Premium Member Against All Oddity

Morbidity is against all oddity
   when lucidity is in its virginity*

Oddity

She's an oddity
They say
But I don't care

I am who I am

I am creation
purity and urge

I am magic and fire
and heart and reason.

Premium Member Anything Goes

Don got the boot 
    for wearing a suit

  Recruiters said, 'Anything goes'
    so Don pierced his nose

  Now he's a hot commodity
    instead of an oddity

Premium Member Jar

A jar now mutely holds washers and clamps, nuts, bolts, screws, buttons, and the oddity. It once held the dreams I dreamt and jangled with hopes, desires I’d saved, lost in one life.

Premium Member Barnyard Follies

My chicken has been flickin'
Her feathers in the hay
The cattle waged a battle
In their field the other day
A turkey feeling perky
Jumped up and ran away
Feeling daft, I laughed and laughed,
That's all I've got to say.

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

The Oddity of the Truth

The oddity of the truth
To shift through information
And false intelligence 
Delivered by men in suits
Paid lackeys reading from a cue
Semitic voices
Feeding the air way
With hatred
Compliant press repeat the untruth
Rill, we believe
Wax lilies in the pond is real

Thought

The Beauty of Human's Thought
    Lies Not in Intelligence;
       Lies Not in Faith;
          Lies Not in Gene.


The Beauty of Human's Thought 
    Lies Only When They
       Fear, Aware, Curbed;
           A State Between Nothingness and Oddity.


Wake Up, Luqman!

Scattered Arc and a Life

An angel's carpet dream
woven in the sky; amidst the clouds
a true utopian abode, a perfect oddity

Somewhere on the monochrome rainbow
little miss sunshine cry
failed to awe the morning blend

And the human, waits.
for the clarity of their mind,
a manifestation of eternal question
red

Enamored

I love  you from the curves
                 of your body,
                  to the recondite of
                   your soul,
                 and the minutiae
                 oddity
                 of your mind... !     
                 i love you
                 enthusiastically !

Lukewarm loudmouth listless ludicrous Leland Lee
Made a merry mockery goading murderous Melody
Nefarious needlessness if you ask the likes of me
Offensive objectifying ornery oddball oddity.
Parlaying pretty pukey habits during the grand Prix
Quarrels started up about it all over our family.

Premium Member A Little Monkey

I see you have a little squirrel monkey. To have him for a pet seems like an oddity. Right now, he is gawking at me, With his noises, the primate shows hostility. I just hope he will not bite me. If he charges, and begins to attack, I will literally have a monkey on my back.

Premium Member The Elysian

Listen to poem:
The Elysian Of a dawning in a brilliant twilight hoverance, Skipping along an unmarked trail so unexpectedly, Dared naught say out mumbled words offered without pure malice, None receptive to my thoughts for a soulless oddity. 2019 May 10 *2nd Place* Arbitrium Divisa ~~Gregory R Barden

Pink Sky

I want to see the pink sky
The one you rarely see
That good blend of white and red
Clouds, sun, and lighting scheme.
I want to see the pink sky
That glorious sight indeed
Sunsets are to be orange
But I love this oddity.
Our bond is like the pink sky
Bizarre as it may be
But in the eyes of beauty
Judgment is a rarity.

Premium Member The Top Hand

(Or, How We Seek Shelter...)

Dismissive Acceptance
Is In An Oddity...

Will We Relax Un-Satisfied
As Ridiculous Laughter
Uncases Us?

The Wrapping, Once
Removed, Discarded?

I'm Nosy, What's Inside
There, Laughing Superior
At Whatever We Ever Become?

...Ever Are?

Aren’t You Curious?

Naked

Exposed and bare,
stripped and stark-

a body without a soul is nude...
an unclad essence in the dark.

Unvarnished and unsettled,
raw and unprotected-

me without you- defenseless...
an overt still rejected.

Within my natural modesty,
I've found a reason to be prude-
a manifestation and oddity,
I'm more hidden in the nude.

Nawty There

Nawty There
How can I address you properly?
You can't take off my dress
You nawty child
You've gotten her pregnant!
Get out of this house now
He was pulling one off
And pulled a muscle
It was a power shaft
She always upsets him
Only coz she loves him
The concept of time
Meant nothing when fecking
They worked as pilots
For the Arkansass National Guard

Premium Member Dandelion

Listen to poem:
In mysterious oddity
This precious commodity..
Time.
It marches. It whistles it's way down the track.
It passes, it flies. 
We can never go back.
We can spend it and share it
Or selfishly hoard.
It's sand through our fingers..
Like glue when we're bored.
Time.
It's a God given gift..
At it's best when we share.
We can blow it and sow it
Like seeds in the air.

Premium Member The Octopus Lamp

Once Upon several decades ago, I spied an octopus lamp.
My younger sister teased me out of it, calling it horrible names.
I have forever wished I had ignored her, for I am still looking.
These days the octopus lamp would be considered Steampunk.
Back then, it was a mere oddity, something novel, something I loved.
I so wish now I had ignored the teasing, for I have never seen it again.

Mr Curveball

Mr Curveball was a drifter visiting from left field 
Mr Curveball only stayed long enough to be a fleeting thought, 
a brain sneeze, his presence often indicated by frowns, 
robotic owls looking around, he was a head scratch, 
fingers on a chin, occasionally rubbing slowly
invisibly introduced as a spaghetti of oddity until he moved on
- a man dressed as a question dressed as a man undressed

Celebrities' Privacy

Strange, but wealth and fame breed odd insecurities
of blokes and chicks called showbiz 
pampered deities.


When still unknown they thirst for popularity,
dreaming to be a hot, glitzy 
celebrity.


They long to bask in stardom's charm and vanity.
But when they're there, they turn 
into an oddity:


They nod at fans inside long limo's secrecy,
behind dark glasses, pining 
for lost privacy!

Architect

Gift of the fathers
Stand before others
Hands of the mothers
Hold us together
Ten story oddity
Steel shelled monstrosity
Like organs dwell
Cubicle cell
The nervous system
Organic hell
Paper blood
A computer god
Timeless toil
Ignorant clock
Its not life
It’s your job
War is waged
A profitable crusade
Overtime, time saved
An epic escapade
Dig holes, deep as graves
Line your coffins
With dollars paid

Premium Member Eccentricity 101

ECCENTRICITY IS IN THE AIR  
I DON'T KNOW HOW  
BUT I KNOW IT'S THERE  

ECCENTRICITY IN A CAN? 
I'M NOT SURE MOST 
WOULD UNDERSTAND 

OFTEN REFERRED TO AS AN ODDITY 
IT CAN'T BE BOTTLED 
AND IT'S NOT A COMMODITY 

IDIOSYNCRATIC BEHAVIOR OF MAN 
IT'S NOT REALLY STRANGE 
IF YOU UNDERSTAND 

ECCENTRICITY IS AN ENERGY 
CAPRICIOUS IN NATURE 
AND HARD TO BELIEVE 

CAN'T BE BOUGHT AND OR SOLD 
WE ONLY ACQUIRE 
WHEN WE GROW OLD
