From a rotund sun-hued idol spill commands both warped and wild
And armies rise from echoes of a tantrum thrown by a child

Premium Member Warping Time

"a stitch in time"
 is but a second gone
 never to return
 sewn in the mind, warped by time
 threads return to yesterday

Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
And there she broke her water

She laid down
Upon the ground
And bore them both a daughter

Warped Soul

In my chemically imbalanced mind,
All I can do is detest.
Wandering my dismal world of the blind,
Anxious of what’ll transpire next.

Not entered in the contest.  Just my warped mind in overdrive!!!


You think she is fierce?
Imagine what it must be
That made her jump in!

Diddle, diddle dumpling, my son John.
Struggles to slide his trousers on;
seems causation hasn’t dawned.
Put down the dumplings, my son John.

Peter, Peter
    pumpkin eater
tried to lick the
    blender beater.
Why he did it,
    I can’t tell, for
he’s not speaking
    very well.

Chassy

Middle age woman from Tallahassee
believed she was something very classy.
Finger rings
Brooches, things
But time had warped her hourglass chassy

warped minds and hatred
the massacre of thousands ~
hells fires awaits them
Form: Senryu

Don't Open It

Portraits from my past
Call from my doorstep
Shall I ignore it?
Eyes of past veterans
Peer blindly from warped boards
I can no longer enter that room

A Better Day

The hours of insanity amaze me,
They tantalize my mind, taunting me, 
Vibrant and violent is my mind,
Warped and no longer prominent,
My  soul aches for a better day.

Pew Phew

There was a bishop whose sermons were boring  
Seven hours long made members begin snoring.  
The bishop took offense
But he had no defense.
Busted bladders had warped all the flooring.
Form: Limerick

Leave Me Alone.......You Don'T Know Me

So you think
My job is beneath me
Only business matters
In your warped minds
Educating little ones
Is where my heart is
 Leave me alone...You don't know me
If you did
Your opinions would not be voiced
Form:

Dull

My
life
benign
so boring
nothing special now
I search in vain for excitement
I am trapped in a frustrating circle of the chase
I feverishly hunt my prey but my treasure always ends up being warped some how

Garden Archways

Of a foaminess hung
Rose-round, odorous
Or what, ivy-musty, a sturdy
Held up ruin pose as
No grander is one led
Nor quite as gracious
Up paths, though rough, to doors, though warped
Than neath one's bricked mass.
Form: Rhyme

Silent say so

The drum roll
beats out control
in a game
of warped reframe.
On a coiling balustrade
plays meister masquerade
to craft the will
at bellowed drill.
Docile rule
disarms to fool.
With artful ruse
the vapid lose.

Premium Member Emptiness

Crumbling colonnades, ivy laced,
fronting fractured windows, ghost faced,
where once a family was housed.
Warped in time like a web,
forgotten picture of the dead
who here used to love, laugh, and live.

High on Life

High on life
I was high on life
Not walking on water
But soaring above the clouds
Free from the rain
Immune to the darkness
Now I settle in the depths
Gazing up at the warped sunshine
Turbulent waters
Was this where I was before?

Lost In The Rubicon

Looking back
speed is warped
looking forward 
it slows
Each memory
a racehorse
that goes
and it goes

Intuition 
the truant
in what it
will bring
When time
is reversed
and the Jester
— is King

Premium Member twisted warped nutcracker

this nutcracker is twisted, warped, there is something wrong
he does not know he’s not supposed to kick up in this throng
his feet are supposed to be stationary, his ways are not right.
This dancing, twirling and kicking give the others a fright.
Form: Couplet

Deplorable Visions

As much to this haze of summer
To a many headed wooer
For young budding, more fair
Lost her, this youth; of nine.

As far strayed, in my warped thinking
As distant, the 'field, too playing'
One, mists of time, back through
Of me, loses the view.

Premium Member Dancing in the Rain

"Dancing in the rain is how we turn heartache into art."- unknown

Premium Member I Trusted You

You twisted
All I said
Exaggerated
And warped my words

I trusted you
Didn’t think
You capable

Stabbed me in the back
Why would you
I trusted you

Let my guards down
Believed in you
I trusted you

Echo

ECHO

I hear an echo, 
A sound so close
And yet so far.
It comes from
Everywhere and yet
It is nowhere.
Maybe I’m imagining
It in my warped
And twisted head.
Maybe I cease to be
And I become just
A sound, one so remote
I’m a million miles away.
