Without a shake
of the head
or turned up nose

The truest form
of rejection
—the eyes

Premium Member Blue Jay Rejection

blue jay’s blundering
Keeps the birds stirred up today
Blue jay rejection
Heart feels his loneliness
A social outcast myself
Form: Tanka

Like a Tumor

Tethered to you by an 
Umbilical cord of blame
Massive heart attacks 
Of rejection serrate
Ripping through vagina of hate

Untitled #323 / "why Did You Stop Shaving?", Pt. Ii

“Why did you stop shaving, Jesse?”
It is my attempt to project a façade
of masculinity in the face of rejection
by the opposite sex

Love Rejection

Emotions are concentrated in three places
They muddle up the brain 
They are evident on all faces 
And its heart that feels the pain
Form: Grook


Teton Farewell

If the Rockies
don’t speak to you ... 
never return

The quiet their 
rejection
— a silent goodbye

(Dreamsleep: July, 2024)

In Russia You Have To Drink Alcoholic Drinks

In Russia do not drink is infraction
if not vodka it causes rejection
whoever is abstemious is screwed
 must live cloistered and booed

Rejection

"Nap," written in blue
Resting means I'm a burden
Get no rest at night
To see the depths of my soul
You might just know rejection

Emotional Blackmail

Oct 2014

Emotional blackmail
Rejection unveiled
Manipulative plan
To get what they can
Absorbed in their needs
Their own ego’s to feed

Reject.


Love is a job.
Dating is the interview.
Rejection stops me applying to be with you.

Trump's MDs now searching the pool
Know organ transplant prolongs rule
For match perfection
Without rejection
His kidney must come from a mule
Form: Limerick

Skinned

That day you said “No”
I was skinned alive
on the abattoir of rejection
bleeding my heart has been
agony burns as flames
of hell set loose on me

Premium Member A Calm Reflection of a Rejection

A calm reflection...of a rejection

Does seem a hard thing to do.

Yet introspection... before dejection

Brings more peace than you ever knew.

Premium Member Possibly Right

Absolutely depressing. 
Truly ludicrous and ridiculously.
Can, at the very least. 
Though tragic, right opposition. 
Is similar to a harsh rejection.

What’s painful yet quick to recall?
A man wants to fly but must fall   
Rejection can hurt
Being stomped in the dirt
Is the unkindest cut of them all
Form: Limerick

Premium Member Agape love

The echo we seek,
presupposes rejection,
manifesting destiny.

Love in love with love,
for the sake of love alone,
disappears transformed as bliss.

Premium Member Unwanted

Unwanted
Nobody’s choice,
A lone star adrift,
Unwanted
Nobody’s beloved,
A broken piece of glass,
Unwanted
Nobody’s treasure
A dead leaf floating away.

Refusing To Play

Looming large in my absence,
  the silence screamed out my name

Present in my rejection
 —refusing to play the game

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2014)

Her face showed he'd come off as predal
Now it was too late to backpedal
"Stupid wins prizes,"
She shouts, "of all sizes,"
Her handprint now worn like a medal

Scars

I fear light of dark
Fear a lonely night
Filled with emptiness 
Sleeps looms miles away
Ghosts of rejection lie next,
I feel it’s cold fingers;
Oh! cold ecstasy
