Storming Poems | Examples

H2O

I'm more watery than women
under the skin
altho' my body's composed
of 6 chemical elements within
and all that remains
to go with the flow
is approx. 60% H2O
and the gravity of the situation maintains
if I stand
on my head or hands
or do cartwheels
(head under heels)
(tho' I prob'ly shouldn't oughta)
on the cranium I'll have water
(hydrocephalus)
then again who knows
how else would I experience
some of those
cerebrum faves
alpha beta delta theta
brain-storming waves

Premium MemberCOVID brain storming

I can’t sleep because I can’t breathe 
My mind is bleeding red thoughts so odd
Thoughts like I wish to eat and not get fat
To stop coughing up my blue heart
It occurs to me COVID is the beast
That killed my clairvoyant auntie
And I suddenly realize that
I did not have it harder then her
She battled breast cancer
With chemotherapy and her work laptop
So valuable to her coworkers it was
Nothing for them to email during procedures
So why take her and leave me
It’s not my time it seems
But I am sad she passed
Before shots were available 
So I don’t get to woe is me
But I do wish to see her again 
When it is my time.

Premium MemberStorming Through My Mind

 Thoughts begin swirling, storming through my mind
 and uproots a memory I did not want to find
 and there you are, like yesterday
 As if time had not come out to play

 No chains are ever needed on this mortal coil
 Somehow you imprison me
using my sweat and toil
 I am just your prisoner, yearning to be free

 Soon the storm subsides, but it leaves nostalgic winds
 That keep blowing through my memory
 With all the broken images
 that are haunting me within

 Weeks and months go by, time is never stalling
 I hope my thoughts release me from the din
But as soon as I hear freedom calling....
another storm begins!

Premium MemberA Brain Is Storming

riding on 
  superluminal rafts
the supernatural rapscallions
  descend with
delirious determination  
  into
deceptive diversion
 observing
too many indeterminists
  doing nothing
  with too much time
     on their antennae
 
it's inevitable: 
derived from suffering
 in a brain's
  stormy potential  
 where an abandoned 
shopping cart
transmits
hapless holons
 in a stationary orbit 
 above the bucolic
  neighborhood 

I defiantly deconstruct
  the illusion
of immortality 
  while
 cobwebs
 engulf balconies
   and coffins
    excrete spiders

I/he
  drowned
in the same
 river twice  
after being assured
  that no man is
a tropical island
 in a lost paradise
where the Jovian moons 
  don't shine
 
...so he/I
sputtered & sibilated
in an 
empty frame of
 rambling

Premium MemberStorming Off: Minute 1

I often wonder if she knows
Which way she goes
Before she starts
The path she charts

And is it really all a front?
Not to be blunt
Putting on airs
Like we should care

But then sometimes, she adds a twist
Like a clenched fist
A bitter kiss
I’d rather miss

Storming the Walls

Within this structure,
my words remain
Each line a fortress,
as thoughts refrain

The ramparts solid,
its moat retracts
All quivers loaded,
as doubt attacks

The enemy constant,
assault on fire
What darkness births,
one phrase retires

The battle spoken
upon the wind
My legend written
—still safe within

Premium MemberStorming the Bastille 2021

A tale of morality, behold the truth, I’m so important 
  Doing the right thing, this liar brings out discordance
     Whatever it takes, expedience, just get the job done 
  Top guns instruction, when elections need to be won

     March up to Capitol, don’t want you singing psalms 
  Rule book’s out the window, remember have no qualms 
     Compass changes direction, preempting deadly quarrel
  Thin blue line fails morality, no perhaps he’s just amoral.

My mom has surgery this afternoon, a hysterectomy, to remove cancer. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you!

He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”        Mark 5:34

STORMING THE ROCK

such lonely life in the dumplings,
clingstone as a cancerous mass —
robotic fingers
like a precise hurricane
must excise, smooth out, set straight

From wikipedia: Clingstone is a house built in 1905, perched atop a small, rocky island in an island group called "The Dumplings" in Narragansett Bay, near Jamestown, Rhode Island. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clingstone

The old people crew hastens to bathroom
even if earthquake or hurricane looms.
     It’s their mission’s caper
     to waste the most paper.
After relief, activities resume.

Premium MemberStorming Mind-

Sometimes it rains;
Inside your mind;
Uncertain realms entwined;
When's moving blind;
Opened  visions;
Lost provisions gained;
As it yet stills rains in my mind
