I stretched every word
In substance and context

Misundersanding

Words taken out of context
Meaning misconstrued
Feelings fractured - yours and mine
Hearing turned off - 
but we are not that different
Are we?

Wisdom In Fathoms

Poetry is a body of water, 
With the title being its' surface;
The context deep or shallow. 
It's as far in the water,
One chooses to go...


Premium Member Embellish

Listen to poem:
Dreams embellish stark reality
with the context of
an array of endless
possibilities,
shiny and shimmering,
enlisting and empowering
hope

Sorry

No matter context,
whenever someone starts to tell you the truth
It always seems like an apology
for all the lies that you've already been told

Premium Member Frozen Out of Context

Ice hits hot water 
vanishes,
steam curls 
against faucet.

Reminds me of someone—
how quickly they left,
how cold they were 
before they went.

When the House says words cross the line?
What should we say next
If free speech lacks context?

Through Sleep’s Veils

my feet battle blankets

Out of Context

While we all were still asleep
Trump was still being a creep;
Taking things out of context;
Naughty things doing next;
Amount of his bills was steep.

Feminists

Well, I'm neither for the Wo(MB)men,
Nor for folks whose pants hold somethings.

But tis the truth,what're you women making yourselves?:
Putting men out of context.

Premium Member What Do You Wish For

predominance
is of moment
content and now
shape and form
of social context
to market illusion
freedoms in time
that mean nothing
more than dorothy
click your heels

From Her Eyes

Sorrow fills
the context of my page
as it drips
    from her eyes
making pools
    in her lap
that pour down
between the crease
of her thigh and her waist
with a purple hue
from the dress she wears.

Premium Member Out of Context

A monsignor from 'la belle France'
Split the Scriptures into chapters,by chance,
A colleague in fair  Erin's isle
Introduced verse,within a short while-
Take care,when said.. quotes can mislead,by a mile.

Happy In 4,3,2,1

The 'crucial' material, superficial and trivial,
Affects subjects in context of perfected defects,
Venial miracles, remedials for the cynical,
Introspect. Project and infect, this selected side-effect.

Forever Is Now

Today
is in context
Tomorrow
is not

The moment
held captive
The future
uncaught

To be
unbegotten
No birth
and no death

The present
resplendent
No last
— dying breath

I am
not motivated

adversity is
torn from
headway
unaware

context
can be
needlessly
preemptive

could
afterworld memento
calmly
vanquish
through
salvation

Murdead Whales... Come, Viles, to roo'n mankind; 
Messied Wonts and Voors, cling to grassied side-be-side;
Mersey's waves in vastest willeddest Summertime,
Merdrer's muggying Wives, jogst very lost in weedsy trashline.

Duet

High strung  tight heart strings
A shy chord of melody
Fretfully slowly thrummed




To express the feelings and fears of new young lovers
in the context of musicly blended notes
within the haiku rules of conduct
