Mutiny Poems

Premium MemberMutiny by Food In Me

Woke up from deep peaceful sleep
Acid reflux turquoise troubling me
With regret I rethink what'd I eat
Cheesy potato skins culprit me thinks

The food is rebelling behind my breast
Like blue boat sailing in my chest
Gas and vomit won’t let me rest
I must eat better I cranberry confess

Soft, like solitude, silent and still
Soothing away the sorrows,
Grumbling, rumbling, suggestions
Muffled by mystery, our history –
Trembling beneath the shadows,
Quivering in life’s strange insurgences

Mutiny Immunity In Trump Community

More Horn Haiku

for mutiny immunity
in Trump community

they were caught cheating
more trouble may be meeting
should be unseating

Trump others shorted
many lies he had imported
out was escorted

God great and glorious Thou art

Scrutiny Following Muting

The whole thing had seemed some mutiny 
While hundred eyes stuck to scrutiny!
A young Eve with an old company 
She’d met at a roadside company,
Freshly by his side in bikini
And freshly quaffing iced martini…

Next, some careless bites of zucchini
She’d picked from a Free Sabatini, 
Litters from The Free Thing all over, 
Even as she held

Destiny and the Muting of Scrutiny

Men fly The War-Plane of Mutiny
By querying their Destiny
And fly The Very Flag of Mutiny
When Destiny they mock with scrutiny
Vowing to no more drink Martini 
Nor in other coolers harbor any tinny

Just like Britain can’t erase her felony
When Nigeria was her colony
One can’t A World of Monotony 
Through ceaseless appearance in a ceremony!

Into it I

(a sonnet)

Two realities, both alike in dignity,
In fair America, where we lay our scene,
There fallacious grudges explode into mutiny,
and lawful-blood makes patriot-hands unclean.

From common bonds these neighborly foes,
sail contrary seas of truth; on which they stake their lives.
Some, stoked for misadventure, by the host of a TV show,
do with their scurrilous deeds bury their futures

Mutiny

Finally, the ship Queen Mary had set sail.
With a crew out for vengeance on the open sea.
Capt. Wood was captain, without blemish, or fail.

Listen to this story of betrayal,
As the Queen Mary set sail under Capt. Wood the mighty.
Finally, the ship Queen Mary had set sail.

A fortnight out, the Queen Mary screamed a wail.
Her captain

I dedicate this poem to Thomas Cunningham,
who I admire for the tales he tells in poetry form. 

MUTINY

I stands at the bow
Proud to lead
I get the first catch
and splash
Pretense while I breathe
as if our lips our sealed together
in this hallowed breeze
The skill of his hands
that masterfully guide
the ship to the seas
My intricate gown
he sees only

Mutiny Against Stupidity

The world is like a sea
The countries are mobile ships
When a great plague washes over
Not from scruby, but from corona.

The colonial ships take extreme measures
To keep their colonies safe and secure
By staying indoors to keep the disease out
Wear the bandana masks to protect from it
Keep six feet apart unless ye be six feet under water
Only

The Cane Mutiny

He had but one leg and one eye
and a ship run aground sitting dry
but his cane - still attached
and his limp - unabashed
caused the ladies to mumble – “OH MY”.

The Amistad Mutiny

Slavery, a dirty word no matter how it’s pronounced:
Abducted and herded to the slave fortress of Lomboko1 for trade.
To be tossed in chains below deck on the Portuguese ship Tecora,2
Sailing the Atlantic Middle Passage3 leg of the voyage,
Disenfranchised from their Mendiland4 home in Africa.

Bound for Caribbean disembarkment on the Cuban Island5 in 1839;
They

Scrutiny of Mounting Mutiny

Wanted to feel secure so had a scrutiny,
Of what would  be big mounting mutiny;
How  they react,
To body contact;
Immediately knew ir required immunity.

Mutiny In Trees

The water has receded
And I can see everything
in the bottom of the stream
Big pebbles of assorted colors
covering each other
frogs scampering about
and big fish meddling around
I stared in the silent water 
watching rubble floating on top 
giant rocks planted in the sand 
unaware of what is at hand
And openly denying that
they didn't know each other
I walked

Breathe Mutiny

Shackle my hands so I cannot write.
My words will still put up a fight.

If ideas offend you, close the book.
If you seek the truth take a closer look.

Try all you can to put me down.
You will end up looking like the clown.

My verse is the voice and ear to my pain,
metaphors and similes in
