Protracting Poems | Examples


Premium Member Haversack Hope

Haversack hopes bring bitter crack
Next to nothing is brought back

Recalled promises all are lacking 
Adding nothing but subtracting 

Public messages are attacking 
Better dreams start retracting

The finish line is protracting 
People gather and start reacting

Premium Member A Mystic Place To Live ------ Potd

Haphazardly, 	
Infinity and affinity mingled, 
In an asymmetry imbalance.

A dishevelled universe, 
Grew and shrank as fire devoured, 
Yet ice sustained.

Outrages currents swirled,
Straightened, dispersed, and garnered,
Dissipated into nothing, 
Only to surge again and again and again.

Until a soft soothing spirit unfurled itself, 
Protracting into every nook,
Fire and ice detached their selves 
Into their proper assumed place,

Light and darkness found their proper place. 
How harmonious was creation now!


P - President

Propped open, perched up
Placed in place on your pedestal
Pondering if your position on top is permanent, your premeditated perverse becomes paranoia
Protracting your path of prideful propulsion while we pause, preoccupied by the propaganda polluting our vision  
To the public your punctual, full of purpose
Pitiful, people cannot perceive the true purpose in your perception
This prison you have placed us in painted as a palace, a paradise for the pensive person
Persistent on pushing politics with a personal preference and no proof of positive effects
A private and profound plan to purge a percentage of the populace
And you are just a piece to the puzzle
Purely a puppet
To ponder is a principal of the people not yet punishable
The paralyzed population still has pupils, piercing through your puny pompous perspective you call protection

Science Fictional Always Possible....

Our world has embraced science fiction
until,we remove the fiction from science

We're submerged in a world of drama and friction
forces of static needed by elemental reliance

Like our television screen attracting dust
our physical shell a protracting bust

sub-atomic particles stimulate gland secretions
chemical interaction which form perception

To feel what we feel since they have no feeling
pain or pleasure have no conscience meaning

To sin...or to syn...a synapes more to the point
controlling every cell,every muscle and joint

Bio-mechanics at it's best,
organic computers in constant test.....
