Postmortems Poems | Examples


List of Member Poems

Pastime

Paint pretty pictures peacefully 
Paddle past ports paddocks – places panoramic 
Peruse prospects pending play 
Plan perceive possible plots 
     

Pander persuade people precociously 
Promising provocative plans persuasively 
Propose patrons participation piquantly 
Provide platforms permitting passion 
  

Paradoxical pleasures permeate pleasingly 
Participants partake pander panache 
Paradigms preempt paradise pleasantly 
Post-postmortems provide perchance possibilities 
     

Present portray peaceful poise 
Poignantly permit passing promises 
Pledge pitch permit pipe-dreams 
Pilot phenomenal pleasing performances

Broken Bows

While as getting lost aneath the truth betwixt; postmortems lines....

Shall I engage to entangle myself once more within these enlivened

Embodiments, whom wish to cast me into their unblinking morticious eyes?!

Projecting melancholy tears; this enigma chained unto its own bend and bites

Misconceived, scripted sights within interpretatives thorns and now I find  

Myself pressed, to be nailed unto their judgmentals crucifying cross....

Why; but I know why? As if I am indebted unto they this life of mine yet, how?

O wretched flesh so imperfect you are amid these constant falls as they

Whom close their eyes to look away; that darkness it may be, although

Spawned from the very irony of its own amissful night in poisoned arrows....
