http://www.poetfreak.com/text/256350/why.html Even Lazarus leaked his sores while hungry But just beside him was that crown jugging many meat Do the sick exist to strenghten the strong? Oh heaven, why did you dress this world unequally...! Why must I come to this sunny world When the sun is always vacant? Why? |

Crying the sorrows out of my heart Thought of grandma asleep in the freezer She is gone, to her maker above Nearer she seem in this fish belly Where I'm seated - as the air-shark Swam the sky, I almost opened the Window foiling me from holding heaven's tail Form of poetry: Kwansaba 7 lines with 7 words per line and no word has more than 7 letters |

princesa: where do you pull out all this forms of poetry from hehehehehehhe  . Even me no know i swear. But you can look it up on the internet  KWANSABA: The Kwansaba is a non-rhyming form that consists of seven lines of seven words per line and each word can not include more than seven letters unless it's a proper noun. It's based on Kwanzaa, the African American holiday that celebrates seven principles. http://popularpoetryforms..com/2013/02/kwansaba.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ogre_Art/Kwansaba |

Their honks were like buzzes From a desperate housefly; Streams of smoke blurred the air As the metallic insects cued up On the road beaming the light of the night Like a trapped lampyridae in a race-field Its moves in snail-pace Overtaking the unfortunate scraps With broken eyes and disfigured body Again, the honk increases Like a trumpet from an elephant nostril There came a monstrous millipede Pregnant with commotion It cuddled up few insects with one squeeze.... BANG!!!!! PS: Road traffic too much for here (one poem for the road). 2 Likes |

25 dozen days save five Did I start this journey Down this old familiar road Everyone takes a bumpy road Just different streets and avenues Some come at a cross-road And breakdown never to rise Others reach a close And never turn back Some others carry a dagger along Stabbing every demon that dares them. I heard the myth at every crossover The stories about the dead The ones that were crushed Even the ones that slept into death Haa...did u see some drop from the sky? Showers of metallic death! I live to hear and tell the familiar story. Glory be to him who glory belongs to. I knew I was to pass through fire As gold passeth through fire 12 gates stood ahead of me I had to wield the dagger of faith And break down every gate. This was no playstation game It was my life! The eleventh gate have I crushed I bursted through it like a mad prophet Only to genuflect before the great I am To be with me as I walk pass The twelveth gate of hell... A happy month to you See you at the end of the gate where we shall cross-over. 4 Likes |
