Mudsling Poems | Examples


Casting Stones

The unstoppable force keeps coming through
no matter the time with disregard
for place or weather
A matador of barbs grabs horns of bulls 
even when they mudsling in
herds together
It's coming together slowly piece by piece
as it does take time to
build a puzzle
The horn will keep blowing like trees in storms
even if it moves in silence
like loosened muzzles
The world is troubled because its people are
& everyone is lost within
broken selves
We need more people that are of use to others
instead of those that hate
& project themselves
Leave that part of you at home on empty shelves
as there's no room for it in this
house of glass
You shouldnt throw rocks as you may hit a neighbor
& that reflection of you 
is all you have
Take a look in the mirror before you cock & cast
as you never know what image
you might just shatter
Instead of pointing the finger try giving a hand
to be a solution in 
troublesome matters

Premium MemberVillanelle: Those Whom the Gods Disdain Bloat Tough In Hubris

Villanelle : Those whom the gods disdain bloat tough in hubris

Those whom the gods disdain bloat tough in hubris
Vesuvius sank isle strung duckweed in Mid-Sea
Tectonic plates clash Zeus’ curse sinks Atlantis 

Tough talk across Atlantic makes Olympus hiss
Triumphant magnate tandem with pale Yin on knee
Those whom the gods disdain bloat tough in hubris

No Plato to lament holy Lost Angeles
Split through Grand Canyon guts out at New Jersey
Tectonic plates clash Zeus’ curse sinks Atlantis

Meru’s father stomachs no campaign mudsling blitz :
« Stop the la-di-da now or I’ll make you float free ! »
Those whom the gods disdain bloat tough in hubris

« Let Minerva win or I’ll split Oval Office ! 
I’ll not say it again : You’ll lose Land of Free ! »
Tectonic plates clash Zeus’ curse sinks Atlantis

No curse worse than what shatters Olympus bliss
« Come to your senses now : Trump card will make you flee ! »
Those whom the gods disdain bloat tough in hubris
Tectonic plates clash Zeus’ curse sinks Atlantis
