Untitled~

Asleep I wander here nor there, bilious inversion I bridge the pair
Looter ruination, moral idolization, timeless comedy

Helix-granted-compensation-a-ploy
Herbal devolution
Familiar progression after coffee

Three-monkey-morning-riot
Power-lust
Altruism
I found an interval timer

Reward circumstances
Expression inamorato consistently
Contradictions Ero

A Moral collection, adventuring in a pinch
Enough integrity, where is strawberries quick?

The Progression of Looters~ by Simon Lenthen

 

Word Scramble 4- The Progression of Looters

 

The Progression of Looters~

A morning riot
Loud and convoluted
Breathing into alleys
Breaking windows for ill-gotten rewards
Spraying their expression of anger
In a rain of Molotov cocktails

The police, with moral purpose,
with power-lust inversion of integrity
wall up as contradictions to looter idolization
And on a helix of devolution
officers call for the ruination
Of an already bilious social fabric

A morning riot
Twisting the spirit of altruism
Into contradictions of anger and justice
Pushes into the wall of police
With cliché and fury
With comedy and insults

A ploy that makes a Karma Sutra
Of violence
Of implicit circumstances
Looter and policeman
Inamorato
In defiance of each other.

Vapor~ by Ron Reed

 

Word Scramble 4- Vapor

 

Vapor~

Oh, the bilious progression of moral purpose
a subjective expression toward enlightenment
each morning portends new chance
to sort convoluted dreams and desire,
to avert devolution and ruination
to be well and unique

An altruism turned to comedy by contradictions
idolization reduced to empty memories
an inversion of dreams like smoke in the wind
the inamorato faces a riot of emotion
to heal and grow from circumstances
To regain a posture of integrity

As we fall and stand again
the rewards change and grow
an upward helix journey
to solitude and solidarity of soul
a pure existence without ploy
a new beginning

Power-lust abandoned
humility embraced
to rise again to the light
as the phoenix
and flay the looter of spirit
to vapor

The Great Dictator~ by Portia Burton

Word Scramble 4- The Great Dictator

 

The Great Dictator~

Alas, these days circumstances are such
That any normal person will become bilious,
When every morning he sees in the world news
How the leaders have forgotten their sacred purpose.

We see how a person who was once a freedom-fighter
Has become a looter of his country due to power-lust,
And yet his beguiled fellow countrymen,
Falling pray to his ploy, still hold him in trust.

Amidst stark poverty he talks about progression,
And though his convoluted argument is full of contradiction,
His people still love him as their ‘inamorato’,
Oh, the sheer height of mindless idolization!

That dictator will never think of any devolution,
Being afraid of even a fictitious patriot,
He has sent integrity and altruism for a toss,
And any expression of dissent is crushed as a ‘riot’.

Even the moral code of conduct is subject to inversion,
Religion has been declared as ‘useless’ already,
Unmindful of the alarming helix of rising poverty,
For him the travails of the people is a mere ‘comedy’.

That once beautiful country is going to ruination,
Corrupts are getting rewards,t he pious face damnation.

Comedic Plight~ by Rachel Hoyt

Comedic Plight Scramble by Rachel Hoyt

 

Comedic Plight~

My life is no helix of kind circumstances.
I just live with a purpose and take my chances
That this bilious feeling that wakes me each day
Will somehow, someday go away.

Fanfarons fake morals and integrity,
But their contradictions are easy for me to see.
Possessed with percolating power-lust,
I find most people don’t deserve trust.

Looters of life, inamoratos of none –
The age of self-idolization has begun.
This inversion of altruism is not ‘a riot’.
Progression of such expression should be quiet.

Devolution reaps convoluted rewards.
My ploy is to stand separate from the horde.
Seeing mostly ‘comedy’ morning, noon, and night,
I avoid ruination and continue on my plight.

Inside Dr. Jekyll's Head~ by Yoshay Lama Lindblom

 

Word Scramble 4- Inside Dr. Jekyll's Head

 

Inside Dr. Jekyll’s Head~

Contradictions surround like a bilious ache,
altruism on one hand my character shapes.

Moral integrity mirroring my day’s mantra,
a fine ploy but nonetheless an affected dogma.

Convoluted circumstances, a likely answer,
devolution however, nourishes my anger.

Progression by night comes with such a relief,
A comedy indeed! in my life of grief.

Rewards of gratification breathe in these alleys,
Purpose of vengeance for me, the night carries.

Power-lust, invincibility, by night I portray
an inversion to my life-saving craft by day.

My own helix of shadows versus light.
A riot of rendezvous I live by night,

Inamorato I am, to most femme fatales,
their ends however lie secretly in my hands.

Compassion my expression by morning holds,
a looter of innocent lives, by evening unfolds.

Ruination perhaps is my second name,
of that, most certainly, I am not ashamed.

Idolization in any case I seek not,
but for my crimes I wish never to be caught.

Masked~

Inamorato, your power-lust nature,
And the devolution you fake…

Shackled by morals
Wish I could see through your ploy.
The looter you are, of my heart
Idolization has made me blind
Falling through the helix,
Pronouncing my ruination
Expressions of love
Filled with contradictions
Causing a riot of thoughts
Convoluted thinking, testing my integrity
Making me bilious
The present circumstances
Not helping at all.
Using my altruism as a shield
To serve your purpose
Causing an inversion of my world….
Isn’t life a comedy of my errors?

As the morning sun rises
With a promise of a new day
I try to make progression
Towards balance and some semblance.

Campaign Conundrum~ by Cheryl Williams

 

Campaign Conundrum bn Word Scramble 4 Cheryl Williams

 

Campaign Conundrum~

Another double helix of contradiction stood stunning – cleverly clad
in altruism and integrity
Continuous tragic comedy of convoluted circumstances
Cunning interns and inamoratos grin in idolization of folks with long
pen strokes
Likewise power-lust fuels capitalist rewards
It’s a double-edged sword
They call it progression
Front page is the morning muse
Flip from shooter to looter, weather to whether, news, or political
propaganda and ploy
They’ll spin this inversion until no end with verbal bilious ad
devolution and ruinations
They call it expression
Well… until Pussy Riot breaks moral decorum
Another double helix of contradiction stood stunning – cleverly clad
in altruism and integrity

And That's Why They Call it the Blues...~ by Neil Chatterton

 

And That's Why They Call it the Blues... bn Word Scramble $4

Image by John Tisbury

 

And That’s Why They Call it the Blues…~

I am defined
By rewards.
A desire
To play in another’s sandbox
Any consequences be damned
Never glancing behind
To see if that riot
Was mine.
My ruination
My comedy of errors
Came with a purpose
As surely as morning does.
Yet I helped tighten the straps
Enjoyed the feeling of steel
Salivated as my mouth was filled
Willingly.
And this is my reward.
A darkened room
With an occasional shadow
As a friend.
His altruism stopped
When the door closed
And the pain began.
I pondered
Our love
As my moral integrity
Slipped another notch
Hastening memories
Reliving the contradictions
Evident to all
But one.
“Inamorato”
Screamed it forever
Until my throat
Protested
But how
As all I could taste
Was rubber.
Descending like a veil
Its progression
Determined
By my muted
Silence
Covered once again
As I shivered
And reviled my innocence lost.
Such idolization
Better suited
A juvenile
His feigned and convoluted sincerity
Made me an onlooker
As he,
Akin to a looter,
Took
My soul.
Footsteps
Eyes wide open
His expression
Lustful
I turn my head
Too Late
As his tongue
Licks across
Cracked lips.
My stomach rebels
That bilious feeling
Returns
Unwanted and unwelcome
I involuntarily dry-heave.
His power-lust
Sucks
My air
My resistance
As the inversion machine
Flips me.
His boots
Immaculately polished
The smell of soft leather
Beckons my hunger
As my tongue
Thrusts
Strains
A have a mere taste
Of him.
My devolution
Almost complete
As he pushes his boot
Forwards.

  • Portia Burton

    Dear Mr. Edward Harsen, your ‘mould’ is unique, making your poem ‘statuesque’!
    -Portia

  • Portia Burton

    Mr. Neil, I just shuddered while reading this poem. Its so disturbing yet compelling too1
    -Portia

  • Ron

    Neil – This is dark ;) . Open ended angst. Guilty pleasure and repulsion. Submission and rejection. Very well done!

  • Ron

    Cheryl – Well said. A very poignant look at politics and the dark side of where the process has gone. I enjoyed this ;)

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000066514570 Cheryl Williams

      @e068591e7bb53713a221fb51fff0c849:disqus thanks! Appreciate the review. This is my first word scramble…challenging but fun.

  • Portia Burton

    Very powerful words. ‘Moral decorum’? Is it still to be found these days?…Oh, things are so bad these days.
    -Portia

  • Portia Burton

    Dear Janaki, I was waiting for one such poem from you! Thank you.
    -Portia

  • Ron

    Janaki – I enjoyed this. A bit dark ;) , but I could feel the angst of being there and the hesitation to leave. Very well done.

    • Janaki

      Thanks a lot Ron.

  • Pamela

    Rachel, really like the societal contemplation ;-) .

  • Pamela

    Portia, love the political spin!

    • Portia Burton

      Thank you, dear Pamela, for your support!
      -Portia

  • Pamela

    Ron, felt very hopeful after reading your poem :-) .

  • Pamela

    Love ”
    Falling through the helix,” Janaki. Powerful.

  • Pamela

    Whoa–captured a dark side very well.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000066514570 Cheryl Williams

    Whew, tough acts to follow! Enjoyed reading as ALL the poems display great talent; but I must admit “Inside Dr. Jekyll’s Head” and “Vapor” are my favorites. @a25bb10e38ff9c8099d688a7d7ada0f5:disqus I thought your poem was simply unique all around, not to mention murky and creepy. @e068591e7bb53713a221fb51fff0c849:disqus I liked the clever use of imagery to evoke our senses (e.g. fall, rise, empty, smoke, wind).

  • Rachel

    @Janaki – Very wise words! I once told my mom I was “really good at rebelling against myself” and think you’ve said my thoughts better here in this poem. Love these lines:
    “Using my altruism as a shield
    To serve your purpose
    Causing an inversion of my world….
    Isn’t life a comedy of my errors?”

  • Rachel

    @Yoshay – that was awesome!!! The last four lines are so clever. Thanks for the smile! :)

  • Rachel

    @ac7eec742fa7a60c054291131c149b10:disqus – You really nailed this message! Power is an intoxicating thing and, as such, those in power are often not so honorable in their actions and it makes me quite bilious.

    • Portia Burton

      Thank you, dear Rachel, for your appreciation.
      -Portia

  • Rachel

    @Ron – Great poem! The lines that struck me most just now were:
    As we fall and stand again
    the rewards change and grow
    Some people keep striving for the same reward all the time, upset that they can’t reach it. I think they forgot they have to stand after the fall and keep plodding along in order to keep growing.

  • Yoshay

    @Rachel Hoyt Once again I am simply enamoured by such great talent here at blognostics and I am indeed mighty glad to be a part of the circle. Comedic Plight is an absolute respite in a world full of complications. Read your poetry with great zest and a smile on my face. Fantastic I must say! Keep up the good work Rachel!

    • Rachel

      Thank you so much Yoshay! :)

  • Yoshay

    @ac7eec742fa7a60c054291131c149b10:disqus The Great Dictator is one of my favourite poems here. I love the metre in which you have worked with and the poem simply glides like fingers on piano keys striking breath taking music. Being such a fan of a rhythmic patterns in a poetry, I enjoyed it thoroughly!
    Just loved your poem and the content portraying the modern day politician is absolutely appropriate for the words that were presented the scramble. You hit the nail right on the head I must say : ) Great work and keep it up!

  • Yoshay

    @e068591e7bb53713a221fb51fff0c849:disqus What most caught me about your poem was its form and how you skillfully lend an external form to your poetry that illustrates the gradual rise of vapour as it would appear in reality – Rising in thick bouts at the base and gradually tapering into a wisp of breath. Fantastic! I commend your ability to give both form and meaning to your poem, thus making the understanding better. “The upward helix journey” of the soul in search of enlightenment leaving behind the dregs of human inadequacies is simply brilliant. Thanks for sharing : )

  • Portia Burton

    Wonderful! This ‘soliloquy’ may suit ‘Iago’ also!
    -Portia

  • Portia Burton

    Dear Ms. Rachel, really a ‘cool’ poem! You are right, the age of self-idolization has begun. But I wonder, when it wasn’t so? and now we have powerful tools like ‘facebook’ to flaunt ourselves! BTW, i liked your line ‘My ploy is to stand seperate from the hoards’. But do you mean ‘hordes’ actually?
    with regards,
    -Portria Burton

    • Rachel

      Ah yes. Looks like I have a typo in there, eh? At least I don’t have hordes of typos! LOL :)

  • Portia Burton

    Dear Mr. Ron, I woke up to a cloudy morning but your strong words opened my eyes wide! Really, for a pure existence it should be without any ploy and one must abandon power-lust and embrace humility.Sir, Please accept my deep regards for this poem.
    -Portia Burton

  • Ron

    Yohshay – Brilliant! I swear that “Sympathy for the Devil” (Rolling Stones) was playing in my head as I read this. Simply brilliant!

    • Yoshay

      @e068591e7bb53713a221fb51fff0c849:disqus So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your kind words : )

  • Ron

    Rachel – 3 Cheers! Very well done…I laughed, I cried, I commented. Glad to see you here! Very well done!

    • Rachel

      Thank you, Ron. I like getting things in threes. Thanks for complying! :) :) :)

  • http://raisingamelie.com/ RaisingAmelie

    @Portia Burton — I agree with Ron, it is sad and many do lose their way when in a position of Power.

    • Portia Burton

      Yeas, sir, it is really sad.
      -Portia

  • Ron

    Portia – Very well done. A brilliant observation that sadly is universal.

    • Portia Burton

      Thank you very much, dear Mr. Ron reed.
