Hornets Nest Poems | Examples


Perfect Is a Thought

Perfect is a thought 

A thought of life without time
Other than when we wake and when we sleep
A thought thought of so much Love
It can be melted into a ring
But who tailored the promise
A purpose to perfect not challenged by decay
Listen to the words well kept triumphant
Listen to the souls 
The last breathe the last thought did you do as you promised
Dealing with the devil
Just a step from justice and an inch from a hornets nest
Do the dance in a quiet place
The commands of a saint The witches often spell
Keep the ring with the key to your heart
Walking the straight line with widen eyes
Remember to follow the path of the butterflies
None evil fly freely innocent of the beauty they cast
Life is good when the day involves passion
Passion from your heart

Premium Member Hornets Nest





I could write about things meaningless,
Sometimes,I assume that might be the best.

For to challenge the pot, as I so often do,
Gives quick, easy birth, to a hornest’s nest.

They did it they really did it,
Can you believe it, can it be true;
My folks are angry, their passions lit
One voice united, this act the glue.

Little they know the hornets’ nest
They've now unleashed upon themselves,
They may well smirk at their cute start,
But I'm the ogre, they the elves.

To raid my home, a line now crossed
They truly think I'll cower in fear,
My cannons out, all fairness tossed,
I'll strike and torch all they hold dear.

Biden's a joke, a simple stooge,
A patsy by any other name,
This thing they did, I'll make it huge,
The best of gifts to fuel my fame.

A few more years to wait and scheme
To win it all and wipe their smirk,
Then watch the wokes just wail and scream,
As they observe our handy work.

Revenge is great, it drives my life
Cross me and watch for what comes next,
I can be sweet, just ask my wife
As to my foes such pain they won’t expect.

Jl Giant Poet U Hoo

The Giant's

Of the wonder class
With outstretched looking ears
And pierced whistleblowers lips

Never had a mother
To sew their name into
Their favorite clothes
Or a home with a wardrobe to hang them in

They were instead chosen to become
The dead poet's and tortured artist's
We recite today

By speaker's corner

At wakes and funerals
On cold and grey rainy days
Outside derelict building's
Who's roofs were lost to german bombs

We as children dared each other not to go into 

For fear of stirring up a hornets nest

Of represed abandonment feelings

Lest best we be remembered forgotten


Premium Member Fanged

sunrise - sunset
wedged in between
dank city of bright tents
needles and feces
hate blooming openly
is this the model
we're to curtsy and envy


rosaries tossed to the trash 
down is up -up becomes down
goodness is to often bashed-
darkness is stealing the crown

in the foothills of civil war
is where two armies prep
the reds and the blues
primed to play endless taps 

in the hornets nest
on the eve of the battle
god hangs up the harp
satan shaking its rattle

it'll be bloody it'll be violent
babies will be bitten
by the fanged boots
of selfish tyrants

Early Morning Country Walk

An early morning country walk
Provides a quiet time to talk
Of this and that, surrounded by
The trees and houses, clouds and sky.

The leaves drift down and coat the ground,
The barren branches left, one crowned
With such a gorgeous hornets’ nest,
All creatures had to be impressed.

A leaping deer darts ‘cross the road
As cars approach, in panic mode,
Then disappears while by and by
A flock of turkeys catch my eye.

We head on home and as we chat,
Of some of this and some of that,
We’re grateful for the sweet embrace
Of Nature in this peaceful place.

Sonnet 'O Sarcasm, Not

Sonnet ‘O Sarcasm, Not

When too frequently posed the question of “you’re not mad at me are you?”
The quick, smart Aleck, retort of “dogs get mad, people get angry or even”, usually follows depending on what they did do.
The following discourse exacerbates whatever is a ’brew.
I say this sometimes anyway, it has become a habit; some do not have a clue!

Imagine that?  Sarcasm comes off as nasty, who knew?
Many times, it is condescending, like boasting, who the hell are you?
Human beings are social animals alike our hornet friends
Each hornet communicating with his or her own secret language, no sarcasm necessary

When one stirs up a hornets’ nest, literally or metaphorically, neither species tend to break out into song as the ends
Spell it please? I- T. Huh? Will you say that again? That again!Sarcastic tones sound immensely arrogant and demeaning. 
Laughter is absolutely non-essential to sarcasm, like when shortcomings are used to shame.
Do not be discouraged, even Plato has been to blame

Some think sarcasm funny, but it is the lowest form of wit,
And using it to bring others down makes me as mad as a hornet.

Cheryl forgot to close the chest
When she disturbed a hornets’ nest
Remorse there is none
What’s Dunn is now done
Phantoms and ghouls she’ll put to rest.

Dreams For Sale

Selling a 
dream is 
easy,
Like building 
castle in the 
air,
A deal is the 
devil's game,
It never 
change just 
the name.
A film star 
must get 
naked,
Or the world 
will forget you
existed,
Lawyers sell 
metaphorical
misnomers,
To reach 
higher goals 
in life,
Doctors the 
biggest drug 
sellers,
Many have 
fallen into 
their traps.
I'll be hanged 
for exposing 
their
lies ,
The system 
is in fact a
pyramidical 
trap!
The all 
seeing 
eye is a spy,
Into your 
homes,schools 
and work,
Its easy to 
blame it on 
the money,
It can't stand 
up for itself,
And you 
surely can't 
stop using it,
Your dirty 
little secret is 
safe,
Just don't 
stir the 
hornets nest.

Society is wrong
college is too long
a subtle bubble that wraps and cuddles
like snookies thong, its junk
thinkin youre grown up
and matured in 4 years
under pressure of peers
that cant release till 2 beers
Youve smeared your smirk
your boys seared and jerked to be frank ya furt
it stanks that the mirror doesnt flirt
so is that why,
you try treat me second rate
then kaput and dog what i say
cause youre insecure and afraid
and its got to gnaw at the base
im the salt to your taste
I hope all of these words
are a saw to your face


ive stirred the hornets nest
hoppin the fence with each  rhyme
like i was just south of the most southwest lines
its time to diss this order, screw the court of florida
this border torture is a scorcher
but we can afford ta pay for ya house, a spouse, hospital bills,
more of whatever you feel and  all of your mental disorders
its hilarious, my diss burns like asparagus 
when you piss out your arogance in the middle of the toilet
Its so hott I could drop a egg in it and hard boil it
you've baked your plans o imma have to spoil it
you could saran-wrap your grams and still foil it
Just cover your manhood when the recoil hits

Premium Member In the Bed They Make

And when will the tides turn against confident indifference?!

When will humanity cease
To throw cats against curiosity’s silver coated dagger

Another played out song
Another dramatic lyric
Shifting embellished overtones
With deteriorating tact

They spit posthumous awakenings
As divinity laced smiles, wither under a convoluted moon
Shedding retina waterfalls
Misunderstood

Pretentious anger becomes Aphrodite mediocrity
Wisdom, they never “put out”

Crippled tears
Become self-important struts within olive tinted reckonings

Lambasted butterflies
Stirring hornets’ nest
Uninvited

They dream for better days
While double-knotting gang colored bandanas
On eagle’s achromatic foreheads

Another Woody Woodpecker band-aid pulled from condescending hypocrisies

…

And when will the tides turn against pilot light’s mal-intent?

When will the flinty sheep 
Stop wondering how these charring, orange fires began

Forgetting the 115 octane gasoline can
They hold quietly in their hands

Lyrics

The unwritten lyrics swarm in my head like a hornets nest, the studio is silent. The microphone taunts me in it's little square box, but it waits for a time when we can talk in private. 

	I hear the instrumental get louder from the twist of a knob. The song wrote its self as my head starts to bob. I cram into the booth and close the door with confidence. That I will come out feeling new and get praised with compliments. 
	
	I get loud with excitement and shake hands with my buddies. Hope that I can continue this hobby, but we see no money. 

	I made music for years not thinking what my future entailed. All my friends will understand when its time to set sail. 
		
	We have low quality equipment and no food for our stomachs. We grow into men and instead of friends, we are now distant cousins.

Soldiers of the Maze Retitled

There was a calm before the storm
 A dark depth of tranquility
 Feasting on forward contemplation 
Fulfilling roles of an earthly kingdom
 Then the alarm of advancing troops
 With an avowed intent,
 Exterminate. 
  Rise, Rise, on the move
 We are in trouble, Bail out!
 Then a thud, a roar, and a tremor.
 Onwards soldiers, raise your rifles
 On the warpath, get in line
 No time, no time! 
Scurry little soldiers of the maze 
Be angry, get mad 
Swarm, swoop, devour the prey
 And where ever he dies, let him lay.
 Now the scurry,now the rush 
Panic station, teeth gnash
 Pierce the skin, drink the blood
 Look to the heavens,
 look to the gods 
Least we be crushed 
Buried in the sand  
Be it our destiny, made by design 
Or calamitous collusion of an ill fated time
But whatever the story based in a lyrical line.
You have just  stumble on 
An hornets nest.
