Scrunching Poems | Examples

Those who teach can’t

For some reason the radiator is on
Some sun skimmed summer
Our ties slung in varying disrespect
Head resting against palm to feign the guise of awake
My desk scrawled with the names of ones before
some etched some gouged
A slug shaped excuse for a mammal gurgling on about that and another
As I watched glints of sunlight skip together outside
like some ethereal game of tag
For some reason the always called me mister followed by the abrasion of my second name

You are hear to learn

Like a cue my head swivelled in unison with my sigh

What can I say look at my teachers

My hands already grasping the denim straps of my makeshift bag dragging the contents and scrunching it within

Deliberately squeaking my chair to watch the vessel in his neck just a fraction more as I rose to leave the room 
He still thinks he’s punishing me as I head towards the outside and what will be

Maggie and the Valentine Roses

"Dear man with eyes of finest wheat, I'm hungry and I have nothing to eat " 
Said the beggar to the florist who had an armload of floral work to do 
She showed up every Valentines Day to pick up her free bouquet  
her sweet smile and soft voice charmed him in a special way  
"You are relentless  Maggie, "  he would say with a twinkle in his eye 
as he handed her a dozen roses with a jovial grin... 
She would stand at the curb and sell them one by one as they walked by; 
One February day it was as cold as the Dickens, and no one showed up 
Scrunching a blanket in a corner she hugged her twelve roses and fell asleep 
"Wake up pretty Maggie" came the voice of a rose who had seen better days 
but she slept slept and slept, no Prince Charming to sweep her away   
the next year arrived  no smile at the window no roses for Mag. 
In all of his life  he had never encountered a more beautiful rose such as she, 
what he didn't know was before she died, she imagined his eyes
and entered  the heavens, for free.

I Think I Don'T Like Me That Way

sometimes our skin a trampoline
word tricks bouncing outside borders
letters getting stuck in springs
too hard to pronounce
sometimes a male forest
trees and bark and dark animal like that
sometimes I suppose its prose
I don’t knows
it’s the many one thing 
scrunching fingers and toes
sometimes teeth and nose
we know exactly what we’ll never like
what we’re never like
not like that
until our eyes and ears 
are pinned into the music
and then our skin sinks deeper into
canyons as we realize the trick is no illusion
just another us 
protruding from inside youthful insolent springs

Death Threw That

felon feelings feign
taunted tricks trained
seeped in scrunchies
pulpy passion spilled
lofty leering lust
gaunt guts gulped

vying veins scrunching
pruning punctured pelvic
in salient symmetry

pale physiognomy inky
fiery drips fostering
oomphy ocean oozing

death threw that
this taunts tat.
       20:01:09:00:11

~Note~ An heart that ignores the emotion, 'love'.

Contract Into Catastrophe

yawning yucks vying
salient sin scrunching
felon feast fiddling
feigning fostered feeling
sorrow met laughter
twain callous criminals

curvy court clutched
sumptuous shriek sucked
lurching la-de-da lust

eerie end amputating
drooling desires dangling
met mystic melody

severed smithereens smirking
contract into catastrophe.
     20:01:05:10:45

Callous Harmattan Clutched

bounty body blushing 
heaving hoisted hankering 
under tainted touch 
callous harmattan clutched 
felon feelings fostering 
damped desires drooling 
 
smoggy soles scrunching 
gaunt hands groaning 
laced lips whitening 
 
la-de-da limbs lurching 
voluptuous treachery vying 
indifferent services squashing 
 
damped faces drying 
nocturnal nature smirking. 
      20:01:04:11:17 
 
~Note~ Dedicated to this crazy harmattan.

Nocturnal Ends Neighboring

salient smile scrunching
punctured physiognomy pulsing
voluptuous chin vying
over mystic memory
with callous contentions
seeped in stupefaction

rusty rubberneck moaning
airy attention fostering
damped dog downbeat

nocturnal ends neighboring
felon results rustling
saucy rebellion smirking

Her dad disembarked;
His monstrous master.

My idea of the story - A picture prompt.
   A girl took her dog with her to meet her father who was a sailor. He'd been away for like forever. He was a loving father to the girl, and a cruel monster to the dog.
Sooner he disembarked and was coming towards her (After few years of departure). At the thought of the replications of sweet memories that'd be restored, she smiled happily at her returning father. While the dog frowned upon the arrival of his monstrous monster: variation of feelings and attainment of pleasures. (Emphasis on the last couplet).

Yawning Year's Yucks

rusty year remonstrating
saline liquid scrunching
mild moans sighing
felon fate vying
peremptory peers tuning
sacred sorrow plotting

mild went wild
fate feign smile
past pulsing bile

lusty limbs lurching
la-de-da luck lustrating
lanky life leering

yawning year's yucks!
nocturnal new's numb.
        20:01:02:08:35

Rusty Year Retiring

weary waves whooshing
hoisted horizons hankering
dark dances drooling
felon fate fostering
airy atmosphere amputating
salient seas scrunching

mystic melody moaning
fiery figs feigning
voluptuous veils vying

callous crest crumbling
rustic rays reeling
lusty labium leering

tactic tiers tearing 
rusty year retiring.
    20:01:01:00:53

Salient Satyr Scrunching

eyes etched eerily
in mystic mists
of taunted tracks
drooling death damped
felon feet fostering
hoisted spree heaving

salient satyr scrunching
locked laced lips
in hankering hymns

saucy smirk blushed
zeal cold-blood cupped
punctured pleck dumped

lusty limbs lurching
topsy-turvy twain tumbling.
      19:12:31:04:41

Skeptical Swollen Soles

skeptical swollen soles
tracing dark toes
on vying veins
of tactic trains:
lofty lousy limbs
etched in ink

drastic dances dripping
on seeps scrunching
in jumpy jolly

mystic melody birthed
embroidered with will
virtuoso concerto crunching

sumptuous soles stretching
la-de-da limbs lurching.
      19:12:29:09:27

Lugubrious Lake Lurching

lugubrious lake lurching
salient waves scrunching
forth feigns fought
inky blue bought
crimson crest cupped
neighboring boulevard lusts

bounty birds pulsing
pelvics pruning perches
on flimsy fishes

drunk daedal dances
of nocturnal nymphs
fostered in flips

west wind whooshes
camped callous crisis.
      19:12:27:14:05

Blushing Bounty Blue

tainted torrent tumbling
wielded waves whooshing
gaunt gravity puked
blushing bounty blue
dark dances drips
trickling tactic thrills

salient sands scrunching
twisting beneath brisk
taunted tongue tick

hoisted horizon hankering
felon feast fostering
voluptuous veins vying

pulsing blue blushed
falling for lust.
     19:12:26:07:52

Consciously Calling Christmas

consciously calling Christmas
dangling days damped;
a punctured peacock
two tulips torn
three mists moaning
four figs fracases

five oaks fostering
six seals scrunching
seven clouds clustering

eight horizons hankering
nine nymphs nosing
ten tales twisting

eleven visions vying
twelve thrones tumbling.
       19:12:25:00:36

Note: An Imitation of Frederic Austin's "Twelve Days of Christmas"

Elizabeth, Fiery Filly

laced lips lurching
ember eerie embroidery
dripping damped nectar
clustering salient coda
sigh scrunching seduction
callous confetti's contraction

hoisted hips hankering
saucy shriek scoring
sumptuous attention seizing

lanky limbs trace
mystic melody's grace
like lusty race

gaze sparks spewing
Elizabeth, fiery filly.
