A Warrior’s Heart – Poem by Dragon Blogger

dragonblogger — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 14:30:04 +0000

A Warrior’s Heart

My lady, he says to her
fear no more this way
for I shall save you
this very day

My charming knight
I trust in you
having been here before
I do love you

My lady, he says to her
our troubles are done
evil is vanquished
we have won

You’re not only strong
But also smart
and you’ve always had
a warrior’s heart

A Trio of Haikus – Haikus by Dragon Blogger

dragonblogger — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 18:15:05 +0000

Dark Magic

Voodo hex on me
Blinded by the dark magic
My soul has been cursed

—–

Sickness

The infection spreads
Weeks or maybe days to live
Medicine not found

—–

Safety in Seclusion

Killers on the loose
Lock yourselves in your homes now
Seclusion is safe

Hallucinations – Random Twitter Poem for July 17th

dragonblogger — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 19:57:35 +0000

Today’s poem called Hallucinations is about someone tripping out on LSD or mushrooms as a sort of initiation to join a cult. This poem today was crafted from 19 random words (in blue) provided by the following twitter followers:

@writingnag(secrets), @anefallarme(adrenaline), @KathrynVercillo(kin), @Zorlone(incognito), @denthewise(release), @summerbreeze80(exoneration), @SusanBerland(glacier), @ryjr(home), @Zorlone(hallucinogen), @SurfCityJay(implants), @stnmoon(Occupied), @houseofpuroy(participate), @A_Lan(bathtub), @GemmaBeads(faux pas), @peglegpug(vacuum), @KnightDiver(Birdhouse), @AnnEvanston(marshmallows), @lejonprime(karoshi), @daNanner(crash)

Hallucinations

What kind of faux pas secrets
are hidden from your home kin
indulging in the next hallucinogen
adrenaline charging as you participate
occupied with your next release
risk of suffering a karoshi crash
floating in a vacuum of sanity
a glacier bathtub lined with marshmallows
one vision after another warps
each one implants inside your mind
you skulk around chasing ghosts
trying to be as incognito
as a canary in a birdhouse
exoneration as the trip is over
and senses catch up with reality
you realize you have survived the trial

Black Hole – Unique Poem by Dragon Blogger

dragonblogger — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 14:30:44 +0000

I don’t know why I wrote this, or even where the inspiration came from, I just started writing Plasma heat and this is what came out. Decided to let my mind finish it and publish it, but I can’t even explain what it is.

Black Hole

Plasma heat
Regarding wind
Elements of time
Consolidate

Fleshy silence
Recognition
Darkened light
Shadows

Plasma heat
A sun’s core
Darkened husk
Reality

Dead Elements
Collision
Darkness within
Plasma heat

Hunting Spider – Random Twitter Poem for July 16th

dragonblogger — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 20:29:13 +0000

Today’s poem is inspired by the giant spider I caught for my boys this morning, so many people sent words like predator, avatar, “cacciatore” which means hunter in Italian, that I this just seem to write itself. Thanks to the following twitter followers for the 9 random words (in blue) provided.

@JamesBlackLive(valiant), @jeremylewit(cacciatore ), @ryjr(cognisance), @santasdevil(predator), @denthewise(avatar), @coyotesqrl(collapse), @evliving(withdrawal), @R_Arblaster(uncomplicated), @stnmoon(Friendly)

Hunting Spider

Simple uncomplicated cognisance
like the idealistic avatar
of a valiant predator
a silent eight legged cacciatore

Unsuspecting group of friendly insects
startled when the spider drops down
attempting to make hasty withdrawal
they scatter and jump in chaos

One victim, not so fortunate
as its body begins to collapse
decaying from the injected venom
the spider drags off its midnight snack

Culinary Disaster – Random Twitter Poem for July 15th

dragonblogger — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 20:21:24 +0000

Today’s random twitter poem is about a chef presenting a creation that was supposed to bring him fame and greatness, only to realize he made the dish too spicy and instead was embarrassed. This poem inspired by the 11 random words (in blue) provided by my twitter followers below:

@ryjr(immortality), @KathrynVercillo(miscellaneous), @DVDsnapshot(crocodile), @CelebritiCat(sybaritic), @numbnuggets(diaphoresis), @shemah(gourmet), @jeremylewit(trenchant), @AnnEvanston(eucalyptus), @filigreegirl(disgruntled), @dreamsvapor(trepid), @katheesue(predicament)

Culinary Disaster

What was supposed to have sybaritic flavor
a trenchant gourmet treat for all to savor
that would bring immortality to your cuisine
instead became as toxic to your career
as a eucalyptus leaf is to ingest
trepid disappointment leaving you angrier
than a disgruntled crocodile now
as customers suffer from diaphoresis
from the multitude of miscellaneous peppers
a predicament, now causing their mouths to gape
as they start demanding water and drinks
you realize your dish was too spicy
and embarrassment and shame
are your lasting friend

Allergic Reaction – Random Twitter Poem for July 14th

dragonblogger — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 20:08:57 +0000

Today’s poem tells a story that can happen to anyone who has allergic reactions and is at risk of going into anaphylactic shock, it tells a story of a person attending a company social gathering only to have a severe reaction after trying an appetizer. Poem was inspired by the following 12 random words (in blue) provided by my twitter followers:

@JenaIsle(phosphorylation), @Zorlone(syzygy), @writingnag(devoid), @RobinJP(want), @AnnEvanston(camel), @santasdevil(career), @denthewise(autonomous), @katheesue(popular), @shemah(equilibrium), @azredneck(martini), @RemBeatZ(metabolism), @johnjriewe(internecine)

Allergic Reaction

As rare as a syzygy event
an autonomous reaction occurring
suddenly your lungs devoid of air
antibodies and immune system gone berserk
as if seeking out phosphorylation induced proteins
wishing you could have stored a breath
as a camel stores water, you gasp
the want for breath becoming a need
air has never been more popular
internecine metabolism betrayed you
your equilibrium starts to fail
as if you had imbibed a strong martini
all from a simple event
hobnobbing to advance your career
a single canapé, a simple formality
hope is all that remains
that paramedics arrive on time

Angry Mob – Original Poem by Dragon Blogger

dragonblogger — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 03:14:02 +0000

Angry Mob

Hatred burns like a raging inferno
Anger begets more violence as the mob turns
from one victim to the next with no logic
I can do nothing but get lost myself
flowing with the tides of rage
as glass breaks from broken bottles
protest turned riot breeds insanity
and the fires of unstable minds keep burning
and I can do nothing but partake
for I light my candle from their torches
and their fuel keeps my fires burning hot

-Poem by Dragon Blogger

Poem inspired by the challenge presented on The Voices in our Heads which was to use the phrase “For I light my candle from their torches”.

Solar Flare – Random Twitter Poem for July 13th

dragonblogger — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:24:13 +0000

Today’s poem was inspired by the words provided and for some reason the movie “Knowing” which I just saw last week popped into my head and influenced the poem. It is a dark end of the world poem and includes 16 random words (in blue) provided my the following twitter followers:
@Zorlone(wordplay), @JenaIsle(planktons), @StarMars(grubby), @dezertsnow(sky), @ryjr(eclipse), @houseofpuroy(devastation), @Jan_Geronimo(gratitude), @solitarypanda(ignoramus), @anefallarme(envious), @shemah(morale), @R_Arblaster(downsizing), @coffeetablepoet(errant), @KathrynVercillo(morning), @petergan(Feline), @daNanner(overheated), @denthewise(random)

Solar Flare

A rumbling sound like a feline purr
a portent told from the eclipse in the sky
random act of the cosmos, brings devastation
an errant punishment from the universe
as if it were downsizing our world
holy pundits spouting wordplay
desperate for a higher answer
morale deteriorates rapidly
humanities last moments spent
being envious of the ignoramus
grubby hands thrown up in gratitude
for lives that near their end
on this final dark morning
a solar flare scours the Earth
overheated oceans steam
boiling fish and planktons
the cleansing ends in minutes
a barren world, all that remains
