[bigpirate]

I brought a bunch of Pepsi
And we gathered for a meal,
a show of solidarity
for the pain we know you feel.
We smiled and laughed and partied
Hoping just to ease your fear
and take your thoughts off of the day
that was coming, and is now here.

So we pray with broken language
We just don't know what to say.
I wish I could make things better,
and take all your pain away.
As you go under the knife
I pray the cancer leaves you be.
So that my ray of sunshine
will come smiling back to me.

next word: action

[SupaNova]

I take life, all actions
and consequences,
in a similar manner
Not unlike the pose
I strike when first I
Take hold of my pe
-n. And in a similar
fashion, it is the op
-inion of many wise
counselors (includi
-ng: your grandmoth
-er and her pastor,
my mother and cer
-tain friends who
hail from so far a
-way) that this pro
-cess is most be
-coming for us.
For we are quick
to act, yet not befo
-re all our 'i's
and 't's have
been perfect
-ed.



Next word: accent

[mellow_yellow]

So I walked from one street to
The next, digging in my purse
For the keys that would get me
Into my getaway car. Head down,
Fumbling hands, one foot in front
Of the other - when -

"Oh excuse, me." I say to the man
I just bumped into. "Clumsy me."
He gives me a smile and a nod,
And as I take that first step away
From him, he says, "That is simply
A divine accent."

His voice drips from his lips like
Honey; his words slurred together.
I look him in the eyes. Kind, soft,
And dark blue. I smile warmly, and
Say with a laugh, "Not I, but you."

For a second, he stares at me,
Then lets out a chuckle and flashes
Me a grin. " 'Twas well said. Forgive
Me, dear lady. For I am the stranger
In this foreign land."



Next word: hiccup

[bananasmurf]

When I've got the hiccups
A microphone pick ups
The uncontrollable sound.

But now that it's snowing
The hiccups are showing
Because you can see my breath.

The sun is now setting
While I keep on fretting
My hiccups won't go away.

Then when I wake up
I hear a hiccup
And pray for a smooth breathing day.


Word: kneed

[SmileAndFollow]

I need this
Like oxygen in the bloodstream
You knead me like bread
You push me out into the open
I think I'll just stay inside my head

Word: Listen

[Butterfly16]

Beautiful breeze, bright blue sky
Captivating colors catching my eyes
The suns shines down, coloring the ground
Like sparkling crystals dancing on a lake
Mesmerized, I can't look away

I hear the breeze whistle
The birds as they sing
The splash of the waves
Some children nearbye playing
I close my eyes, lay back against my tree
And listen to the music, all around me


Word - Cold

[PontiusPirate]

Listen to the radio crackle cold
Stale and old
Overused antibiotics that no longer cure
Nothing new but placebos in their place
Their masked creativity proves fake
We sold our voice for corporate greed
Songs are no longer art
Songs are just money

Word:Coupling

[Jo Mo]

A man a woman,
Desiring completion,
God and coupling,
Make both as one.

In fond embrace,
Make warm their soul,
Two hearts rejoice,
Now they are whole.

word: corporative

[SupaNova]

Was it a coporative threat
That crushed this thread?
Steel toes hot on the heels
Of a grassroots collaboration?
Blood, sweat and grime
Transfigured into text
Bubbling and growing
And scaring the daylights
Out of any suit that would listen?
Perish the thought
Just relish this two-sixteen revival


Word- Cantankerous

[Mr.Zachcore]

I've been poked, prodded, probed and pained
by the tiny men living within my brain
all night they sing songs of cheer
as their vomit and beer spills out my ears
O! the thought that crosses my mind
when I try to sleep and do nothing but rhyme
If i had a dollar for each time I hear
"hey bartender! 'Nother Ale down here!"
I'd be a rich man, surely capable of
Ridding myself of these cantankerous bugs

cthulu

[Role Modlin]

laying dormant all these weeks
awaiting the chosen one
the brave soul welding words
unlocks the cage
where chaos and havoc are stored up
about to be released
rising up from the pit
like great cthulu unleashed
razing cities and eating the young
trail of tears and sorrow in its wake


next word: extemporaneous

[MtlMom]

No time like the present
The only thing I own.
Yet tomorrow breathes down my collar like the Santa Ana winds
and draws me away from the moment
and chases me through next week,
past weekends and birthdays and holidays and grandchildren.

And the winds grow colder.

This moment. This extemporaneous prose disrupts the order and irritates
the clock
the clock
the clock.


Next word: Deadline

[bananasmurf]

There seems to be no deadline
For this freestyle thread
Cause it has been many months
And it was almost looking dead.

I have come to give it life
And hope another does too
For I enjoy my rhyming a lot
So please will you continue?

Next word : Continue

[Cam42]

Continuing through
this thread that may never end...
I post a haiku



junk

[sweet4smiles]

Cards, photographs & secret games of MASH
Scrapbooks of memories cover my closet chest
Children’s books and stuffed animals
Cheesy notes from friends
Endless ugly knickknacks
Poems of pointless things
Journals and my old CD’s
These things won’t ever leave me
You see it as junk, with no real worth
I see it as treasure I’ll cherish forever
All with purpose, a place in my heart
You look at me now terribly mortified
Narrowing your evil green eyes

You better be moving out soon kid
That’s all I have to say,
'Cause if you don’t I’m throwing this junk away
Next time you turn your back or close your eyes
It’s all vanishing for its trash in disguise


Next Word - Chicken
