LIKE THE FLOWING RIVER'S POEMS AND SCORES #2

Lap 14 Round #4 (Free verse)

I've seen many miracles
and witnessed myriads of jaw-dropping events.
But the only thing I crave seeing
is a mother camel delivering...

Lap 14 round # 5
(must have word "microscope")

I take a microscope to my life,
look for what's disguised,
for the bad things hide.
we are quite the pair,
our life fair, though you've
had you're share of sad care.
We are quite the pair,
let's join hands and be a pair.

Lap 14 Round 6. Wild card (Water)

Bring me the water
from the stand, please
the glass that's covered
in smears of cheese;

no, don't bother to wash it,
I'm not abused,
I take it like I take my life,
overly used.

Lap 14 Round 7 Cats

White, black, or golden
they all have your tiny
sharp claws, though
unlike yours, theirs
are never used against me.
Faithfully following my steps
trusting this leader who
doesn't trust her steps.
Furry, cozy almost the
way it feels to be in your
arms, wrapped up in
that comfortable thought
of being safe, except that
cats never run away
the way you do.

Lap 14 Round #8 aabab scheme

I pluck my dull calendar
in the nights of solitude and surrender
to petrifying owls and howls
that put my heart into a blender,
as the fear of losing you crawls.

Lap 14, Round 9, PNQ member
To the one n only Close friend, MEME

She wrote words that spoke her mind,
That touched my heart,
She wrote a letter,
As a symbol of her trust,
Enclosed with words for the cold hearted,
See cold is only the absence of heat,
Without her heat i'm heartless,
And no mind makes the right decisions,
Without feelings..
She makes me human..
I once stood heartless,
But now,
Forever changed...
Forever heated,
In her coolness

Lap 14 Round 10. Alliterative verse

Howdy how handsome heavy
we welcome ye to these ways
here, help healthy happiness:
when once worn, wash underwear

Lap 14 round 11 five lines

You bring me sweet dreams
but you just did something mean
an act I can't believe, and I won't support
don't play a girls heart, an act beyond me
maybe if you like me I can set you free.

Lap 14 Round 12

Halloween 11

It seems Michael Myers is back,
Wearing a mask dressed in black.
Down in the valley. or up a hill,
Some evil spirits are hard to kill.
First he escaped the loony bin,
Trying to return to his next of kin.
They just can't capture him any more
He will murder again like before.

Lap #14 Round #13

Toilet
------------

Just flush me down the toilet
the way you flushed everything.
My worth to you is now clear -
clearly I am nothing to you.

I gave you all that I have
but nothing was good enough
and now you compare me to the worst,
most disgusting thing ever.

Just flush me down the toilet,
let me splash and swim away.

Nature

In the aftermath
of natural disasters,
life bonds are strengthened
though many lives are shattered.
Nature wants what's best for us.

Lap # 15. Round # 3

Like Water, Like Love

I told you, not all the vital things
in life need a color, or a certain
shape to establish its significance.
Sometimes the things we can't
put in words, adjectives, nor figures
may be just too important that
it's very hard to define them,
just like love.
You asked for a proof, and I
handled you a clear glass of water,
and a wet towel that soothed your
sweat. And I was very glad that
you finally understood!

Lap 15 Round 4 Free verse

Like the flowing Tigris River
you wash me clean of concerns
refresh my outlook on life
and make me want to be better
than I really could be;
each of you inspires me,
put words that flow from my heart,
proud you named me your godfather.

Lap 15 round 5 [microscope]

Your eyes like a microscope, look after me
Even I am in the second corner of this world
Your heart follows me like a fast track light
Does not matter how many miles I am away
your whispers catch my attention quickly
every time among thousand of people rush
That is how u pursue me with your love fragrance

Lap 15 round 6, wild card, 5lines

The ultimate stage is to strive against oppression
That's my religon,wherever and whenever the cruelty

Feline Friend
I've often tried to comprehend
The nature of my feline friend
Descended from royal bloodlines
From a vast zodiac where Leo shines
To Narnia, or a place like that
Origins of a domestic cat?

Round 15 Lap 8

I started writing a letter to you
Hoping you'll write back to me too
I wrote straight from my heart
What else can I do?
I keep missing you more everyday we're apart.

Face the facts friends and fellows
I don't do diddle in 'dis draw
alliteration gets me sevens
so send me not solicitations.

Lap # 15 Round # 11

They asked me to write only five lines,
but I have so many endless thoughts
about you, emotions, and craziness.
So I decided not to, for even five
books would be few.

Lap 15, Round 12 (Halloween)

My favorite thing about Halloween
is not the candy, chocolate or chips,
it's not dressing up or getting to stay out late,
not the prank calls or ding-dong-ditch,
it's not the haunted houses or the parties,
nor is it running from the police or acting like lunatics.
My favorite thing about Halloween is:
I get to do it with my friends!

Lap # 15 Round #13
Toilet
--------------------
Our story began along time ago
It started with my diapers and your seat
We share a lot of memories together
Some are good ones and the others aren't so good
But we both agree to the fact
That we need each other everyday
That is the story of my toilet and me

You Made Me Drunk

Your high heels on,
rimmed rouge lips,
designer shades, skin dress,
two whiskey shots...
I became drunk!

Beaches are mountains
that have just gotten too tired
of holding up heads
and floated down to the sea -

And rivers stop flowing?
And oceans start drying?
And ships stop floating?
Will the Earth survive ?

Kiss Me

If you could microscope
my feelings,
you'd see how
my DNA no more duplicates
or replicates
when I see you,
how mitochondria become
energy-free,
and how my mitotic divisions
become meotic
when you kiss me.

Lap 16 Round #7
Cats
--------------------
Tripped by a rock, and fall down the stairs
Then lost my glasses and got every one's stares
I stepped on my glasses by mistake, got pushed
by a kid running so I fall back again
I started to shout out loudly
everyone was laughing at me badly
All those things started to happened
after stepping on that Black cat's tail

Lap 16 Round 8, poem

aabab

Though I love my pride, in every single way,
but I hold no excuses to make, nor words to say
for your confidence hits hard against my wall
unable to fight you, and definitely not today
and hence I smile, and truly speak nothing at all.

Lap 16 - Round 9
(pnq member)

Sunny

I've got a pocket full
of sunshine and a club manager
that out-shines the sun.
Rania, in Arabic,
she aspires for heights,
but little does she know
that heights can't reach her,
anymore.

Lap 16, Round 10 (Alliterative verse)

Since this contest of clubs has commenced,
I've scrambled, struggled and stressed
over what poems to present, as the pressure mounts
I'm counting down the clock before carpal tunnel sets in.

Whoever would have thought
that Steven's untimely death
would lead to a massive run
on black turtleneck sweaters
for Halloween costumes
of Zombie Steven Job.
Will they go bobbing for Apples?

Lap 16 - Round 13 (toilet)

I miss the old days
when our grandparents used to answer
the call of nature in nature itself.
But now, modernized toilets have
invaded our homes,
preventing us from being mesmerized by nature
when answering its call.

I am now for ever trapped
in their hallucination.

Seas in trees not good news
tsunamis aren't welcome at all
too much work for the crews
getting their boats off building walls
