What the World Needs Now Is

A panacea on warfare,
Eradication of hatred,
Obliteration of terrorism,

And then, Love Sweet Love.

Premium Member Broom Warfare

These walls conceal an ugly war
Kitty litter raids my floor
This tidy home I'm sworn to keep
A rugged broom's a tiresome sweep
Three cats are such a chore

From Air a Scientists Extract Alcohol

From air a scientists  extract alcohol
For Russians an excellent type of warfare
We will to drink until die out all,
But so enemies will die of lack of air

Horny Games

World becomes the hell
Rulers when cultivate greed
Hate begets revenge
Warfare body lives on blood
Deaths are politician's game

Premium Member what are you studying

What are you studying? I asked two co-eds.
One is getting a masters in tissue removal.
The other is getting a bachelor’s degree in pillowcase warfare.
Raising a whole new slew of questions.

Digital Warfare

Smoldering diadems
unwrap our parliament.
Superstitious super-intelligence
composing the lost years ironed to death,
crisp,
and smooth,
yet still dead.

The world is ending,
yet I can only think of you.

Maritime Warfare

Gray ships
Docks and ports

Palm trees 
And mangoes

Fresh breeze
Wide relief


A night on shore
Red lips, hot breath

Oh, no
Baby wails

Woman sits on golden land
Bundle in hand

Agony
The choice.

A Reflection On Spiritual Warfare

Arm yourself!...

Put on the armor of compassion...

Put on the armor of understanding...

Put on the armor of forgiveness...

Put on the armor of gratitude....

Lord Jesus, dress me in Your armor today. Amen

What Is Life For Me In a Few Words

Life,
natural biological warfare...
 Every day is born
the best and the worst,
this is normal...
life, one eternity
friendship, we desire
or not...
In the fight for life,
I'm a poet...
ego, alter,
not exactly me... !

John Hancock

Fringed by putrescent dusk
Fingernails dig beneath graveyard wounds
Fostered by lexical warfare
Within the harrowing fiascos of tomorrow
Nothing but bated memories
Braided by skin, coffee, and cigarettes
Branded by concrete whispers

Gaming

Gaming (acrostic)

Give me that controller, I command with a shout
After this game and don't be a lout
Modern Warfare my dad adores
I know what I like, it's Halo 4
New games and new tactics we must learn swiftly
Gaming's the best on Xbox 360

A Few Words

A few words
 
Absence 
Is not a peace
It is possibilities
Wasted 


For the old
The stillness holds no peace
Only an echo of the undone 


Peace is not an absence of war 
Warfare is mechanical 
A battle is the one we fight
With our demons.

Love's, Winter Soldiers

Gathering by her western gates: jovial....
Their babies while arriving; this sought after
Day and desperation beginning to show his face     
Biospiritual warfare namby-pamby's, pass waterloo ?
Jupiter's, rising swift the pendulum time's guillotine: delta.

Triolet:Fix Bayonets

Fix bayonets to fight the foe,
Over the 'top' to sound of shell.
Village men of Fingeringhoe
Fix bayonets to fight the foe.
Fighting for King and country lo!
Trench warfare sure is swell
Fix bayonets to fight the foe
Over the 'top' to sound of shell.

Casualty of a Chemical Warfare

They found him outside the hospital,
Conveniently.

How he managed to get there
All his brain was blown away now,

There he stood in the emergency room
Pronouncing simply and forevermore 'Uh.'

The heart wrenching lament of
A defeated weekend warrior.

Premium Member Letters From the Front

We are in Day One of the occupation, having survived the first night; however, in a surprise attack, they employed biological warfare and the defenses are at reduced fighting capacity. Pray for clear skies so we can we wear down their assault capability outside this afternoon!

Kill Machine

This is America. 
We kill everybody equally.
So do the Neo Soviets.
So do the English.
So do the Chinese.
So do the Muslim extremists.
So do the...
On and no it goes.
A meat grinder of death.
More fresh kills are needed.
Feed the death machine.
It's ravenously hungry...

Premium Member Ghostly Malvern Manor

ghostly Malvern Manor
haunting southwestern Iowa
growling in her attic
harsh warnings to psychic visitors
no bodily harm yet that I know of
definite psychological warfare
a few have run out screaming
others notice nothing at all
resolved to ignore the possibility of ghosts

Monogary

MANOGARY
Low is the road most traveled
Treachery and chicanery 
There is no dirty pool in a back alley brawl
Or guerrilla warfare
Or war at all.
Or love for that matter.
Matter of fact.

We all suffer somehow
All pride must eventually fall.
You get for what you have asked.

Premium Member Oval room antics, and dubious semantics'

An almost dwarf from ukraine'
Who is real fond of warfare and gain
Got to the 'white house to barter'
Yet ended up starters
For calling; out' unsavoury names'

He then went to starmer'
another no charmer'
Causing Britian, much 
anger and shame'
I hear daily its people complain!

The Puzzle Poem

My dulciana
Agonised me again,
But the ballerina
Floored as I'd never been.
Warfare can not euphemize
With tiger reverberation;
We always decimalize
For vicinal desiccation!
Is a unifoliate unproductive
Or nonradioactive?
