Premium Member The Ss Are Squinding

Slippery squat salamander squinding,
Sucking, slurping under my sailboat. 
Deviously deciding a dindling,
Grotesque gargoyle giants squind your throat!

Premium Member I Avoid Exaggerators

Another farfetched story from Helen Louise
Bizarre, fantastique, grotesque if you please
Eccentric and strange, decidedly *****
I ran out screaming, for embellishers I fear
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member Burlesque

My naive picture of Burlesque
Some lovely ladies junoesque
Slapstick humor risky
Dancers rather frisky.
Mom would consider it grotesque.

Witch

Wacko mind born confused
With grotesque ugly face 
Web of deceit her game
Worshipping evil eyes
Wicked soul casting spells
Wordless wrathful weaver 
Wounding beautiful hearts

Reflection

Touch me reflection
let me feel the nothing
in your grotesque
moulded water undulates
shadows swims
the amber fades
something in the drifted lights
and beauty finds the shape

Circus

CIRCUS 


Exiled from native homes
Slave creatures imprisoned, 
Forced to do tricks,
Tightrope lions, clapping seals.
Elixir of grotesque clown disguises  
Drab animal lives.

While Trump Did Wear Diaper

While Trump Did Ware Diaper

We saw Trump while he wore a diaper,
Looking grotesque being a big griper;
When near,
Pain in rear;
Wherever he has been is always hyper.

Premium Member Gone

calling the dark, dismal, fear involved, painfully grotesque, cemetery, she’s still gone

Beauty

Behind the veil of beauty, 
reside darkness
waiting like lover
peering through the windows,
counting the ticking of clock 
cometh the hour,
transported from illusion 
to grotesque,
all beauty decay.

A Glandular Strangler We Should Deter

A Glandular Strangler We Should Deter

Greeted general area that is glandular,
When he started becoming a strangler;
Grotesque glands;
Spastic hands,
Who we should be sure to try to deter.

Premium Member Schism

The teacher's feet flew up on the desk,
    Striking the class as rather grotesque:
       It caused quite a schism,
       As she'd just escaped prison!
    Was this a school-room or house of burlesque?

Premium Member Summer Day, 1983

Grotesque tall neurons sprout into the sky screaming anarchic omniscience Green gold pulses in incandescent eruptions Hot humorless jagged rocks cut through omniscient anarchy

Inspiration

Profound Dazzlement!
Icicles formation. And
dripping as sun shines.
Brushing off the grotesque gloom
Inspiration, I oft zoom.

Premium Member the gs have it

gigantic girlish ghouls gathered at Gate’s gazebo
glabrous ghouls glistening grotesque globs of gloom
gothic goldbricking good-for-nothing gossips on the go
green-eyed grandstanding grifters, guests of green groom.

Premium Member Chin

What's something 
really gross 
you've seen lately? 

For me, 
it was a toothless old lady 
on a bus stop bench, 
gumming Cheetos she first 
softened up 
in a paper cup of water, 
her mouth and chin 
bright orange.

Rapture Caused By Caricature

Caricature is a picture, description, or imitation

Capture rapture caused by a caricature.

Pray For Me

I pray for you;
for I am nasty.
I pray for you;
for I am mean.
I pray for you;
for i am grotesque.
I pray for you; 
for I am demented.
i pray for you;
for I am horrific.
I pray for you; 
in hopes that you pray for me.

Seclusion of My Heart

My heart a grotesque thing with teeth,
And its eyes pale to the shadow of the moon.
While the still nights air reeks of its stench,
Lust, love and all emotions, are but strings,
Weaving, it out of my bosom and into seclusion.

Parting the River

Crisscrossed 
your cat's eye
and I pray
you anesthetize me
Now.

Before I speak
Up and stumble
onto this
ridiculousness.

Far fetched and
grotesque is this
self-afflicted
ignominy.

Dismissal, readiness
without a backpack.

Premium Member Gargoyle

Gothic creatures of old
  gaze down from their ledges 
    glaring at unseen threats.
       Grotesque legends of stone
    garner my attention 
  garish symbols ward off
ghoulish evil demons.

Coming Up the Stage

Before hitting the first step.

The harlequin turned is grotesque face up to me,

-He had the power to charm or frighten weak souls-

and asked mockingly:

You ready for the play? Poor Fool!

You ready for the rebirth? Poor Fool!

No Noble Motivation

To be moved by the pain yes ..
fall in love with her, no ...

To be moved by sadness,
it's a human symptom, having pleasure
this is addiction ...

Captivated by the mystery, it is
horrible provoking, living in darkness
it's grotesque ...

Premium Member The Empty Pea Pod: Rimbaud et Verlaine

pact fusion hath brewed
welds cauldron spewed spit fiery
sparse talents biformed renowned
oddity affair
ardent youth pose statuesque
fragile innards touch grotesque
bursts end aggression
severs espousal rapport
guilt aspires realist soars
