Premium Member Tattoo Deportation Poetry Contest
A tattoo that may have been from youth Could be of a religious reference too How horrific it would feel you would be blue Torn from your life family country rights refused Some may accuse you of being in a gang Yet KKK and Proud Boys are the very same Not any of them are arrested put in chains Double standards are...

Premium Member The Butterfly
On her front and back pair of wings are found many a natural tattoo like inkblots, they form perfect mirror images, that you love to view Her lifting of wings in a figure-eight pattern, our spirits it does renew Trying to please the onlookers, she forgets the pains she goes through ...

Tattoo Deportation- Inked in Chains
The sound of wheels on tarmac Keeps me focused Keeps me grounded Keeps me present The sound of wheels on tarmac Takes me farther and farther away From everything I have ever known Chained up like a worthless dog The sound of wheels on tarmac Reminds me that rebellion Always comes at a price You just have to decide if it’s worth the prize The sound of...

TATTOO DEPORTATION
TATTOO DEPORTATION I’d almost forgotten that damned tattoo A small symbol that years ago, I had got It was a couple of lads, drunk on vacation The tattooist did it in red on my shoulder I’m a bit embarrassed now that I am older Its meaning, I never heard any explanation Just that for a day or two, my skin felt hot It’s...

A Tattoo is Born
Something fell out of my head, a notion perhaps, I think I have birthed a tattoo a tat of a Beef Prime Rib. I like beef not ham. A slim lady had a small butterfly tattooed onto her thigh years went by, she ballooned out, her flimsy butterfly now looks more like a Pterodactyl. My tattoo is now fully formed - clearly, it's a depiction of a ham bone! If...

Premium Member guilty by tattoo
Though opposed by federal court Trump’s sport-like media report Features flights at night With head-shaven blight And the hog-walked men we deport What slave asks for anything more Than a rave in El Salvador? With expenses paid In dirt they’ll get laid While six million bucks pays our whore...

Premium Member spider tattoo on his forehead
He is seventeen Wears his hair long, in a ponytail, it does not look clean. There are piercings in his lip and his ears. He wears a spider tattoo on his forehead. His mother is horrified. His father is having a fit. Both grandmothers laugh at them. Loving their grandson no matter how he looks....

Flowers
When I see a tattoo that's like mine, I know these flowers were right. Right now it looks like it should be an illustration on your body telling a story. If I could tattoo your body with these flowers, I'd know these flowers were right. I'd tattoo your thigh up to your chest, But only on one side. The other side left...

Premium Member we guessed her tattoo would be a coffin
She was not a unicorn pink castle princess girl her attitudes leaned more toward blacks and blues she could find the horribleness in every situation we understood this, but not her reasoning we heard she had a tattoo, guessed it was a coffin or a skull, or burned flesh, something macabre Her tattoo was gorgeous, monarch butterflies nothing we expected, a cousin...

Fighting Fire with Molotovs
Tight stretched skin, not unlike leather parchment Adorned with scars and burns and such carvings Among the colors, red ink's enrichment Envelops a file cabinet's burnings Advice from the mental advisory Suggests that all these thoughts be locked away In filing in forgotten drawery To the night is left burdens of the day Where were they all put, these things once forgot? Within the...

We spent 15 years together and, All I have is this stupid tattoo Wrecking balm can’t remove it 'Cause you inked me thoroughly We didn’t know it’d go there Capturing magic out of thin air I was trouble riding across the border You hid me away in short order Intoxicated with the future We charged out of the...

Like a tattoo
What I long for Is something as Sickenly sweet As people in love. To have that hold On someone where I write them a poem Only for them To make it their Lockscreen, wallpaper Or anything really. They might decide To print it out So they can Stick it in a book Like a little charm Or put it in the cover At the back of their phone. I want to write Someone...
