I May Or May Not Be Opposed - Contest
From crashing waves he emerges with the clarity of a wide landscape
The king of darkness
Parades
In full view
His garish, monochrome ego
Emergent for all to despise
Original poem (extract):
"Into the ripples of the horizon's haze
The queen of the daylight
Slinks
Then is gone
Her wispy train of colour
Vanishing"

Opposed To Find Your Rainbows End
A quiet storm made its way
Feelings strewn and blown astray
Enamored in one another were we
In turns a desperation to be free
Lost in each other, thus
A soft-focused portrait of us
Warm is the sea as the sun is swallowed
Pleading vacant

He Opposed Every Idea We Had
He was emphatically opposed
to every suggestion his co-workers ever had
Each idea distorted, contorted.
Un-thought out, would not work,
Would fail, falling on its face.
A new optimist was brought to us on Tuesday.
Her ideas were torn apart by him
Slapped down, killed,
Hung, strung, annihilated,
Butchered, sliced, diced.
She could not stop laughing.
For some reason this intrigued him.
He changed, and allowed

Diametrically Opposed
Love is abominable to hate,
hate is contemned by love
Two opposite ends of the spiritual spectrum,
they are metrically pre-dia
Hate can be measured quantitatively
by the number of tears you cry, and sob of
Love expands, it abounds;
it can't be measured by any number
Love is like infinity,
it's a circle that's perfectly round
No beginning, no end ...
love is a pure

Statements Man Opposed Upon This Earth In This Plane Or In Ones Mind
Statements
With hesitation, trepidation, caution, I dance softly
to the music, the sounds of interrelationships, step lightly
upon the dance floor of relationships, of commitment,
- that dance of souls to different drummers that doth rent –
as we try to absorb the beat, slowly moving our feet
across that swinging suspension bridge, minds to meet
as we traverse the gorges,

Opposed To An Oblivion
Opposed to an Oblivion
In Brunswick County, there lived a Bolivian
Who was opposed to having another oblivion
When both he and gorgeous wife here came
To find abundant amount of fortune and fame.
Their realtor who happened to be a loan shark
Tempted them with trying to live in a trailer park
And being there were only two mouths to feed
