Dinner Disaster

Skewed steak in my clutch
A spicy morsel too much
Loosing sense of touch

Limerick For Sullivan

I paced as the coffee brewed
To one spot Sully stayed glued
"Dad where is my mom?"
She was held in Guam
Because her pug nose was skewed
fun

Listen to poem:
tilted over
skewered, impaled,
screwed senseless,
stewed to pulp.
Cheers to the blues, folks
here's to 
tomorrow's 
feud feast

It’s effect designed to confuse
Politics is clearly a ruse
With culture this skewed  
Truths appear to be rude
And those who won’t lie always lose

A Skewed Perspective, Thoughts On Joe Mavericks Spectacles

Facts we look upon,
And the apparent truth we observe,
Depend upon forgone,
Opinion that we reserve,
And is perhaps not what’s deserved.

     The balance is skewed
     well beyond a friendly thumb
     count me out for now

Guaranteed Money Back...

Stuck.  Glued.  Skewed.
devoted to devotion
dedicated to dancing
on a string

threw away the safety net
to take the chance on
just
once
more

give me a reason
to be here

Time Folds

Time folds inwards,
like paper cranes in cosmic flight.
Time folds inwards—
a twist of clocks in glass-bound wards,
its orbit skewed by quantum might.
We dream in loops by neon light—
Time folds inwards.

Premium Member Our Life Our Choice

Skewed consciousness 
Vacillating attention
Stuporous awareness
Enmeshed in stagnation 

Divine entwined expansion 
Synced to conscience’s voice
Or ego enmeshed contraction 
Two paths: Our life our choice
Form: Rhyme

Procrastination

I will do it tomorrow,
For I am in no mood;
Would rather prefer to brood.
Who wants to act, 
Avoiding work needs tact;
But time doesn't adhere to the pact, 
I end up being screwed,
For holding a view that was skewed.

Premium Member Moon above crooked pumpkins

The artistic viewpoint
Slightly skewed
Somewhat short
Just past the “two’s”
Water colors
On a white fridge
A bit a-kilter
Pumpkin heads
A blur of witches
‘Gainst the moon
O’er dripping leaves
‘Neath artist’s eyes

Facial Twitches

On his face is the smirk
     of a tired barn owl,

like a ***** cross between
     a frown and a scowl;

most expressive is the skewed
     side of his mouth

that's now sliding down a few
     pissed degrees south!

The Great Abyss

Things are all around
I start slipping down and down
World is still spinning...

Falling down the pit.
Every time I get the slip.
No light in sight here.

The great abyss sits
Before me, a gaping hole.
My life flashes now.

Skewed Views

Some say you're arrogant.
You say simply confident.


They say you're hard-headed.
You tell them just opinionated.


To some you're uncommitted.
To you merely open-minded.


Differences in points of view
skewed as viewed by them and you!

The Fight

Fight
back your
perception 
of self.  It is 
tainted.  Skewed by words
muttered by those who "know"
you.  Implied by media.
Look deep, the soul contains your strength
We are born with a sacred nature.
Embrace this struggle to find your true self.

Premium Member Skewed Senses Huitain

Together watching the sunset
the sultry shade mirrors my mood;
Paint a moment you can't forget
and add a 'To be continued';
Shouting at me yet so subdued
your whisper's the loudest music;
My senses always become skewed,
the sweet scent of love and magick.

covered the ground with his frozen pee-
This rumor spread by Rudolph
skewed Santa's sleigh, then took off.

Last Chance

The interchange
of reluctance
waiting in the queue

Permission caught
in temporal probate
affirmation skewed

One last chance
unbegotten freedom
living in between

The will to choose
 nothing left to lose
— as red lights turn to green

My Lost Mind

My listless thoughts are entirely detached 
My mind unable to fully equate
These feelings completely skewed and mismatched
Emotions flee my mind then dissipate
The brain concedes to devil incarnate

Yielding to a distant watching member 
Recalling a past I can't remember.

Everybody's a Critic

No matter what you’re trying to say,
be it in your poetry or song.
There’s still going to be an expert,
who’ll tell you that you’re doing it wrong.

I think maybe there is something skewed,
going on in their philosophy.
I wonder what makes them the expert,
on what my poetry means to me.

Premium Member Mirror On Reflection

I caught a ghostlike glimpse,
of steel breath on blunt mirror,
as my taut brain mulled scars,
from fractal bleak life motif,
zooming across skewed glass,
reflections glum and forlorn,
black ink eye ring capture,
shadow, shade, or shield,
brittle convex, abject cog,
whoa, my frail image riven

Premium Member SKEWED HUMAN NATURE

Kids screaming with joy,
toy guns fired at each other.
gifts from their parents:-

Teenagers shooting,
taking theirs' and others' lives;
firing parent’s gun:-

AI shooting games,
children joyfully playing;
parents happy:-

Murdering should not
be a gameplay for kids; let’s
check human nature:-

Premium Member Silent Scream

I strive to vanquish transparent
colors staining your true essence.
Your mood is false skewed, running loose,
and our known love is fiction trapped.
My heart insists you must come back.
I wish to leave you, or stay you,
slaying themes you now live each day.
Love now holds my loud, silent scream.
