badmusace:

Erm..where is my dictionary? Sacrifice Dryad's shelter, so humans can enjoy Christmas

Heheheheheheh. You need no dictionary for this na. (I think )
This is what dryad pass through every Christmas, it misses one of its very own.

Jodekss: muaaaah... I love diss

Thanks. I so much love yours too. walker was the reason I do sit my asssss down for Fast and Furious. I think the name of your be should be "The Unknown Path" (its just my suggestion cuz I too suck in naming poems)

badmusace: AT THE END OF A YEAR
Our own version of winter:
The morning fog afflicts us with
temporary myopia;
The early cold continually snoozes
our alarms.

Hence, more childbirth in September.
The car zooms past us,
leaving behind
a mushroom of dust,
which find homes on
thirsty leaves and naked roofs.

Wrinkled lips like dried tree barks;
In between fingers and toes,
‘white’ strategically hides.
Sometimes giving the illusion of
a hastily powdered skin.

Skit:
On TV,
a kid wails in betwixt laps
of a grinning-rotund-black-white-bearded-man
in loose fitted red and hat of same.

Wasteful spending begins:
My neighbour has starved
all through the year, to fatten her purse.
Only to empty its contents on stocks,
needed and unneeded, to be
demolished in two hurried gobbles!
Every other year, she passes this same
old torch to her 'old-new' self.

Quick ascension period on the financial scale and all other weighted ills:
Birthing houses scythed for day old young;
The road lies in wait with an appetite larger than ever,
Twisted metals and shards of jagged glass smeared scarlet
are remnants from its daily meal,
Still beings void of organs
flank our roads;
All forms of nappers device new means
and revise old means for capture;
Our own forceful and erratic aurora borealis,
with showers of debris and disjointed beings,
casts a gloomy shade all over.

Why this sudden change?

‘Season Greetings.’

Now it all makes sense.

Guy you bad oooo. This piece is very real. It depicts our very own Christmas season.
Damn! I miss Father Christmas

timpaker:
The young trees weren't agog with winter snow
As the leaves chose to wither than grow
Wafting gently autumnal crocus to the frozen ground
While the night birds carols in sonorous sound

Yet it is garbed in prismatic glimmering ice
All over the street it dazzles the eyes
Of Dryad, then it heard the bell breaking the ambience
As if the wind was arguing with silence

Then the sound lead to another, then another -
A cacophony deafened the air and shakened the order
A man with a chainsaw needs a Christmas tree
He sawed off the root and fissured it with glee

A young lad - a sentry was stationed by the way
He held his own star, lights and candies in a manner somewhat gay
"Careful dad!" As the tree succumbed its teary droplets on dad
Before making a fall that made Dryad sad

But its Christmas isn't it?

yes it is. Too bad for dryad.

I just looked up who or what a dryad is, and now i understand the poem better.

Silly me...lol

[b]As the sky washes off the dark
Cloud of yesterday just after the c0ck crowed
I woke up from my sleep with her by my side
Smiling just like the angel i dreamt about
Who converted my dreams from
The debris of floating bubbles to solid rocks -
And she look just like her!

While i stare and trance in those hypnotic eyes
Basking on the dream i had had,
A velvety touch brought me back to being
I felt it cuddling my goatee and my bushy eyebrow
And then it stopped...
I saw her unfolding a piece of paper

"Good morning love" then she read to me a poem
With a voice similar to that of Apollo's
saying "To whom my heart belongs to
A seamless lover who tickles my soul
Rise to the day...another best day ever to be
I've blessed your day with my kiss
And my smiles are there to guide you
To overcome your fears
And defeat your stress
Rise up love its Tuesday"

My face was stained with glowing smiles
As i saw my reflection on her face
But then I felt a b0ner down below;
She rose up and poured colourful roses on the floor
Which stretched from the bedroom to the bathroom
And the sun quietly peep with glee

I rose up to hug her tightly
To kiss and put my fingers through her hair
With just a step on the wet roses
My alarm went off
Its 11:54AM

Re: One Poem For The Road by badmusace(m): 9:33am On Dec 17, 2013

POEM: CHANGING SEASONS

In cold:
Enfolded in chrysalides of flesh and wool;
Encircling exiguous flames of burning ember.
From chattered teeth escapes nostalgic tales of heat.

In heat:
Colourful, 'naked' and bright, in fluttered search
For petals of sandy shore to perch or
Reviving sparse nectar to suck.
Drizzles of sweat and smelly armpits pray the sun to cool.

The circle is ever unending.

THE ANGELS WORKS...

In every situation none's alone
Every one of us has guardian angels that observes
Us

We are here to have plights
And to keep on solving 'em one by one
Till we can't anymore.

But in the processes at times
We lose hope but archs won't.

First poem I wrote ds year! Happy new year guys!!!!!

POEM: BY THE RIVERSIDE
Come let's sit by the riverside
On twin stone seats placed
By nature for our behinds

The troublesome winds roughly
ruffles the trees the trees whisper
in pain to the birds the birds reply
with song to soothe their ears
On the wind's back the birds
later will ride but the trees
in their clutches still will
be a haven for its nest
Toss across the river's wrinkled
face a polished pebble and watch
the gyres growing on each spot it
bounces even long after it sinks
How long will our ripples last
when we lie under?
Will it be strong enough to
change the course of the river?

The East throws up the rising sun
And the West swallows it whole
And thus another day is gone

Deep in thought - I lost my Thoughts
Who art thou?; Thoughts made me pout
I knew I came in sad along,
Just now Hap'nex 2 me Belong.

I knew u do these, fairly well
Those smiles on my cheek, my mouth cant tell
How come I came to loving it?
I bet I ought'be criticing this.

A 2nd look, I cant help take
A look at profile, was All it took
I knew u're so real to be fake
I wished my Wish, dont ask me please

Long ago, I dare not write
Though for poems, I wont mind fight
These lines of mine, so rada cheap
These thoughts of mine - much rada fake

4 once, U're a gem - I dare confess
So gud u write, i can attest
But some of ur post: I'd critisize
Whu cares?, Challenge with Mass Arrest.

I rest my case ma'am... Love ur piece, but you got to keep getting beta at doing dat which u love doing most. #TeamPrincesa! - Most wud yell. grin

My First NL Poem was composed yesterday, b4 stumbling on this, this mawning... I had thought I'd write no more, but I've got to change those thoughts.

POEM: AFTERLIFE

Beneath the earth or above sky
Where will my life beyond tiled bed lie?

Fire fire burning bright,
Within confines of heathen’s sight;
What concrete ice or quenching sea,
Could snuff out thy fickle tongued fury?

Tongues which eternally licks flesh uncharred
With its corresponding sensation unbarred;
Chthonic flames which forever blossoms
Where the above thorns, that choke, find their homes.

White and gold above the sky outlines
Sounds of brass by beings in white
Vocal strings strung in perfect melody
Worship chants in unfaulted harmony
As opposed to nether pain induced shrills of discordance
Earthly saints, in this abode, rewarded at long last.

Within smoky bars and heated brothels
I hear the lost ones with tainted lips say:
The monotony above is hell itself,
Heaven for we lies below
Where men of jesty spirits dwell.

The freeones believe in none:
Life begins and ends here
After death is oblivion.

When my earthly clock stops to tick
Whatever it may, this is all I pick:
Peace
over
suffering.

Down somewhere or up somewhere so sure of it
Stealthily peepin' at us with his record books markin' us as we get his scripts wrong and right... --#jodekss.[/b]

DOLL'S EYES.

...and to the houses of the witches with
The tidings of your blessings
In the waggons of the schadenfreudes
With the best healings
To be given to your good illness
They'll bliss your good news
Wit doll's eyes.

Love thy-selves dearly.http://www.poetfreak.com/277205/dolls-eyes.html
