Best Zippered Poems

~It's a Beautiful Day~

Under every star, 
A smile waltz-like no other
Once a simple cherry blossom girl, 
enjoying puppets and lullabies.
Sitting in front of the screen
Anxiously waiting for him to come in
through the front door, whistling a song, 
trading a suit jacket, for a zippered sweater;
made...

It was there, just by chance, we were caught unprepared
Staring, surprised, into eyes of the past
I'd been watching the ducks as they circled the pond
It seems that the hands on a clock sweeping time
had circled around and like the ducks, without end

Today, on this bench,...

Glory to thermodynamics in general...

and generation of heat in particular
cuz yours truly 
spoiled with trappings 
of Western Civilization.

How ideal I imagine 
to dwell in a self sufficient domicile,
where thrum of the central heater...
automatically activated 
upon advent of twilight,
or self adjusted/regulated 
based on outside temperature 
since...

Autumn winds sway the trees,
blowing, swirling dry brown leaves,
coats of dogs and cats get thick,
dusk is grey and comes too quick.

Early morning skies are pale,
fog becomes an earthly veil,
great piles of pumpkins crowd the stores,
Halloween candies by the door.

Iron colored is the sky,
jostling clouds hurtle...

I shut down and die each night.
I do not want to entertain anyone.
I do not want to hear my name.
I do not want to fix supper.

I shut down and die each night.
Spending my evening in my zippered zebra pajamas
And fluffy socks that do not have...

Wearing her zippered jumpsuit of lime
My queen loves to survey the valley's field.
She dreams of finding a perfect place and time 
She can make her dream city something real.

Megiddo was an ancient and famous city
Where starting at Solomon's gate then entering in,
Delight, pleasance and joy...

Spawned from the loins that 
Perpetuated the loyal serfs mongrel
Seed:-
These peoples of a conditioned and
"Resigned-To-it-all" breed.
Born into the enveloping tedium
Of interlocking days...Interwoven
With interlocking days -
Victims of stark circumstance
And vague promises unmade.
Gregariously living out their lives
When warmly embraced by
Every self-serving boast brazenly
Conveyed...
To be exploited, and thus,
Insidiously...

Sleeping in a tent at night
Zippered in cosy and warm
You and me then bugs take flight
In a cloud they swarm

They hover round choose their prey 
Your perfume means they bite me
In my sleeping bag I lay
then off to Dawn (P)

Allan Williams for Bite Me contest...

Blank pages scribed with hate 
Empty voices scream my name
Poison lingers down my throat
It was time to let go
Deep thoughts and shallow waves 
My heart screams of a pallid taste 
Made to be let and then forget 
On my token I would bet
Eyes leak tears...

Congo drums rapidly beat
into the hearts of innocent wombs
a mythical warrior's prized sacrifice
the stolen booty of hell's pirates

parted are the legs of the red sea
soldier upon soldier march through
oblivious to the fear of drowning
from so many tears of mourning

for the spirit has died
flooded by the...

Unknown (22 words)

Hidden in secrecy, Shrouding the truth
Showing little, Unable to sleuth
Reasons unknown, Motives unclear
Open to none, All out of fear.

Back in history, in days of old
Twas then that knights were very bold
And the ladies were covered in gold

It was in that time there lived a bold knight
Who would satisfy the ladies at night
And with gold they would see him right

There was a fair maiden,...

Some smiles appear begrudging,
With the lips a zippered slit,
As if somebody were judging
If they’d part a little bit.

Some smiles seem quite ironic,
Slightly turned up at the ends
And though possibly demonic,
Still, some happiness extends.

Certain smiles are full of mischief
And it’s mirth they do convey,
Like when cookies...

Hiding from the outside world trapped inside a world of misery
Wearing a happy smile on my face
Portraying illusions of laughter for them all to see

Silently trembling inside as tears begin to flow 
Quickly wiping them away
So that nobody will ever know

My heart battles with my...
