Poetry Game, Anyone?

in the flash-and-strike bite
of a dust-brown serpent
lying in the road
is a poison less potent
than the honeyed venom
contained in the voice
of an ex-best-friend.

next word: pirate

Hi ho
Shiver me timbre
Grrr Grrr Grrr


next word: pirate

AVAST ME MATEY?
YOU'RE DRINKING LATE.
WHAT'S IN YOUR HAND,
MY PIECE OF EIGHT?
I'LL SEE YOU WALK
THE PLANK AT DAWN.
SHIVER ME TIMBERS,
YOU'LL DROWN AND BE GONE.
YOU'RE A SCALLYWAY,
AYE, THAT YOU ARRRRRRRR.
I'LL TAKE MY DOUBLOON NOW
AND GO TO THE BARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!


NEXT WORD: TREASURE

Meng Zhen Zhen they called me,
My little treasure.
But when I spoke Chinese
No one felt pleasure.

Ni hao ma, Bu hao
Is all I recall.
But in the characters I can still scribble
I see the greatest treasures of all.

next word: syrah

Ummm, I don't know that word, so I will improvise

Sarah turned with an evil stare
Looking at her lover.

He was laughing without a care
Sleeping with another.

Sarah took the knife in hand
In his heart she twisted.

Sarah, I love you! His final words
Dying slowly, eyes misted.


Yeah, it's rough
Next word: knife

I'm sorry!!

(it's a type of wine - I was drinking it last night!)

Knife me if you want
for I'd already bled
crimson breath tinted my tortured lips
by poison
of your words


next word: journey

Knife

Need a knife to cut my steak
a mug to drink my beer
a belt that's not so tight
around my underwear

Need a spoon to slurp my soup
a fork to grab my fry
a wipe to clean my face
cuz I'm a classy guy!!


Next word: restaurant


okey dokey: next word is journey ( not restaurant)

The walk was not hard,
splashing through puddles
with the backsplash image
of a harvest moon melting
in my footfalls.
The journey was refreshing,
restaurants, amusement parks,
idle trees wrapped in iron-work fortresses.
But the arrival,
breath released at the sight
of your devilish smile,
that was the reward
at the end of the mile.
And getting there,
I whispered to the moon,
thanking it for its
silent
faithful
accompaniment.


Next word: stark

In one calm storm, darkness
sucks in the thunder
of insanity

In one still wind, starkness
births the paradox
of time

In one cool sun, there beams a light of hope.

next word: thunder

Thunder

rips asunder,

But lightening

is more frightening.


Next word: Flood

The swelling of emotions
Flooded me
Extinguished the fire
that had burned for you
Only now I can breathe
deep in the water
of the calm of my being
of my true love: me


next word: pig

Deleted

Perception

In the eyes of the beholder
perception
seeing what we want to see
seeing what is physical
tangible
obvious

Judging by perception
outside signals
triggering
inner thoughts
assimilating
processing
assumption

But whose perception is right?
there is no right
just perception

Next word: empathy

The perfect link
to another's
heart
the perfect way
to break
apart

New word: connection

Connection

Links of life
in connection
some loose
some strong
all joined
in a harmony
we may not understand
or fully accept
but need to embrace
as our destinies

Next Word: universe

dust motes
dancing in the sun -
swirling twirling,
new things begun:
a breath, a wish,
a thought, a pain -
the 'verse will never
be the same again.

New word: pain

pain

"The poetry game" fell to second page
that is a pain
so guess what?
I brought it back again!

Next Word: return

to tread
the sands of life
is weary work, indeed -
but even worse,
and even better,
is knowing -
you will come full circle
and see your own steps
for the first time.

next word: observe

For next word Observe

In the forest they meet under silver draped eve

Rough bark, smooth back, smiles curve

Sage moss becomes a downy bed

While moon and stars observe

Next word:
Drops

Voice sullen,
Angry,
Fired with passion.
Words splash
against the canvass
of my mind.
Hope drops
to mingle
with despair.
The end of love
can never
be predicted
until the veil,
lifted,
burns with precision,
against the backdrop
of stinging pain.



Next word: trap

Your sex is like a Venus Fly Trap
Fascinating contraption
Lust for flesh
Let me be your fly, entrapped
Engulfed and swallowed
Die in ecstasy



Next word: lust

curves
and a hint of
red
a dipping line
as we dip
downt to
bed.

next word: red

Wings shred
dripping red
freedom of flight
into the night
lost in anthems
of fighter phantoms

Next Word: Battle

For next word:Battle

Embers of battle furiously lit

Stirred by sword and fanned by shield

She wandered alone seeking it
Then cursed at what the Fates revealed

Next Word: Skyward
