Channel Surfing Poems | Examples


Premium Member Channel Surfing Hound

A discerningly keen basset hound

                     Watches              TV              when no one’s around
                                        He surfs the remote
                                        without taking a vote

                           until     The Dog Planet   can be found

Premium Member God Bless You, E E Cummings

An off-day for the quill: I’m channel surfing
from a carpeted beach beneath beveled
canopy.  My legs haplessly dangle flung
overboard crossing a comfortable
black leather partition provided by Sears.
On CNN there’s a bow legged French horn
wearing white face apologizing for American
abundance above the ticking measures
of Cold War success.  Spare me, Christiane.
Thirsty, I have the maid fetch me a fresh Coke
and resume my voyeuristic voyage downstream
through high-definition static and spoken
saturation.  Eddie Cummings flips a knowing wink
then sweeps the tulips from a chimney’s dream.

Leaping Softly

I can be 
so pissed off
that I can scream
like a bra
put on backwards.

Evil exists, even
though politically correct
no-minds say otherwise.
I know it exists.
I feel it slithering
around me like
a sea shell broken
into fragments of
something remembered.

We seem to share
a ****ed up world
of underwear wearing
parrots
bleating like retards
at the channel surfing
drones forever
feeding their
fat faces.

I stand at
exactly the same place
where I was previously lost,
and still
am not able to
identify the
heart-burn that
hops like a frog
inside my
concious being.

Days begin.
Days end.

I continue screaming
in the vain hope
that somewhere some ear

As Life Begins To Wane

On countrysides animal scurry along, leaving footprints

In the carbonized material of this planet.

Channel surfing & empty ink pens,

Pepsi & wadded up candy wrappers

All over the house remannts of LIFE

Breathing all over us.

 

LIFE moves over us like a rapist in some dark room 

We somehow forgot about

In the brightest hours;

It leaves footprints

In the carbonized material of this skin.

 

Passing through streets burning with loneliness & boredom;

Sometime I often wonder about the perplexity

All of it stains upon our memory.

 

Midst preposterous pink & turquoise blue color

Our LIFE begins to petal,

slightly bruised.
