Best Violent Death Poems
Jallianwala BaghThe occupation of India began, with the East India company
And prospered across large swathes of Indian territory
Then the British Crown took control, bringing military might
And to maintain superiority they were prepared to fight.
The British saw themselves as the ruling class elite
Opposing their occupation always ended...

DaughterDaughter
Your face mirrors mine,
As mine does my mothers.
Your smile is a smirk
That quickly explodes
Into sublime lightness.
Your skin has a blush
As does plums true wine,
When young men turn their heads
And whisper your name to each other.
Your hair casts a curtain
Over your face . It acts...

Halloween Night
Rosabella met her maker on Halloween night
It was an unnatural death . . .
Death met her in the maple forest
On the edge of town
She lay in the brittle leaves
Her eyes starring in horror
It was a violent death . . .
A dark veil of hair...

Canto Xxix Hell TranslationSo many people and the various sores
Intoxicated in such a way my eyes,
That wanted open to crying their doors.
But Virgil told : “What for you look this guise?
Why now your sight is so carefully brought
Down there on those sad broken shadow guys?
You did not act...

A Toast To NationNations and nationalities, you are not chocolate,
you are the sweetest Jam cooked from bitter labour!
You are the original egg, the supreme cause of war and peace!
You are the homeland of the rising sun and moon.
You are the cameras recording
from all angles the smashed egg. You...

What Robert Burns Might Say TodayO my tv's had a gray, gray screen
Since it blew up last June.
The radio plays no melody.
The piano's out of tune.
Alas! My ipod's ceased to work.
My laptop's gone kaput.
My car just died a violent death,
And now I am on foot.
When HBO plays great, my dears,
When...

Light Verse
King of Kings: 1-901 A plume of dirt and grime envelops sky;
The hellish slug of gas does creep along.
It casts an orb three hundred stories high
Over the Sun and ends his morning song.
The birds and trees now stand a silent throng,
Before this rumbling mass with lightning veins,
Announcing from its...

Pandora's BoxPandora's Box
The skies rip apart
Filling with a hot white fire
The winds blow both hot and cold
Burning and freezing
Birds are replaced by black dragons
Smoking cinders fall like rain
Covering the ground below
Burying people as they run
The ancient gods rise up from the ashes
Full of vengeance and hate
Desiring...

A Gladiator's FreedomOn sand soaked with blood,
two young men are breathing hard.
The taller one has armor,
a sword and a net.
His opponent has only
an arm guard and a dagger,
but no encumbrance.
Thus, moving quicker, this man
avoids the constant thrusts of
the taller one’s sword.
Finding his chance, he lunges
and his...

The Shadow of ShadowLike the willow leaves
Merely! runs forward.
Then soothingly or almost
the shadow of shadow
A distance in the dark
towards the road,
went to evanescence
Has been under
The sword's coughed,
Jumpy to:(the sudden violent death)
Right now! Gently of life _ shackled.
In smoothness, blessedness and in
The fragile beauty...

Admiral Cardula ViA legend that has been used and abused so much,
Deals with the undead, blood drinkers as such,
Many stories from all over the globe are told.
I have seen every movie, ever made and sold.
Real Vampires exist of this I am so very sure.
An evil form, well...
