Premium Member Did He Just Give Us the Finger

The pugnacious primate up to know good.
Exhibiting face, so close, where we stood.
Full confrontation.
Exacerbation,
As he scoops up his poop, eats it as food.

Premium Member Confrontation

A murderer was asked
by a father,
"When you killed my boy,
did you send him 
to heaven or hell?"
And the murderer replied,
"While he lived,
did you send him
to heaven or to hell?"

Premium Member Dodge Ball

The always amazing and unassuming
flight from confrontation fright
The rude avoidance of acquaintance
with life’s challenges with dances
How can these issues of man survive,
and still claims the balls?

Premium Member Furious Passions

Our furious passions, like wild rams, 

in a fight within our hearts, engage

To a head-butting confrontation, 

Trying, one another to upstage!

Premium Member A Waiting Game

He breaks your heart
  Tears you down and apart
Lip buttoned, your kid shuts you out
  Where to turn, How to start...

Extra patience is called for
   It's a waiting game
Confrontation only gets you
   More of the same

Premium Member Subjective Interlude

flowers in conversation 
or
confrontation 
in white-bright light.
duet, leaning
as if elbowing the window
of an automobile,
glaring-blank stare.
the other with violet eyes -
the kind
that drives the point
home.

It's a Mad Mad Mad World Out There

I want to know
What happens after
This confrontation

Well  !
Well  !


Dr Jekyll

Experimented

With potion

And

Mr Hyde

Tested

Too

And

It 
Made 
Em

Both

Mad !
Mad !
Mad !

I
Tell
You
Mad !

Predator spies her
Sea’s delicacy
Tempting, alluring
Confrontation comes
Jaws open, eyes fixed
Girl missing at sea

Premium Member Downtowns Deflowered

Condemnation, confrontation
  Nasty, no-compromise nation

Protestors plentiful, a passel irruptive
  Ornery out-of-towners, so disruptive

Downtowns deflowered in
  Portland Chicago, Seattle
Lawless looters ~
  Time to skedaddle

PASSIONS LIKE THE RAMS


Like the rams,  
Our passions each other up size, 
Before 
In endless fight, within our hearts, they
Engage 
To a head-butting confrontation,
Trying 
One-another to 
Upstage!

Premium Member If You Want To Miscommunicate

If you want harsh feelings
If you strive to miscommunicate
If you adore confrontation
If you want hatred to call you out
If your brain is disengaged
If you do not remember how harsh written words are
If you love to miscommunicate

A Momentary Denial

Is your courage abandoned
  in the cold and lost

From a temporary crisis,
—an unplanned confrontation

Does it wait for reassurance
  as you run and hide

From a seconds indecision,
—a momentary denial 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)

Confrontation

The folds of arrogance loosen and spill,

Though draped upon the shade of restraint.

?

Relentless flare of crimson defiance,

Met with the cool stubbornness of blue.

?

Tomorrow tangles like wild vines,

Today wields a blade of bitter resolve.

Feel It

Deeply enriched by stimulating sensations.
Mind vs. body is a dangerous confrontation.
Exposed to desire, and uncontrollable urge.
Feeling an implosion as it begins to surge.
Bodily rushes to great to be scared.
When it all comes to an end,
Who's truly there to care?

Premium Member Veep-Veep

We have a Veep named Harris
  by her I am embarassed

Has she been to the southern border
  (You'd think the question was murder)

I haven't been to Europe, she replies
  She wiggles and squirms, but will not lie

As for her opinion on immigration
  I think I'll avoid a confrontation

Premium Member Mirage Volcanic Event Retaliation

cuckoo bystander
hippies hound
desecrate passing
shrewdly badmouth
siegfried bobcat
wake european
spirits enlisting
the globally
fortuitousness by
reading rhythmic
confrontation dutifully
fluster fission
spat and
unite your
sourness unlearned

Premium Member I Don'T Like Confrontation

I ddddddd don’t like….con….fronnnnnntations
This is how I feel about them too
But it is funny to see myself on film
Biggest wimp ever 
Which shocked and horrified Marty
That is his dad after all!
It is not attractive.
I see that for myself now, yet I still
I ddddddd don’t like….con….fronnnnnntations

Thomas Martin

Thomas,
Loving, memory, poetic, visual
Brother of Bobby
Lover of Joyce, Hanna, stars
Who feels love, closeness, joy
Who fears confrontation, violence, snakes
And not wild about blood and gore, the military, crass cultures
Who would like to see peace, harmony, acceptance
Resident of Portland, Oregon

Premium Member A Mind Made Up

a stain doused with bleach, 
     scrubbed with power grout brush
           yet stubbornly remains.
   confrontation with a mind made up...
                  a losing battle.

Online Ignorance Blind To Fear

You and I have two ears and just one mouth
so we all should listen more than we shout
but with our ten fingers and our two eyes
a tendency to just lash out online

Yet we've one hundred billion brain cells
form the opinions we allow set sail
when our sense of confrontation sits blind
we raise all Hell toward people online
