She lay in his arms
listening to his heart
knowing forever
they’d never part
Not time nor death
will destroy their love
souls now synced
below and above
Rhythms do flow
hearts become one
now so connected
and won’t be undone
She feels him deep
he feels her more
a cosmic slam dunk
the perfect score
tethered forever
throughout all of time
bodies in tune
with poetry & rhyme.
Although I'm in a grim never ending funk,
Rising like the Phoenix will be a slam dunk.
I want to free myself of the sadness,
Rise above all the noise and the madness.
My goal is soar above the galaxy and stars,
no longer a prisoner behind invisible bars.
If I don't shake off this profound abyss,
I will in turn forfeit a life of pure bliss.
Mickey ran and jumped and made a slam-dunk
Minnie Mouse, Donald, and Daisy Duck cheer
Double dribbling on Pepé Le Pew the skunk
He lost the ball to other team was clear
Minnie Mouse, Donald, and Daisy Duck cheer
Mickey dribbling fast put it through his legs
He lost the ball to other team was clear
In hushed prayer he kneels on his forelegs
Mickey dribbling fast put it through his legs
Double dribbling on Pepé Le Pew the skunk
In hush prayer he kneels on his forelegs
Mickey ran and jumped and made a slam-dunk

Form: Vertical Monocrostic
Does anyone have the slightest clue ?
Exactly what the hell is going on ?
And if you do ?
Can you please lend me some money ?
Because i have a ton of bills to pay
And i am self-employed
So no work ,
No pay
And i'm not even sick ?
Unless you count ?
Totally and utterly
Sick to death of all of this
I thought i had seen everything before
I thought i knew the world before
But now i am not so sure
There once was a poetry called SLAM
Driven to the depths and damned
Is it akin to converse
This SLAM, or is it Verse
Frankly my dear, "I don't give a damn"

I suppose that I'll never understand
Why one would pen slam for foe or friend
If writing slam is one's bent
Be gracious in how you vent
It may come back to bite you in the end
