Reflection
Imagine
Founded mirrors
Disparate
His parrot
Found it mere or
Desperate
To cradle repetition
Ambled forwards
Ample for wards
Cannot stop a sway
In stalled dissent
It all descends
Can? Ought topple 'way
Image in:
A looking glass demolished
Feathers flurry
"Damn it Polly!"
... end of story
I write poems to pass the time, and sometimes it turns out well. Updates most weeks, usually on Tuesday. 2011 was a year for narrative works, generally using standard poetic tools. 2012 will be focused on homophonic and backwards/forwards pieces.

Reconstruction
Reconstruction
No intended audience, today.
No verbal tests or overt story, simply something stenciled solely
serving as an outlet.
Reconstruction
A meaning to an end
An ending to a means
A brandished kiss
A burnished fist, a
Cataclysm catalyst
Annihilated all bestowed
Enabled swollen
Spaces to create

An ending to a means
A brandished kiss
A burnished fist, a
Cataclysm catalyst
Annihilated all bestowed
Enabled swollen
Spaces to create
A remnant sparked
Irrelevant
And shone on something bleak
Retracted faster though that any
Shadow might eclipse
Irrelevant
And shone on something bleak
Retracted faster though that any
Shadow might eclipse
It's all my fault
Established peaks
Indented quarters
Rainbows minus rain
Finagled dew stagnation
Failed to drink the world
The countless spent eternities
Admit but one forever
It is this
Hold no value in what-ifs
Only in what is

Revolutionary
This has gone through quite a many edits and permutations. I can either stay with what I challenged myself to do, or water it down for less abstraction. I have chosen the former. So, it's very abstract (there may be a better art term) but hey, read it out loud.
Revolutionary
Auras soared
Lewd. A crystal
Or a sword
Ludicrous, still
It would not stop beating
It's saluting merits
In difference
It's a looting mare, it's
Indifference
At keeping others warm
Solemn pyre
Impositions
Saw l'empire
In position
Showing sight the blind
Pro-life proliferation
Hand to brow in kind

... worked for me!
...worked for me!
A vertical nose
Averts tickles, no
Sense will come of this
A finger penciling wrists
On the palettes
Of the pal it's
A loon, a tick
A lunatic
Madly yanking purple
Cackling more per pull
Goading all the silvers
With windowless sill verse
Gleaming orange gels
Shaping men or angels
One can never tell
Easels ease I'll
Seal them eyes
Delirium
Oh, um, am I
Hooked on fawns?
Ick!

The Mouth
The Mouth
Miners forage for aged
Carbon detritus
The granite grants its haunting
Caverns unopposed,
"You're claiming this your mine
But all that glitters here is mine
A minute is mlnute
You miners are but minors
Taunting ancient depths
Suffice to say you'll exit
Staying mingles death"
With pick and torch
They pick a way
Abyssal beckoning
Elusive specters
Hiding in the hollows
Just beyond acuity
The sinister stalactites
Grinning broken maws
A hanging dripping awe
A literal suspense
The miners moving on
Intensely wary
Nary a canary
Held to test the draft
That inundates the shaft
A tepid gazing
Seeks the apogee
Alarmingly
A surface writhing
Keening shifting forms
Keenly seeping murk
Disquietude distilled
They plunder deeper still
The dank and dark beguile
There are no stars to pass
The night eternal waits
But then! A diamond flash
Enticed euphoric states
The miners clutch what they had sought
A smattering of gems
But the miners part with naught
The mine has swallowed them
