Short Dissenting(A) Poems

Variables Regarding Venting

There are behavioral variable regarding venting;
Some seem to be about disturbing and dissenting;
And maybe possible,
Are also irresponsible,
And if a religious sort they should be repenting.

A well written poem
about nothing much at all
says itself

Critics lean forward
ready to pounce
The muse stands forth
the muse pronounced

Someone was clowning around
someone heckled
someone got bounced
the dissenting
were openly venting

After the word-play
a well-written poem
was framed and hung
and not in a good way...

They met in October, Mama and Papa Bear.
We were young, in love, we had no care!
From two dissenting clans, but we did dare….
Dancing in the leaves, reflected Mama Bear.

My clan has never let me back in their Papa said.
He smiled at his cubs and shook his furry head.
Let’s go see them, the twins said to each other.
Reuniting him as soon as they yelled “hello grandmother!”...

Africa's venerated literary
icon with words of eloquence
esoteric to the blind.
Distinguished in letters
for ages infinite.
Unequaled in intellect,
and a gadfly of constructive
dissenting views.
Soyinka,
You are indeed a priceless
asset to the black race.
The wise grey-haired doyen
of literary geniuses,
whose genius is in a century
once seen,
and in a millennium, ten times....

Big Ben chimes (resting) his 88th life-line
His oratory socialistically left explicitly refined 
Always rallying heads above the gut-venting whines
Dissenting oratory silenced it seems, but only by Mr Time
His Popeye pipe yet resonates, smoking symbolic his inclined
A Bentonite legacy, a Ben store for the waking walking primed
RIP “The Tony” one... your way is thus comprehensively enshrined...

a storm is brewing
dark hordes bristling to descend
dissenting thunder

coalescent scouts
in tentative teams essay
sun-parched earth awaits

sizzle of drizzle
pheremonal petrichor
harbingers of hope

cool breeze in the air
their work done, drops sponged, expunged
the deluge follows


Written 15 April 2016
First line changed from "storm clouds in council"  to meet contest requirements....

The buff flaunts his elements 
in a dissenting voice.
Don’t go into the lake.
There were no survivors.

Stop kissing the moon 
all night. Clouds were moving 
away for the coronation
of the sun.

The windowpane was broken.
Somebody has jumped into
the audience for a
golden drink.

It was my abstract thought 
to donate my grief to
unrelenting god who was always
sending a twister with daffodils.

My Thoughts on Protesting
2/20/2018
Tom

Through open revolt, dissenting views are expressed,
It’s always about principle, with me, not the reason.
I won’t become a prisoner to any threat or protest,
And I visualize occurrences as another “silly season”.

When many disagree, they soon craft a crude sign,
And it’s never an issue what the majority might say.
Then march in the streets and to the media whine,
Always ready to appear stupid if it gets their way.
