Earth Undone
Mountains made of waves tore the flesh from Mother Earth — flayed and flooding. The mud grieves beneath her, clogged with stagnant saline. She used to breathe — rivers ran wild and free, forests stood tall and proud. For she was once lush — verdant skin stretched over a trembling core, veins of sapphire seas pulsing with breath. But we carved into her with teeth...

Ode to the Hmar Hills
"Ode to the Hmar Hills" No crowded streets, no city’s glare, But Hmar Hills' green slopes and mist-kissed air— Where Pherzawl’s rains in whispers fall, And Senvon’s breeze outshines them all. Oh Damdiei’s hills, so cool, so high, Where childhood dreams still paint the sky! No Delhi’s heat, no Mumbai’s...

These Four Walls
These four walls, how they stifle. How they bind and choke. Their cheap white paint Seems to whisper: Let me go! Is this not a home, Soft and safe, Friend of one and all? But a cell, Narrow and close, Bereft of fresh air, Bidding me stay. Tis danger out there. No, the danger is here, Not to my flesh, More, to my soul. The danger is here, Inside these four...

Joshua Moore Colorado
Hail needles the skin. Wind cracks the spine. The mountain holds, breath seizes on the tongue. Snow knives the summits. Cracked hands fumble dry stone, paper-thin air slices, bald eagles tilt in the blast. Alpine skiers parched, no more Earth Day banners. Cherry Creek scrapes its bed. Feces in the bedpan, chapped gloss smeared, cocoa hair salted and smoked. The Zephyr rattles east, carrying the mountains backward— Grand Central dissolves...

Premium Member When the Poem Became Tears
When the poem became tears As the ink drips, I have become an emotional basket case. My keyboard squeals, as the businessman's anxiety climbs At the sound of the opening bells, Tariff wars targeting the poor, Evil Eyes merges with the Texas Tycoons What is the poor trader's offense? Going once, going twice, To be poor is to be...

Pahalgam
The sky. Bows down, The great Himalayan. Making it beautiful For every dawn. Has disturbed The Pahalgam! What's cause? Which made it From resilient one, Into a crying noise! After a long run! The quiet lets Along the vast, Sarcasmed valley Within the peace, And of calmness. Has disturbed The Pahalgam! What's that? Marking great beauty, From the heaven, To a hell! Of the Earth!...

Doom's Date - Mar 5
Doomsday’s dismal dawn, in the deep distance, Is our dusk, the diadem of decadence; Daunting and depthless, a dark and doleful dirge Deems this dungeon of demons due for death...

My Village - Monsoon Flood
The skies now dark with swollen grief, Rain lashes roofs beyond belief. The monsoon comes not soft, but roaring seas, It spares no home and trees, nor man, nor child. Before my eyes - truth too raw to bear, A mother staggered through the despair, Clutching her sack above the flood, Her last few grains, her sweat, her blood. The fields we tilled...

Premium Member Legendary Convict
Walked in through those gates, the legends foretold/ valley of death? Try a circus of old/ The baddest dude charged, Timber! Came the call/ He fell like a Jenga tower, five stories tall/ A gang rolled up, thinking strength in their mix/ Twenty-five sprawled out, my karate did the tricks/ One guy swung a mop, I said, nice try my dude/ Bruce...

Spring has sprung, Fleecies off we have flung, Blue skies, breezes' balm, Blossoms drifting do charm, Sunny days, kind and mild, Springing--we've all smiled!...

Ancient howling came back to Earth And before long more species followed Some contested against this unnatural birth But no one could deny it’s monetary worth Then after a little - our world was swallowed Even though we lacked a time machine We ended back up in...
