Foamless Poems | Examples

Undaunted Mission

This is not my place
But anyways.

A strangely unrewarding
Chain on my door.
What is it that I'm guarding,
What's the trouble all for?

Smoke
fills
rooms
Like ivory in tombs
We wouldn't be depressed
If it weren't
For the best.

Foamless steel
Stain-filled bubble bath
Bought for the price of a meal
Sould for a laugh.

And so we travel on
The goodies always gone.

Alas!
I say
My head I'll lay
No dogs do stray
No mines we lay
I'm wishing for a way -

But the wishing well's run dry.
And so you shudder and I cry,
'At least we've been passed by
The fortunes that don't lie.'

And then, you have a vision
Of a man who's screaming
"Intermission!"
And his eyes are beaming
With precision.

And so we laugh and share a cigarette.
This is just as good as it will get
If you go outside you will get wet
Eventually...

Minds gray,
Thoughts sharp
We'll best be on our way
As the angel plays a harp
But hits the wrong notes.

What's it for
What's it about?
In friendship we've no doubt.
So don't go knocking on my door,
As I won't knock in turn.
Since walls cling
But doorbells ring
And fires always burn...
