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.

OF 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

Poetic Justice
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

Poetic Justice - Birdman of Easyville
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

Poetic Justice
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
Poetic justice
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!

Poetic Justice-Go North and Live
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

Poetic Justice
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!
