Glorious globuled crockery descends over cascading aspirations
Of life.
Of love.
Of this.
This is Sparta.
Worse things have happened
To Ana Ivanovic
Worse things have happened
At sea.
Rohypnol triumphs in our personal daily torments
Unopened
Unloved
Discarded
Let’s begin at the beginning
End at the end
Talk when we’re told to
Leave when we’re ready
Which is never.
Worse things happen at sea
My father was a tree
My mother was a bee
My brother was a key
My sister was a knee
My uncle ate some brie
My aunt owned a monkey
Nothing like me
Nothing like me
Nothing like me
Never such innocence again

i like this! it makes sense
-
So, are you just putting this in every contest you can? I'm removing you.
-
It was almost as if this was two separate poems. This first one ended at "which is never" and is a look at societal norms. The second sounded rather childlike, a cute nursery rhyme. Since this contest is for members only, I must disqualify this poem. If you are interested in writing to our titles you may join the group at:

I have read and re-read
this poem, and I have difficulty in understanding it - perhaps you would care to explain in your AN. I rather would tell you the truth than fake it. Frans -
I quite like it though it has left me quite confused I have to say. Excuse my ignorance but what message is it of pride that you're trying to get across?
-
Wow! The passion just bleeds off the page and somehow, although I can't for the life of me discern the message, the theme seems consistent. Maybe its the confusion, frustration and rush of the piece; the intensity of it.
This is a very well written poem. Unfortunately, it is not a Spoken Word form and therefore does not fit the criteria for the contest.
Thank you so much for sharing yourself with us.
One Love,
John -
This poem seemed to have a playfulness about it, It was quirky and interesting and was lovely to read. My favourite lines strech from 14-19 (it is so much easier to quote the numbers than the lines so I hope you don't mind). I also liked your final line, I thought that was a lovely ending. Nice work x
-
wow you've entered this poem into a lot of contests, it's a very interesting view... very interesting,but im not positive if you were truly inspired by paramore on this one, but i do appreciate it and do like it.
-
Sorry. Wrong contest.
-
Interesting rhyme, though a little strange in that second to last verse. So what do you want to be in the AP family? I like the beginning, and the rhythm, very continuous and flowing.
-
VERY INTERESTING
AND UNIQUE AND WITH A NICE RHYME
GOD BLESS MY FRIEND...
-
Interesting! Didn't really get it though! Thanks for the entry anyway!
-
Good job you know words...funny stuff...random as ever a thing could be, but I suppose that's the nature of post-modern. Thanks for entering.
-
Im not sure what to say. It was very interesting and quite enjoyable to read.
-
The poetry that we are looking for is classical rhymed and flowed poetry, this will typically have an organised rhyming pattern and a regular meter.
Although this is an enjoyable poem it is not of that type
-
WOW
This blew my mind! -
Interesting...
