Sometimes our goodness goes too far,
you know how does it smell,
Alas, but best intentions ARE

thinks she is witty
sarcasm her daily fare
a nonfriend maker

cannot help her barbs
alienates all she meets
my cousin betty

I'd like be flying with the wind 
to find new shores, I'd like to flee, 
But there is contradiction fiend:
I always take myself with me.

Paradigm

The gray separating black and white
Wow
Read one way, an awe inspiring comment
Read another way, sarcasm

What color is your paradigm?

There Is a Cross, There Is a Porch

There is a cross, there is a porch,
There are the eyes that full of care,
I say there is no God in church,
I say that people bring Him there.

I'D Like To Catch the Rainbow Tail

I'd like to catch the rainbow tail,
But hope is nothing for the reason
And graveyard's full of dreams (they fail)
And wonders are there like in prison.

Angels now are having horns and tail,
Gloomy demons smoke aside in silence,
Pity, hands of kindness are so frail,
But they’re rather long for any violence.

Premium Member Religiously Iconoclastic

The iconoclast with great sarcasm,
tries to hurl the church into a chasm.
Pharisee of courts —
belching out retorts!
His religion of enthusiasm.

Sarcasm

Sarcasm, a knife 
that slices 

my hope and self worth 
into indistinguishable pieces of waste
lying around my feet. 

Is it mine 
or did you throw it at me?

Last Night You Were Riding the Wave

You choose: to be drowned to be burnt to be cut, 
Last night you were riding the wave, 
But rover from nowhere is taking her heart 
despite you are loyal and safe.

Fully Inclusive

The beauty 
Of being fully inclusive 
Is that nothing 
Can possibly offend you.

I have a dog like that….

Premium Member In Rememberance Of

Arrogance, sarcasm and suggestive wit,
Some people in this world I admit,
Think is so cool and fun,
But actually in the long run,
One day they go too far, and have to quit.

So Where Does Freedom Sleep

So where does freedom sleep in dirty shoes 
spoiling the sheets and drooling on the pillow, 
Procrustean bed that silly people choose 
and breast of its I notice doesn't billow.

Premium Member A poetry war

A competitive poet with ego galore
is always "one upping" to even some score.
They disguise their sarcasm in metaphors.
Most of the time I politely ignore as
no one needs a poetry war.

Premium Member Fire Extinguisher Needed




There are traits good romances require.
Two of them aren’t sarcasm and ire.
   Bobby’s temper’s the worst.
   Each relationship’s cursed.
Who’ll be burned in his next dumpster fire?

"It's a bird crossing the full moon, you twit".
     My dog just stared and said, "no sh*t".
"Sarcasm does not, a dog, befit", 
     He said, "I thought that they would hit".

Cyber Speak

Can you hear the tone of my voice?
Do my flat written words animate on your screen?
Can you discern my mood,
distinguish between raw truth
and sarcasm?

I am but a silent envelope on your toolbar.

Premium Member Biting Silences

Bitter silences
Biting your lip
A rage wanting to surface
Ready to erupt
Looks that judge harshly
Laced with sarcasm
Will leave no room
For explanation
Or forgiveness

Between the Legs of Dogma

The artistry of the dogmatic
Lies upon the breaths that are bated
Unwanted sarcasm tossed
Though often musters hostility

And the branches arc
With each split decision
Affirms the logic
Behind each laceration

eye roll

even less effective
yelling
They do not notice; they hear it at home

Premium Member Seen and Heard

They’re seen, all three sons; aren’t they cute.     (sarcasm)
All heard, and not far from the root.
     These boys, toothless feasts.
     Fangs of wild-eyed beasts.
Just watch, here comes dad; see the boot.
