Comparably Poems | Examples


My Black Sea

I feel the monster's ravenous intent slide down the lump in my throat,
As my mere existence is waning comparably, I slowly begin to lose hope
What once was a warm and loving embrace from a truth that was solid as gold
Now's only ashes in shackles and freckled with lies that are waiting to be told
The pain of it all sends my consciousness wandering places it's meant not to be
So I sat at the table where the Mad Hatter'd waited and we talked over a cup of fresh tea
When the party was over I tried to recover the loss Hatter'd help me elude
I was soon to discover, though I'd n'er love another, our love was too deep to exhume
Though all efforts failed, I still tried to prevail, for the Moon, she still lives in my eyes
Lighting paths to be seen by the less-than-pristeen, filled with pain that they try to disguise
So send all the Angels and demons alike to all places you think I might be
But catch me you won't-I'll remain here alone in my deep, dark, and empty black sea

Meet the Carbonemys

Carbonemys  (Greek for "coal turtle")
Pronounced: car-BON-eh-miss

I am a Carbonemys, a podocnemidid,
An extinct side-necked turtle.
I lived fifty-eight to
Sixty million years ago
During the middle Paleocene period
In swamps of Northeastern Colombia
On the South American continent.

I grew close to ten feet in length
And weighed one ton.
I had a large sized capacious shell.
With my powerful jaws I ate
Comparably sized mammals and reptiles,
Including crocodylians.

I could not retract my head into my shell
Since my neck was too long.
Instead, I bent my neck to one side
So that it laid against my body
And under the ridge of my carapace.

My greatest fear,
Being eaten by a Titanoboa,
A one-ton prehistoric snake.


Party Way Mush

Sunshine flowers fairies residency established nifty pixies paradoxically complexed; termed nocturnal.
Gnomes way my magic mushroom.
In my magic garden,
You see.
Fairies coloring gnomes playing hide-n-go-seek—Why I wicker baskets lined organic paper sheathe. 
Basking sunshine only stones throw away from mush made verdure.  
Mushrooms of dark purple magic record inches tall/divided merely centimeters width multitude.
Cultivation combined dehydration, supremest eruct seismic expansion.
Enlargement capacity mental trance gigantic, titanic moNSTR0SIty
Comparably selfish in reality are minuscule.
The other hand's on specially unique by human normalcy size.
What we refer common little people
And
Little folk know how to party!
In my mushroom liturgy,
Trouble makes err shine sun upon may magistrate.
Fairies/pixies, even gnomes agree do little periled peeps throw one bright stoned look.
Beg your party mention not did how way cook?

Self Made Strife

Gold,money job,land,home,valuables,security and love
all desired but here none or little or inadequate
mostly inadequate with avarice
and comparably
you work them out
in silence and hoarse shouts
play games and maim people
they try the same on you
in their pursuit
24/7 and 365
sinning and sinning
may be winning and winning
or loosing and loosing
in depression and blue
rat race goes on
without a stop
you call this life
this is self made strife.


Come clear and embrace me!

Those Eyes

The warmth cascading over 
me like a tropical waterfall

Dragging me deeper, and deeper still
til I am oblivious to all

The softness, described as the
of silk or pure down

An equal, having been searched for
could never be found

Whether sunlight or moonlight
breathtaking to behold

One glance from afar, comparably
more precious than gold
