Unsharpened Poems | Examples


I Have No Idea's

i have no idea's for this next poem
i'm just going to write this to see where it's going 
but it won't go anywhere because i have no idea's 
so i'm going to end this poem here see ya

I'm just kidding it's not ending there
making a poem that short is something i can't bear
but guess what i don't care.

but really i do 
why else would i write these poems i do.

but that was back when my ideas were good 
now there just stupid or misunderstood

how about neither or how about both 
i just keep on typing 
this poem without a point it's like and unsharpened pencil or something like that.
i think i'll end this poem here
so what do you think about that.

Love’s Pawnshop
         by Odin Roark

Unable to pay the debt
Love is often pawned
Sympathy as a claim check
Stuffed deep in pockets of suffering

Such self-deprecation roams the streets
Perplexed with using the tender
As peace offering to the beloved
A gesture risking resentment
Nothing conducive to healing 

Perhaps better spent on survival-type passion
Allusion’s princely blind beggar with pencils
Rewards for the coin-drop sound in the cup
Solicitude’s offering without expectation
Without questionable agenda

Such is the giving spirit
Often in trouble
Never without company
Welcoming emotion’s exchange
Leaving behind longing’s conundrum
To examine itself truly naked

Sincerity’s immunity
Impervious to manipulation
Or desire’s self-deceit
Once the reward
Now but a cast-aside
 A melting of chicanery’s
Falsity of spirit

Later

Amidst midnight shadows
A lowly pawn ticket of imagination
Embraces the enigmatic unsharpened pencil

They rest side by side
Atop life’s universal shelter
Where loveless anxiety takes cover
Awaiting another day
Perhaps THE day
When needs will find
Love’s pawnshop ready
To teach them as well

Precious lessons

Somewhere

Out there

Inner Essence

My fangs 
Can explain 
The nature of my being 
Better then any name 
Unsharpened 
So as of to heighten 
The pleasure in their meaning 
Merciless 
Relentless 
There is no point in screaming 
Your mind I’ll break 
Your soul I’ll take 
The body left for carrion 
Except the eyes 
I’ll save for my collection 


for my love p.d. who has teh only eyes worth keeping. and the only body worth ravishing. and the only soul worth feeling.

Untitled #40 / a Pair of Spectacles

A pair of spectacles
an unsharpened pencil
an eraser, pink, shaped like Tennessee
Which of these is truth?
Answer quickly or fall to hell!
