoke)...

In Hades, flows the chthonic Styx, a river 
     of woe and pain (a channel thoroughfare;
     where Charon ferries the dead, who despair)  
which unnerves our damned souls till we quiver.
The Styx! It's like cirrhosis which...

Alone with you
the world fades away
as you hold me
so closely
tender lips against my ear
whispering sweet somethings
burn me with their heat
and your voice
deep with desire
ignitites me
dissolves me
and I am gone
lost to everything
but the music we make
and growing need
turning urgent
overtaking me
until I'm pleading for you
to close the...

I regret having been born
to forlorn in this noxious, wicked world.
I distaste that I was born
in a biased, impovershirished, corrupt society.
I was born to careless; unloving parents.
I am living but unknown,
popular but uncounted. 
No birth certificate to certify I am a living human being.
I am...

Innuendo .

 

When you want booze

and dance

you get pinches

and leers

left quizzing why

its never

from the one

you want

as requesting 

that must heard

song.

 

When a simple

drink order

you want 

to place

is interrupted

by slurring

voices saying

" hey gorgeous" 

while swaying 

to and fro 

and nearly smashing

into that

pretty face.

 

Innocent victims

who

should think...

A smile, a wave and goodbyes were exchanged
She said she would try to remember the good times
After the misery they had endured 
He replied he would seek the silence of the night

It had been an amicable parting
They had loved each other deeply
He thought they were...

Enters Shawnteysmo
Searching for the right answers using the wrong clues
Trying to cure cancer when clutching a carpenters tools
Handed death or mental disaster the latter I did choose
Like dog without a master Im breaking all the rules
I speak when I'm not chosen turn football games to...

I would plunge in a raging river
To save a sweet child just like that
Charge a flaming house with no quiver
To rescue some fat scardy-cat

Cause I wouldn't have time to THINK about it
And wind up whining to a SHRINK about it

About how that thing squeezes
How it...

What's time?
It's that ticking second, that greatly unnerves me,
It's that flitting moment, that captures me,
It's that immutable hour, that unsettles me.
What's time?
It's that time I want to be with you.

What's a moment?
It's that stillness in time, that brings you closer to me,
It's that unshimmering second,...

Topsy-turvy seems so
well, it seems so cute
relentlessly cute
saccharin cute.

Until and unless you're in it
and then, well then the 
belly comes to regard
its place in you as
something less than
...certain.

Topsy-turvy, ugh
abounding now
injured this, and angry he
fractured that, and we less she
ugh

pitchforks are being sharpened
and eyes are narrowing
the...

A transgender Barbie! What? The bridge ladies are upset.
Their best friend is not proud Mary, my friend from Winterset.
Her daughter is transgender, and she is tickled as can be.
If you had a transgender in your family, you would feel differently.

The laughter gets so loud, it...

Awash with a bash and stash of slush cash
Ashley lets her mind go blind
This propels rebels in her stables to blush
Ashley gushes and hushes the unkind. 

Ashley lets her mind go blind
In a jolly gesture in future which seeks a cure
As Ashley gushes and hushes...
