Every time your nervous
hands run
over my
body I am
left
breathless giggling
wishing
my lips could
wildly
run on
you in retaliation
He abused women then just left them flat
Pushed from a roof to the ground he went splat
At Gods feet he'd say,
"Forgive me I pray!"
But she replied, "Oh, It's too late for that!"
My deepest fears are coming true
Total darkness bleeding through
Raging inferno that's within my soul
No longer I desire to maintain control
Exposing the darkness for all to see
"Reveal your demon!" they beg of me
Revenge
Cruelty
penalty
punishment
mercilessness
pitiless
mean payment
repayment
returning anger
retaliation
peaceless
pain-return
unforgiven
sour thoughts
vengeance
payback
harm
injury.
Drench POET Loads
Hatred is actually an elegant, hyper-real, and beautiful reality, feeling, and emotion in response and retaliation to the abominable absence of love and respect and equality in the present world and reality we currently exist in.
Hidden within the depths of words written in the blackest of ink
Are the truths only you and I know
Locked away until the devil speaks his poison
When my retaliation and revenge will be revealed

stop dancing
in circles and figure eights
my name is translucent
nice to meet you, transparent
did you raise an eyebrow?
i doubt it
you've probably thought about this
retaliation
as a possible
option
so now what?
you're it.

The old lady expels a sneeze that travels the length of the stadium
Landing with a salty splat on observers who are rooting for the other team
Yes! Yell her comrades, not realizing the other side has nuclear weapons
And little notion of how unleashing them may hurt the whole stadium.

(Weekly Magnetic Poetry Challenge • September 7–13, 2026)
Fillip not my ear even just once,
it looks juvenile and it is not nice;
don’t even think of taking a chance
by, heaven forbid, doing it twice.
A thing like that I will not take kindly,
it is childish and looks kind of silly,
the sort meriting direct retaliation
like say, a quick facial demolition.
On the edge,
you receive the onslaught
of moonlight.
Drummed and sawed,
you take up the challenge
and move on.
In rains
the dreams wash the rainbow
inviting the Iris.
Tonight, you
will have an audience
will the estranged god.
A taper
in the sun wants its
place on the moon.
Satish Verma
My, oh my
how sharp is the tongue?
I curse you retaliation!
I've become short of luck!
I never knew the difference
Where do I draw the line?
What should I not tell
and what should I not hide?
Thrown off by words I spat,
as I drown in my own debt.
Falling in love is easy,
Falling out is a threat.

Hold on, this won't last forever.
Beyond this storm, is perfect weather.
Focus on the good, not the bad things.
Remember, only angels have perfect wings.
Anger and retaliation, only bring despair.
It never ends, it's never fair.
So I encourage you to toss those shoes.
So that karma, only pays good dues.
And when the days gone, you'll sleep at night.
Because you forgave, not because you were right.
On The Verge
Beady eye, horse riding dictator
Replacing peace with violence
Using conventional weapons against
A sovereign, democratic nation
His wanderlust and ideologic hatred
Remain unabated
Now beginning to see non-edible mushrooms
Rising in the sky
On the verge of world war
Inevitable retaliation
Fire, destruction, and death globally
Nuclear winter to follow
No winner
Senseless
Destruction of our world
My smile is a retaliation.
To everyone else’s anger.
Smiling, and it’s harsh, and it hurts me, but it hurts them more.
Even if they’re still yelling…
Even if the yelling gets louder…
My smiling is like a forcefield.
So that I hear them less and less.
The argument becomes more distant.
And they leave and I hope they hate me.
Smiling, and never crying.
Smiling, and looking in the mirror.
And my face haunts me.
As I set staring so far out at the bay, I saw a flash that was so fieriest and fast. I
looked at the sky with a blink of my eye and saw the black clouds rolling in so
fieriest and fast, for then I heard the thunder roar the wind blowing in such an
unremarkably and fieriest way.
It was as if Mother Nature was so having a retaliation day, so there for I say slowly
calm down my beauty mother of nature; for you are bewilderingly our remarkably
beauty of nature.
This merciless invasion
A wolf in incubation
Deadly maturation
Mandatory isolation
Fear upon fear amplification
World-wide gargantuan
A new generation
Of lives in detention
Many made concessions
Amongst frustrations
Swilling in the stagnation
Of nature's destruction
Unmerciful predation
No retaliation
Where is salvation
On this train of extinction
Oh God help the nations
Escape this damnation
Save us from ruination
And give us resurrection
Surrender;
Dark path to release
fear’s control
and seek peace.
Journey long;
Enduring wrong;
No retaliation sought
In this battle to be fought
within myself.
Flesh cries out,
Longing to shout,
“My heart breaks,
it aches.
This task I cannot bear!
Life’s not fair!”
Surrender;
Dark path without control
To release fear’s hold.
No weapons to embrace;
But Love to seek
And healing in this place
where fear resides
and terror takes its refuge.
Vote on a partner
limiting fighting increasing diplomats;
It’s a moment for supporters
to balance international
offensive and deep concerns,
consequences largely unchecked;
Whatever decision defend and implement;
Reality complicated when the war began;
Militant kidnapped retaliation
death of majority;
Resolution
strong signal change conduct;
Protect
always use influence;
Pressure
use power
allow resolution to represent
a major warning.
Why did you come here?
Was it to gloat,was it to stare?
To take glee in the damage you did to me,
how could you do this?
How could you dare?
Now the damage has been done,
last words have been said.
Just get out of my life
and out of my head.
You used your poison,
concocted with spite.
Seeking retaliation,
looking for a fight.
You used me up, ran me down,
left me now quite ill,
but now with yearned for solitude,
become stronger
and tougher I will.
Retaliation Day
Mother Nature’s hurting
She’s crying, feel the rain?
She’s angry, we’ve abused her
For our own selfish gain.
The world and all its treasures
Are not for us to own.
When will we remember,
To leave her work alone?
Every time we falter
Somewhere people die
This we cannot alter
She’ll match us eye for eye.
Every time we raid the earth
There is a price to pay
How much we will discover
On Retaliation Day.
It is wonderful that you unilaterally
Decided to split up with me
Before Valentine’s Day
I am elated to make the following announcement:
The cake will be shared with my friends
The chocolate will be given to my cats and dogs
The candles will be donated to the church
My lovely mother will receive two bouquets
Of flowers and tomorrow morning
I will place three of your twelve roses
On my beloved father’s grave
And yes, we will have a blast without you.
Hebert Logerie
Poetic justice is real
Here is the ultimate deal
Things come back and bite you
So your retaliation and anger should be few
Smack in the middle of the back.
Things will come around and track.
Enjoy peace and quiet while it lasts
Which is a long time in the aftermaths
Fate has a way of finding us; we cannot hide.
Once it finds you, it grabs you from the other side.
Poetic justice is real, karma is alive and well.
So be nice to people, or you'll find yourself in a living hell.
