Some Soupers would censor all sex
They think sex should stay below decks
Sex written in verse
Or sex rather terse
Sex leaves us all pheromone wrecks!...

Ravenous, my love
My growling needs censor
Churning belly,boiling heat

Famished, my dear
Sweetly chide my wolfish nature
While me, you gently devour...

She's short and squatty, all ass, no body
Looks like this one's gonna end up bawdy
Out of control
The censor patrols
Gonna get me unless they're into the hot toddies...

If you heard a Soup Censor holler
They just saw a Cook Islands dollar
Allowing for windage
That Tiki appendage*
Could incite a 9-1-1 caller! 


* Gershon-approved, i.e., circumcised
Is that sufficient evidence
the Lost Tribes of Israel 
were on a Cook-out?...

Holding my temper, I cry
Holding my eyes, I censor
Holding my tongue, I’m muted
Holding my ears, I deafen
Holding my hunger, I starve
Holding my thirst, I dry up
Holding my love, I push back
Holding my zakat, I give
Holding everything Holy; 
Holding and shunning evil.

In the midst of
everything in the whirl
life spurts my sigh
crushed by the 
weight of my censor

emotions masked by
seeds of anticipation 
that strangle 
the voice screams
to be heard

inside the pounding 
struggling to get
out echoes louder
deafening my thoughts
undisturbed...unending...

Oft do I feel I should censor my mind,
Spill the ink on the cloth that my words lay,
Snatched by the Raven 'fore I finish my thoughts,
Mistaken by others that read as a foray,
Naught do I mean to cause an attack,
My emotions doth escape without thought,
Unhappiness apparent they will say,
Though the truth is adverse to what they sought....

Travelled from mouth to mouth
North,west,east & south
Far feom the censor's pen-
In memory now,long gone
This poetry of anon

Tribute to the many anon poets who use this form(often with song) 'merely written for the 
people' becoming worksongs/chanties etc outrunning the state censor & fanning freedom's 
flame in al men's hearts....

artic chill
     of polar snow 
storm censor

black ice 
     hushes 
moonlight nomad’s frozen
     scream

Sponsor : Constance La France


NB The artic chill conditions are a metaphor silencing and censoring the excluded homeless nomad....

i am an artist
i write because i feel
i write because somewhere the self censor button got removed, and
this thing we call technology
enabled and liberated 
me
will i become famous?
i dont know
immortal?
i dont know
im just writing this poem to you right now
hoping for some peace
in this crazy world
hoping for some truth
hoping for some love....

My mother filled so many roles,
In helping seven meet their goals.
She reared us by her fine-tuned tools
Of simple but unbending rules.
She was teacher, preacher, censor,
Most of all a love dispenser,
A mentor, doctor, nurse and cook,
Skills not yet found in any book,
Seamstress, laundress and home-maker,
Maid and cake and cookie baker,
All the time filling Daddy's life
With happiness as his loved wife....

Brace into frail wisp sleep
To own fear's blind belief

Undertow foils sunrise break
Through misty green storms

Born of censor fatal shade
Smother sands coil space

Hidden present ready fogs 
Distant past regression

Under sun drenched sky appears 
Matters born unspoken

Covered infants alloy thrown 
Under trapped ice overture

Sounds solvent stricture screams 
From children lost at sea...

You censor me so,
please hear my full row:

Standing on this Creek,
I felt like a greek,
with burning cheek,
I could not speak,
I was forced meek,
with no friends to seek,
my mind began to leak,
soon it was on peak,
I gulped full on peek,
before I sighted that man sleek,
as he came near he began to reek,
 I was forced to gesture and geek,
threatened I lifted the nearby teak,
I have stopped now,
you bloody freak,
its your turn to speak....

They put up a sign on the highway
Which pointed the way to a bridge,
Replacing the prior one, thinking
Perhaps it improved things a smidge.

But yikes! No one bothered to proofread;
The name of the bridge was misspelled.
If I were the person in charge, well,
They’d censor the words I’d have yelled.

It boggles the mind to imagine
How something so stupid occurred.
A double-check would have made certain
Such nonsense would have been deterred....

This old lady feels 
like a broken down car
Many miles on her feet
Joints need oiled, 
so they can move
A new censor
her memory is failing 
Has to have a spark plug
to keep her heart ticking smoothly
Her bones are as brittle
as the wiring gets at times
Eyes are getting dim
like the headlights do
Only thing not needed is the horn
she keeps on a tooting
Overall, she just needs 
totally restored.

To condemn the modern conflicts
like Vietnam, Afghanistan
and Iraq where there’s no quick fix;
and countless deaths in no man’s land
are still shamelessly occurring.
If one should speak out against them
those of us are charged as being
leftwing radicals and condemned
strongly as unpatriotic
a catchall word used to censor
opinion against quixotic
military pursuits and measures
that needlessly spill the lifeblood
of a nation based on falsehoods....

PAST LIVES
By Mark Miller © 11/12/2016
Marching boots upon unspoken graves, 
As Censor taunts intrinsic states
Fleeing the dusk fear panic
To covet are ready many facade-.
Fallen past through people driven hosts,
Who file mechanical figure holes
Coffee Coffin breaks bewildered illusion 
Of empty cubic selves lying deception
For hubris stance feeds apathy
In the living struggle pride 
For the whole man's passage walks 
With dust and flakes by eye's of a stranger...

You never know what's going on
Within somebody's head.
We follow clues but often
So much more is left unsaid.

Though body language gives off hints
We never can be certain
That what's presented matches with
The truth behind the curtain.

What's on display for folks to see
Has passed an inner censor
So often we are left with fluff;
Reality is denser.

And sometimes when facades are cracked
The view might make us queasy.
We therefore rarely dig too deep;
The effort's never easy....
