Beneath the words, I hear you say.
Above my skin, the price I pay.
Up into the sky, I looked.
Down my eyes, the life you took.
Within my heart, the ache will stay.
Beyond your touch, I fade away.
Painting Black Tears as Inverted Light
let us paint with radiant black tears the shadow of white light,
the passions of unconscious consciousness that think without feeling anything,
the somber beings radiate their phosphorescent darkness and full void,
the desires of penumbral shadows transparent opaque paint the heavy air.
to women sighs full of void adorn their necks empty of air,
the leaders of the idea without thought build the cathedrals of destroyed mind,
a man slave free chained in his prisoner emancipation eternally,
to the resurrection of yesterday's tomorrow today that was never present dead.
the arbitrary necessary obliges freedom to choose without wanting something,
what should not have to happen happened unhappened,
still talking I stood silent with words that scream in stillness,
I confessed my holy sins to the deep rock that floats.
the only one to whom I give wrong right is the truth of clear lie,
the love from facts without facts that acts only in inaction,
the old youth ages with each day that makes it younger,
the life without my sadness happy drowns me in its bitter joy!
Well here we see that something is hot? About as real as
As the (tailpipe an e v's got?) The subject matter is what
You have got.' Either man or woman? Is what i consider?
And whether what is not.' Is what? And why are some termed non binary? Yet are So
Het up on genders.? All in all its such a mind bender! its
Like they want to drink alchol.' Yet be de-intoxicated as they
Do?
Seem absorbed by genders.? That should not be narrated?
By me or you' or any reality defenders.)
Is there anything above?about them; i have missed ?
Maybe they could have a catheter bladder to head
Orifice inserted; so they could vent better ( when feeling
Really pressed.?)

Impossible isn't it! But it made you peek in!
All that glitters is not gold but gets a glance
For stunning, sparkling shine
First impression is the lasting one!
Contrasting colours, unconventional shades,
Strange pictures, three dimensional covers,
Title that seems improbable,
That ignite curiosity to buy
are some ideas that sell
Carefully crafted catchy words captures attention of readers
Enchanting cover evokes enthusiasm, eagerness and expectations
But make sure contents match up to expectations generated
Content creates character gives name and fame
Bible brought in bulk even by non Christians
Largest selling book in world, because of its contents
Without substance, presentation looses it's value
Book of substance automatically sells,
for its sale presentation holds little value

Contest Name - What's in a title in 14-20 lines
Sponsor : Line Gauthier
Crammed between inverted commas
one puts quotes or direct speech,
could be single, could be double
seems a simple task to teach.
Yet some students often mix them.
It’s a skill beyond their reach!

Six lines of cheerful rhyme
14th April, 2020
inverted tree branch
shaken to the max by wind
swiftly losing leaves
Inverted Or Perverted
What if what cat said was inverted;
Maybe to some people is perverted;
Would scream;
Did seem,
Woem not meow he did and then did.
James Thesarious Hilarious Horn
Retired Veteran and Poet
If movies are reflections of our world,
Then why does violence play a leading role?
Consenting sex, whose scenes are wrapped and furled,
Is cut in line so gore can score its goal.
The act that violence plays in life is minor
Compared to sex and love, who reign supreme,
And by degrees are viewed as widely finer
Than wrath and hate’s unnatural extremes.
But we inherited from Puritans
Our backwards views on sexual liberation.
While gung-ho guns parade like charlatans,
I’ll forwards choose to duel and match my nation.
When sex and love get demonized, assaulted,
Then fear and hate are glorified, exalted.
The trembling thumb of threatening thunder
Strikes silvery shimmering of silken sludge
And adjoins an arch on alter of an afforest.
It inverts insipid immobility of irrationality.
what do i see now,
everyone with the same vow,
everywhere i walk,
tragedy is the only talk,
every heart full of pain,
eyes full of rain,
disgust in the gesture,
cruel dirty brain!
dark lights,
shrinking sun,
worthless fights,
and dissatisfaction!
killers of the thoughts,
readers of the pain,
mad man's philosophy,
play behind the curtain!
haters' love fuss,
players' loss,
inverted world,
inverted universe!!
A tribal instinct stops the nemesis :
Spraying the blood-soaked, small
foot prints on my chest;
unlocking, I accept
myself.
Why contained anger
of awesome ache over the periphery ?
Through the atrophied, black limbs -
an elite infusion of trespassing knowledge ?
The green adolescence was waiting in chains.
The hoarseness as from a cyanosed throat
after the sips of hemlock, the brave ascending
of a gaint stroke on the cheeks of death ;
the dust will sing a farewell
to a river of tears !
End was not me on the chainsaw
a chamomile will wipe the blemishes of the Grail.
SATISH VERMA
Drunken Inverted Triangle
I am a weird shape but, easy to figure out.
I would like to think, that I even standout.
I am an inverted martini glass filled up!
I will not spill because I will stand up.
I am a upside down pyramid too.
I am a inverted nutrition menu.
I’m a yield sign for the corner.
I am a upside down dollar.
Next time, you see me.
Just think, I can't be.
a circle. But, I can
be used in news-
articles. Watch
me be used;
in other
things
too!
