Soporifics Poems | Examples


Ode To Nyc

I want to see the clash of the classes

The dichotomy between the debutantes and the downtrodden 

wallow in the welfare 
 scream at those who don't care

soak up society
 revel in the rivalry

 step on the suited 
 smile at the smart

 vilify the antagonists 
 snore at the soporifics

 bleed in the gutter
 be saved by another

 turn out the lights
 smile at the night

 experience the extremes
of a midnight's dream

Midnight Typhoon

Spring tide
pounding against
a rocky relationship

between the
new moon and
earth’s pie in the sky.

On an island
of one’s own making
in the mind —

like a whirlpool
when imagination
slips away

on a one-way
ticket to disaster —
no peace to find.

Stonewalling
rest with stress
and anxiety.

No sleep
on a tidal bore
without soporifics

in a
midnight typhoon
pawning fantasy.
