Blatant Poetic Device

His heart fluttered
His eyes widened
He moistened his lips awkwardly two or three times
He recognized this as the most beautiful sight he’s ever seen
The withheld image

Get Up and Get Something Done

Similar shit, different cohort
#YOLO is the new No Regrets
You only live once
A perfectly true sentiment
Meant to provide courage
And promote taking risks

A Beacon of stupidity
Idiocy’s mating call
Hashtag tattoos
#YOLO

Substance abuse
Unprotected sex
Regrets
No Regrets!

You only live once
Do something you wont see on MTV
Do something worthwhile
Delay gratification
Better yourself
Read a fucking book
Contribute
You only live once
Die with no regrets

I’m not sure this really counts as a poem. NaPoWriMo 2012 No Regrets

I like my women inversely as to how I like my coffee
Black, strong, invigorating and in the morning

Hurrah pale, vulnerable, life-sucking, night owl girls.

Continuing Eduction

Center ball
Level cue
Visualization

Once a week instruction and a show

See the line
Step on the line
Come down on the line

Compelled by nothing but a love of the game
And inherent kindness

Chalk in hand
Loose grip
Proper bridge

Providing criticism, encouragement, assessment

English
Mosconi hits
Speed control

An opportunity to be a pupil again

Ocean-crossed Lovers or: Sea Coward

Twenty thousand leagues out of my sea
A land locked lady and a manatee

Hard to Swallow

Seeping, seething
Caustic creeping
Cracking the foundation
Bursting into basements
Coursing through the cases of
Albums and Heirlooms
Smoldering beneath noxious plumes
Floating up stairs
Wafting into living rooms
Where they’re consumed with
Pills, booze, and news
The catalyst, the fuse
Inserted in throats to make us spew
Out bay windows
Bays of filth

Filth
Seeping, seething
Caustic creeping
Cracking the foundation
The heartland of our nation
Drowning in our own vile bile

Push

Ennui are we
In the land of the free
Nothing to do, no where to be
We sit and debate morality
Without ever approaching a boundary
Asymptotal failures

A Request

Dear followers (and I guess anyone else that sees this),
NaPoWriMo is coming up and I’d like to finally complete it.
If you’d be as kind as to leave a topic for a poem in my ask box  that would help bunches.

Thank you

Yours truly,
Connor

An Atheist’s Death-Poem

Death:
Cessation
Peaceful
Boring
More than mind-numbing
Non-existence

How terribly exciting death is
Nothing matters but matter
And when that’s gone
You’ve never been so full of energy

Death
Decomposition
Transformation
Creation

When you finish being
You are
You simply just are
Unadulterated existence
No consciousness to get in the way
No fear, or ambition, or plans to distract
You simply are
Complexly are
Massive and Energetic
Atomic
Infinitesimal, Ubiquitous
Perfect
