THE CLUB - #1

7. Special Occasion

Our first date was cute
In the library
my head stuck in a book
he'd try to grab my hand
I'd suddenly blush,
He'd kiss my cheek
My cheeks would
turn even more pink,
Smiling like we were twelve when we were
twenty-two

8. Wild card

Our Marriage

We were tender at the age of five
Playing in the woods
Innocent in our youth,
You said you loved me
I believed it then as I believed it now
You asked me to marry you
So we got married in my backyard
The trees were our witnesses
The wind was our priest
We said "I do" and made the promise
to forever keep
I'm here now all alone but the memories are
what I used to cope

1. Sense

Smell the roses
Bathe in truth
Little will fate help you
if you're blind to
the truth,
No one will help the blind
who is blind by choice
Only those that have determination
will be winners

2. Category: funny!

Mother once complained
that my dog was anorexic,
I said what did she want me
to do dig him a grave?
It wasn't fair that he was skinny
while I was chubby as hell!
Maybe we could trade disorders
I'd be skinny and he'd be fat
Yeah that would work if life was fair

3. Formed poem
Monody

She was fair as could be
Silver hair, a youthful face
Gone she is now
But she will always be the
grand love that
slipped through my neglectful fingers

She wasn't even twenty
She was still her teens
She had a life that wasn't easy
But still she smiled even when it was tough
She's still the queen of my heart

Now she saves souls
Given a pair of wings
A halo on top of her silver head
She is gone forever

4. Must mention a country/state/town

I'd want to visit anywhere cold
Russia perhaps?
It's always hot here in Texas
I know it's home but why has
it to be so hellish?
Candy seems to melt now
But normally it's quite beautiful
in winter,
Or perhaps Germany?
I have a friend there I haven't talked to in
a long while
Anywhere cold really!
That'd be my last wish

5. 30=36 syllables

The queen of hearts I got to tell you this:
You're dead but in my heart you'll remain
First love remember we were wed in my backyard
Yours forever
The wife you left behind

6. Religion

God in heaven
I haven't prayed since yesterday
Do you still love a sinner like me?
I like 2 of the deadly sins,

Most of the time I have wrath in my mind
To destroy the dumba** who ruined my
"perfect life"
Who pushed my love into suicide
But to be fair I don't think I can control myself,

Lust I practice every day
I either crave someone in my bed
Or make them wish they were in between it,

I know I'm not perfect but if you still love me
God can you forgive me?
I will try not to sin much
But humanity isn't perfect
I want to be loved by you
So please forgive me

7. Special Occasion

Today I got dressed in a black dress
It was her funeral,
The sun was out but everyone was in tears
They didn't see the signs that slapped me
in the face
They said she was always cheerful
But they didn't see into her eyes
they were empty a long time ago
Yet I still called her my best friend
and my wife...

8. Wild card

I wear my hair short
I used to have it long
I wear it short because I don't like
dealing with s***
Never had patience for it,

Don't rhyme either because I hate to force
myself to create
things that should be beautiful and not
forced,
But people seem to push magic into human skulls,

I walk my way and I like it so
I don't have to deal with alot of idiots
They either move out of my way
Or I'll make them move
It's just that simple
And that's the way it has always been
For me

1. Sense

I saw the road ahead said
"Go with Caution"
I said screw it and went faster
Crashed into reality
My mistake fate!
Next time I'll take the signs with better care!!

2. Category: funny!

Once ago there was this girl
who everyone called a slut,
They were wrong she was a nymph
in disguise,
Then came along "Prince Charming"
He tried to get in her dress
She stopped him and said
"I don't sleep with douchebags"
And happily danced into the forest

3. Formed poem
Acrostic

Better
Ignite the spark
That always seems to
Engulf lovers in the night

Me? I'll
Enjoy watching people make fulls of themselves

4. Must mention a country/state/town

Certain people from the world annoy me
The morons that ask questions that
are too personal,
And I honestly wish they would go to Google
and look it up
I don't seem rude unless pushed too far
Sometimes these idiots come from India
Sometimes not it's all a blur as I block them out

5. 30=36 syllables
Anxiety
You're a pain my ass
I'm sorry if I'm a little crass
But I am sick of you
You made my life a misery
I hope there's a cure
To get rid of you anxiety!

6. Religion

I envy people Heavenly Father
Envy how they seem to have
a peace of mind at times
Mine never seems to shut up
Even when I sleep there's always a person there
to nag,
Father I'm not a saint but do you still love me?
Because I'm not sure that anyone truly did
Except you I hope one day
I can become an angel like my fallen love
That's all I want
God I love you

7. Special Occasion

When I first stepped into a church
I was six,
It didn't really mean anything
Now as I am turning twenty-one
I want to step into a church and go
"It's time to get this show on the road"
As I walk down the aisle and repeat
the vows that came before me,
This is a special occasion as I'm getting married
For the second time around

8. Wild card

Cell Phone

I can't seem to let go of my love
It's always there for me
Letting me talk to different people
around the globe
I text to Canada for the daughter I didn't give birth to
And everyone else from the United States
Yeah I'm crazy and I know that's why
I seem to be so alone most of the time

1. Sense

The touch of rose petals
touching my bare shoulders
Remind me of the lust we used to have
I was always happy to smell the
jasmine soap you wore,
Still lingers in my pillow and in my soul

2. Category: funny!

Unicorns vomit is what I've been called
I can't seem to blame them
I seem to be very colorful
I wonder why they didn't call me the
Unicorn Wonder since birth...

3. Formed poem

Acrostic

My
Instinct told me
Self loving pricks
Especially love to mess with
Really timid people
Yet I often ask myself wonder why do they like to torture others?

4. Must mention a country/state/town

Canada is where I'll have to go
To see my daughter marry the
woman that has changed her so
Can't wait to wear my mother-of-the-bride
dress,
Can't wait to warn my soon-to-be-daughter-in-law to worry if I hear my daughter cry
Oh I can't wait to see my daughter smile

5. 30=36 syllables

God I can't wait to be
A mother once again
See my daughters running around
Screaming on top of their lungs
I'm only twenty but I can't wait
To be the mother of their dreams

6. Religion

Jesus Christ you died for my sins
I want to thank you for forgiving mine,
I'm not an easy person to forgive
Since I sin every other hour
If you see this I hope you smile
I am not lying, cheating, or deceiving anyone
at the moment
Just confessing to what I've done just this week
Amen

7. Special Occasion

Next year I'll turn twenty-one
It'll be two years since she'd be gone
I no longer cry
I have since then moved on
I'd go out with a few of my friends
Or go back to college by then
I can't wait to be twenty-one and live
My life so I can drink wine

8. Wild card

Naani

The contest seems to choke all imagination
Leaving me hallow,
So now I wonder what I'll be
When it's done

1.) Sensory

I see miles of cow dung
drug through heaping mud
and fields where people pour
their miserable hours
into dreams of plenty,
then haul them by the roots
to someone else
dreaming of eating.

2.) Funny

Poop is smelly, sultry, deep
and full of secrets richly steeped.
Who ate the crawfish, or the peach?
'Twas Grandpa, and oh how it reeks

3.) Formed

Seagull takes the wind:
an elegant, arking lilt
as excrement falls

4.) Country/State/Town

I searched for Shitsville on the map,
but nowhere appeared for taking a crap.
A smelly old pitstop could never be wrong,
I'm certain of this: it's where I belong.

5.) 30-35 Syllables

Huddled in the corner, she squats.
A long muffled sigh escaping her lips
as she heaves and stutters
in the bathroom wrestle.

6.) Religion

Lord of the poop is he with the scoop,
For the scooper of poops has the mightiest stoop
He's my savior, my kin, he's a lover, my sin
oh my poopiest, scoopiest, loveliest king.

7.) Special Occasion

First beach of the summer and here I am
gabbing about how little I like beaches
where children piss in the ocean
and parents hide their diapers
'neath the sand.

8.) Wild

It starts at evening, the silent weave of scent
billowing through the door, seeping in the carpet,
A questioning glance, a sudden unrest,
and the dog sulking unusually in the corner....

It's deep in the night, when the footfalls seeking water
take a darker, warmer step:
A clandestine pile from the dog,
an odor brimming from the log,
a startled shriek through the midnight fog.

1) Sensory

My house overlooks the beach
In the evening the waves cascade
Lulling me to dreams of sweetness and honey
From my balcony I can see the seagulls
They wheel and spin chasing the thermals
Free spirits on the wind
My heart soars with them

2) Funny

Timothy Tom Titler
Tried to tame Tisker Thomas toboggans
They talked tomatoes tongue twisters
Till Thunderstruck

3) Formed

Glittering snowflakes
Drifted from sparkling heavens
Coating all in white

4) Country/State/Town

Melbourne at night
So vibrant so bright
Restaurants on every corner
So much hustle and bustle
Tram cars that justle
The streets I love to roam
A place I call home

5) 30 - 35 Syllables

Imperfect steps down imperfect roads
In this imperfect world.
I worry about the steps he takes
To oblivion he walks, not a care in the world

6) Religion

God are you really watching
Do you really see everything
There are times that I wonder
When I see what's happening
All this cruelty in the world
All the death and destruction
If I could touch you I would ask you why
What would your answer be
That it is your will
Your want and need
But I never see you at all
