Poetic Justice Poems

What the Silence Hid

She smiled in rooms that cracked her spine,
where beauty bruised and grace meant lie.
They called her calm, not knowing this–
each breath she took was clenched like fists.
The silence praised was not her peace. 
It was the cage. She found the keys.

Premium MemberOF LIBERATING POETIC JUSTICE: APROPOS OF FREESTYLE RENDERING

In the composing

of every liberated poet

of poetic justice,

every pen is a freestyle

composition

irrespective of structural

rendering

of the divine birth-wording

that has been given

from the supreme

conductor’s wand’s

 instructions

as to where to be

and go

in the rhythmic

flow of

the frothing waves

of awareness

shared in the imaging

canvas of eyes

and ears

to behold that

of the essence

of freed minds

whose souls

are as deep empty wells

waiting to be filled

with

My cousin Vince was no prince you see

Just a bully in the first degree 

He'd curse as you went by

Maybe spit in your eye

Or you might get slammed against a tree


Our family knew he was wackadoo

He was our shame and our black sheep too

He might noogie your head

Or just punch you instead 

And once he

We went to Tegia to capture slaves
And we took some fetters with us.
But in the end, we Spartans were enslaved,
And they fixed our fetters on us.

POETIC JUSTICE
 
To me, what really is poetic justice?
It's the realm I unlock my muse & sayings.
Poetic justice is unleashing magical piece
that set creativity plain like in matrix;
By that, almost nothing goes amiss.
It's like standing on a precipice.

Ironically, somethin' definitely will miss.
But certainly not my punchlines,
Figures of speech & poetic device.
Poetic justice is like artistic

She called IRS, medical boards and more
On Tuesday she got a ring-a-ding-ding
A misinformed SWAT team broke down her door

The gavel slammed its judgement down
On my impassioned plea,
Doomed to run-on sentences
Served concurrently.
My term began an infinite jest,
Time after time, time without rest.
On and on, again and again,
Ad infinitum, days without end.
Illicit contraband stashed in my sock, 
Wearing a jumpsuit here on The Rock.
Sand in an hourglass keeps me in hock.
Forever and ever, and ever

Words hold so much mystery and power and bleed the heart out 

Healing powers of writing down my thoughts are what I try to do. 

My mind is lost and so is my soul

In love I am 
Heart of a fool 
But to love 
so sweet the warmth 
Of exposing your true

Poetic Justice

When mocking a rival with mask
Prepare to be taken to task
For you may look dumb
When your test results come
And the public has questions to ask.

Is it simply, as you have made clear,
Like a flu that will just disappear
Or will you, like your speech,
Try injecting some bleach?
We’re on needles and pins just to hear.

All who claim

Poetic Justice

By Dr Jose Manimala PhD


Doctor, behold, embolden spirit cheer ye,
C M may sharpen yore bloody dagger,
To pierce your brave – heart,
Lo, the fallen mighty, dreams to dust,
Bawd Swapna swoon double - heart, 
Golden dreams took wings forever,
Na, crook ain’t  my king, no more,
Where chatte queens reign!
Derriere queen is no bloom.
But a sucking vortex!

There was a ranger 
Keen in spotting danger 
Dealing with a hurricane 
Violent storm giving a stage name 
Bringing weather notoriety and fame 
In the meteorological game 
With an assistant 
Being persistent 
One time sung the Broadway blues 
Trying to live a life honest and true 
Before blowing a fuse 
Had everything including a private

We must find our truce our words
When clouds thunder out our hearts to rain
Down to pummel our peace
Where our sanctuary finds so little shelter
To birth contentment in our fate
Rather our solace like oceans of serenity redeem promise
Our spirits reservoir runs deep 
With rivers of grace pouring from them  
Overflowing with our surrender to beauty
Joy

Poetic Justice

Spider deftly climbs on by,
Quickly moves on toward the fly.
Ugly, arrogant arach,
In he steals for the attack.
Silently devours his prey,
Hungry still, he moves away.
Enter bored and grumpy cat:
Death to spider, whack and splat!
