Post your poems
They can be any genre or mood, don’t plagiarize, don’t be inappropriate or weird,
And yeah.
I’m bored

Here’s a poem I’ve already posted, but just to get things rolling, here it is:

Microwaved Bacon

Let’s see what I’ll be eatin’.
I grab some food to get nuked.
Some Hiroshima bacon,
And some Nagasaki soup

They say it comes from pigs.
Some grade apparent pork.
Lobster, puréed figs,
At the finest diner in New York

I turn it on and pop it in.
I set the timer and sit down.
I hear the hum begin,
As I take a look around

Clockwise goes the radio knob.
Grab the paper from outside.
I get a call from my job.
I say I’m sick. (I lied).

Somethin’ chirps and beeps,
as I walk to the machine.
Pull out the radioactive heap,
As the air is filled with toxic steam.

A plastic spoon from the cupboard.
A strange smelling styrofoam bowl.
The artificial umbilical cord,
That sustains me in this hole.

It doesn’t taste like bacon.
It’s just your thrice daily pill.
All that my microwave’s makin’,
And I eat till I get my fill.

I’ll take my meager rations.
It’s all that I can get.
There’s not much that I’m askin’.
Just that my needs are gettin’ met.

Someday I’ll climb outta this.
Cut my life providing line.
There’s not a thing that I will miss.
Where can I get some genuine swine?

First thing I’ll do is buy some pig.
I won’t let a second go to waste.
Cook it quick and in I dig.
And I won’t need to dream how bacon tastes.

I look to the skies
And am pleased to with my eyes
When they search above the ground
Among the ghostly clouds,
Dressed in the navy suit of night,
See a star in November light.

I must’ve blinked,
The star has winked
It must have moved.
Pleasant thoughts have since removed.
My eyes don’t lie,
It was all an airplane in the sky.

And my mind returns to the sun-bleached day
When a large white bird had flown astray.
My eyes were baffled by the new,
Fresh sight that seemed so untrue.

And so it was what my thoughts had seen,
A weed of man between the green.
Nothing that fluttered until we sinned,
A plastic bag lost in the wind.

My Feet

Here I lie awake at night
As much as to myself
That everything will turn out all right in the end.
But I know it won’t

My lifestyle is one without exit signs.
And I’ve looked everywhere but down.
But it’s hard not to focus on your feet,
When your mind has burdened the responsibility of searching upon them.

So now, I walk.
I’m tired of lying, lying down.
And I walk because I must stand for a comforting truth,
As each step fades into the next:
That this moment will soon melt to memory.
And it’ll all get better when I’m looking back.
At least,
I hope so.

I guess we’ll see,
In the newest version of myself,
Whether or not the weight of this moment’s memory
Will prove too much for my feet to bear.

Leaves

The rain cascades to a roar on the roof.
Static. Silence’s stooge.
Your eyes speak of nothing,
Your ears watch intently,
And your mind feels the rhythm of the passing deluge.

The streaks on the
The fading fog on the sill.
Perfection, summed in one melting moment.
As the damp wind stops still.

Your conscience is cold against the thought.
The languishing leaves lying with your guilt.
Lying in the place that the breeze forgot.
Brown paper and sickness on reality’s quilt.


The leaves stir.
And your thoughts move on.

Here’s a little lesson in trickery
This is going down in history
If you wanna be a villain number one
You have to chase a superhero on the run
Just follow my rules and sneak around
Be careful not to make a sound……..
Why u doing!!!!

That’s not rhyming

That’s repetition!

Also if Chickens Are Cute sees this it may sow disturbance among all the chicken people! And we wouldn’t want that?
Would we.
