The barriers to my affection
Are iron gates
With spikes that impale anyone
Who dares to perch too long
I
king of the hostile quasar !
stelliferous beast without origin
anechoic void-crown usurper of the throne without end
upon a tundra in the cosmic septentrional :
fantastically obscure to the naked human eye
and shrouded in the asterism of shadows !
gatekeepers of the GN-z11 realm,
amethyst-fanged beasts of the farthest space
pursuing from beyond the ultimate meridian
to battle the flame-born basilisks of Alpha Scorpii
the star-beasts battle in constellatory theatre,
a timeless outing of the yet another
anniversary cosmic implosion
II
hostile whorls in the night-sky
spin into mass hypnotic effect
cruor of celestial bodies splatter
alizarin spasms across the death-black vista
which emanates across the heliosphere
as hallucination becomes reality becomes hallucination
lines between
cosmophobia and cosmonoia
are blurred
mystical systems of glyphic code
etched into bedrocks as star-maps
guide the madman into liminal states
between this and the great obscure other
Harold is the most hostile chimp king we have ever had
I said “he could not be tougher than my angry granddad”
Then I met him, and he was real bad with a skull for a crown.
Surrounded by roses, pheasants and feathers, ram horns made a sound.
He is rather frightening I admitted, for I was afraid of his gold eyes.
I am afraid of him too said Queen Mother, his mom – no big surprise.
Big Lulu came by and kicked Harold off his throne with much glee.
Having no idea that she was his wife, I was astounded by she.

You better go the extra mile
In order to make others smile
Take care how not to be hostile
Help humans to revive
Leave not people to their own fate
With their worst woes, yours you relate
Truly, it’s a wonderful trait
From it, joy you derive
Give confidence to a loser
Transform totally a boozer
Play well the role of a schmoozer
To let mankind survive
Tamper with her phone, primary income
Sugar site no longer accessible
Selfish intentions drove his decision
Turned to last resort substitute, Bumble
Rapid response, invite to restaurant
Simply served as practice and a nice meal
Revelations compiling impressed her
Chivalrous, frequently announced fond feel
Presented online as a mere sales rep
Below standard for her high status aim
Her lease nearly up, he drove move in step
Surreptitious inventor, numbers game
She didn't suspect his sweetness supreme
Relished via Phil's evil intervene

vaccine they do have
others vaccine hesitant
or vaccine hostile
Oh the venom on these lips
cold fury should you
taste it there. Drink
deep my gathering gloom
quench your thirst for
my lies and my truths
and my muted thoughts.
Stand still frozen dead
in pools of wonder and
dread for this poison
that seeps into your
pores will not soon
leave the haunted spaces
your frightened places
there will be myriad traces
where it killed the
wonder it found in your
dull and dreary mind.
Choke on toxic thoughts
vomit my musings and
spit forth guts colored
black with doubt and
fear and torment stain
the ground with your
loosened purpose your
pathetic beliefs that
words are always intentions
of the noble and righteous.
Am I really so flawed?
Am I truly that odd?
Crawling like a snake
Into the canebrake
A whoremongering fraud
No wonder you don't like me.
Even though I am now over 7,000
poems I still am having a problem.
Hostile About My Poetry Style
Other poets seem to have become hostile,
About each way my poems I will compile;
Way I punctuate,
A terrible fate,
And many others complain about my style.
Spring outside and things started greening,
And St. Patrick's day is what I am meaning;
Blood thin,
Did not win;
Over towards lucky Irish like to be leaning.
Jim Horn
Have Become Hostile
These days politicians are all hostile,
While going through period of denial;
Can never trust;
Live life of lust;
Do nothing and everything away will file.
Jim Horn
Hostile Became
Hostile became when humiliated
And not only that was agitated
Said bad behavior did display
So I had done it anyway
Also lying and prevaricated.
Jim Horn
Remind you of anyone?
Trump Became Hostile
Trump after a while became hostile
For no one would he go an extra mile
He likes women who are very radiant
Could care less if he has their consent
Yes he surely is both vane and vile.

Here we go again
Smiles exchanged in vain
See that silly grin
To lose is to win
Round and round trade blows
Settling scores that show
Each smile a prompt stab
To puncture odd flab
Crafty with shrewd stance
Burst of deadly dance
If only you knew
How sad matters brew
Two rivals at war
Sharp talons can claw
Deadly serpents slide
Sharp betrayal glides
Yes spy versus spy
Fatal moments ply

Hostile Takeover
Written by: D. Collins 10/3/14
Way, back when, nobody saw the big plan.
Redistribute the vote all across the land.
Putting judges in place to enforce their will.
Carrying guns in case they have to kill.
Its been a hostile takeover of basic rights.
And, abortion decisions are taken overnight.
They chose this route because they cannot win.
No clue of the devil buried deep within.
NSA spying came from Bush’s regime.
Once it was exposed, it became Obama’s thing.
Obama got caught holding the bag.
America lost friends it once had.
A hostile takeover is what we’re currently in.
From the right to vote to the prison system.
A coup d'état is right before our eyes.
An ideology affecting so many lives.
Digital Connectivity is a strange phrase to see,
It's all modern technology, a mystery to me.
Just a normal guy, not a technophobe,
But I thought this phrase was worth a probe.
Mobile phones, cameras and camcorders,
Laptops, notebooks, pc's, kindles and i-pods.
They all are under the same umbrella as far as I can see,
Folk use them all the time, wherever they may be.
The off switch they have seems pointless to keep,
They are on 24/7, even when your asleep.
Folk use them whilst driving, laws they do flout,
They text anytime they are waiting about.
Social gatherings are not to be left out,
before the phone has bleeped twice it is out.
Conversation interrupted, now that is not right.
Folk don't say excuse me, they are so impolite.
They sit on the table, like a napkin ring,
Couples don't talk, they wait for the ring.
How sad is it that life is abused,
All because a mobiles misused.
