Best Yell Poems
what grows from these petri dishes?
when will these hives
with their metal monsters
their deceiving smiles
their artistic like visages
stop breeding,
stop growing,
like a virus?
what of the fertile land they cover,
the resources they consume?
what of their ravenous appetite?
and barely
a forest untouched.

OLD WOMAN
I am the old woman who lives in a shoe
I have so many children telling me what to do
Some are twenty, thirty, forty and fifty too
but to hear them all screaming you'd think they were two
Tattling and fighting, yelling, squawking, all through the night
arguing the same thing over and over until its daylight
Demanding, exclaiming that they are always right
always blaming the other no matter their plight
Spinning in circles no resolution to be found
the chaos unfolding just keeps me homebound
Enlarging their problems keeping others spellbound
They can't seem to focus it goes round and round
Lying and stealing, and cheating, they all accuse
The one whose accusing always has an excuse
Pointing the finger at others a tactic they use
Sick of the tantrums you become a recluse
They can't see the problem its all one big game
to see how much more they can milk from the old dame
They all want control of the shoe it's so lame
Tying the shoelace is driving me insane
Teaching these children each eyelet has a price
You can't skip one over it isn't deemed nice
Each hole you lace through is another bill to be paid
to lace through each one means more money must be made
Thoughts can't be gathered the frenzy causing delays
Old Mother those children are too old to relate
That they are responsible for divining their own fate
Promises are broken they can't really correlate
Old womans not their mother and wants a clean slate
The banshees are furious they don't want to pay
No understanding without old woman paving the way
the shoe will soon crumble and to dust, it will fade
So come on spoiled brats scream your lives away
Yell louder this is a cycle that's hard to escape
The shoe is the prison their own minds did create
Stop blaming and pay the house a fair rate
Listen before the old woman gets up and runs away
Kick rocks she tells them now to pay their own way
They scream louder when she turns the other way
Took her for granted but she was first not second rate
The years fall to the side as she leaves you to your fate
the vision of youth returning will soon resonate
Old Woman kicks her shoes off without delay
Now a young woman she turns her back and walks away

Take Me Away
I can no longer see straight
As it walks towards me,
I can't tell is this death?
Will I die or will I just be passed by
This fear is torture
I must leave this area
I am scared so I want to run
My legs won't move
I am still so I must shout
My voice is gone
I am brave and I want to fight
My arms won't raise
Fear is the worst torture of all
How long will I be scared?
At least the pain comes quick when you fall
The anticipation is worse than any physical harm that is feared

Full face blushing. Moon shadows

If I could just live for one day
No matter what you do
No matter what you say
If I could spend all that time
Just making it count
Just callin it mine
I wouldn't be so obtuse
I would make it ok
I'd untie my noose
If you could simply understand me
Forget how I look
Cut through what you see
This wouldn't be so sad
If you knew what I was
And how it's cost all I've ever had
If you could know how it felt
To lie every day
To feel my skin melt
Maybe you wouldn't be so unfair
When you stare at my nails
When you laugh at my hair
How do you think you would feel
If I told you who you were?
If I told you what was real?
How could you even understand?
What this all means to me
The empty past i see
All I want is to have a place
Where you love me for me
Where you forget about my face
So if you have to criticize
I don't want your hand
I don't want your advice
And if you want a guide
I'll show you my soul
I'll take you inside
And if you really wanna know
What this all means
I'll just take it slow
Cause I want you to know
I want you to know...

I walk, I walk through this path of pain, god I need you, so my love could be regained. The
day’s young, but I’m not seeing any light, I said to myself this can’t be right. No answer from
god, this can’t be, I know god’s not a fraud. Digging down deep into my soul finding myself lost,
finding what I’ve done in the past has a cost. I lay here, I cry, but why. Come god, come to
me, let me see so I can be free. I’m walking through this valley blind, felling like I’m losing my
mind. God I need you by my side, I need your light to guide.
Lord keep me strong, please, I’m tired of doing wrong. I close my eyes tight, wishing away all
my fright. Still I see no sky, not seeing time come untied. This can’t be gods will, it’s not what I
feel. I walk still, with no light of day, this can’t be the way. It’s not supposed to be like this,
feeling unblessed with all the mist. I call for gods love, but I hear nothing up above. Not knowing
my prayers reaching he’s ear, with this I really fear. I must end this day, with my debt, I will
pay. God I yell to you, let this hell not be true! No! I will not lose my faith, because with god I
know I’m safe. And every sorrow, pain, and ache, I know god will not forsake. God with this I
pray to you, because your love for me will be true.

I never yell at my kids. I lean in very close and then whisper.
I've found this method to be more effective and a hell of a lot more scarier.

In the sunken hollow a gray mass
addles
A silhouette of swaying muskets
shadows
Braying horses the silent vigil
rattles
A curdling breeze across feted
expanse prattles
The stilled pageant concludes with
the order, "charge"
From sheltering tree line, a
disheveled mass doth barge
A shrieking, cacophonous chorus
christens the onslaught
Menacing octave wafts;
Union, tidal waves to
distraught

Thankfully wife as helpmate available,
when yours truly feels unswell
her tender loving care can spell
relief afflicted which she can hopefully quell
but spouse of mine, he doth not aim to oversell
nevertheless counterpart valued
as once me Matty Mattel
prized boyhood toy unfailingly and unstintingly
reflected, mirrored and kickstarted mood to kvell
and encapsulate impossible mission,
thus now grown lad with sincerity does impel
to communicate how thoughts gel
regarding how the missus tries to expel
his physical displeasure
while sequestered within B44 prison cell
as dark shadows creep along the edge of night
surreal as ghosts made manifest
courtesy fratricidal brothers Cain and Abel.
The charming primary physician
at Patients Matter Always (Doctor York Yang)
prescribed Amoxicillin 500 MG Capsules
one capsule three times a day.
Two days since visit with
aforementioned medical practitioner I went
and thus far, no reduction
to swallow without great strain,
hence crafting reasonable rhyme I vent,
which lame endeavor
marginally alleviates torment
rendering swallowing painful
despite depending
on above pharmacological medicine
synthesized courtesy countless
top notch star students
upon landing dream job
able, ready and willing to pay rent
at pricey residences
with regal names such as Kent
Village Apartments, Kent Place Residences,
versus drab Highland Manor
which costs me one hundred ninety red cent

yet absent amenities
most every tenant here would assent.

You yell at me,
Blaming me for things i seem to be,
I try to see things through your perspective,
Because your my relative,
I thought I would understand,
I try not to seem offhand,
You yell at me,
For things that you had to see,
Is this your objective?
To make me feel defective?
To see me cry,
Knowing why?
Doesn't it make you wonder?
What is making me blunder?
Or do you know?
What I happen to stow?
All those terrible memories,
That you left for me to bestow
You yell at me,
One of these days,
I will be ready,
My eyes hardening,
As I tell you no,
I am done suffering,
And wondering,
When it will end,
You yell at me,
I yell back,
Finding my voice,
Knowing it isn't the right choice,
I can't stop myself,
It flies out.
I leave the house,
You stand there speechless,
You yell for me,
But I ignore you,
I keep walking,
No where.
You yell at me,
And I am gone.

Face all your setbacks and face them well,
Just mind not what they say let them yell,
Leave them to their shouts,
Leave them with their doubts,
For all you care they can go to hell.
