Writing Prompt

POEM STARTER

Submitted by Decko

Write an over-dramatised poem that is about something not at all dramatic.

It should be about something boring or normal, but with intense poetic drama and whimsy.

Writings

Tissue

The hour is late and I am spent

What in the hell is this awful scent

The feeling of urgency

This might be an emergency

I run like there is no tomorrow

The fastest route I follow

A door, right in front of me

For sure, reliefe is guaranteed

I sling the door open and sit

Finally, I can take a shit

But alas, an imminent issue

I can’t wipe my ass

Damn it, there is no tissue...

Crunch

Want to see a magic trick?

I take your numbers and turn them into others,

Like a toddler counting for the first time,

Truth is relative.

Close enough, good enough.


I am the high wire act,

Balancing your books.

Every entry matched with its counterpart.


The Doctor solving problems,

That you don’t know about,

In ways you don’t understand.


Jack of all trades,

Knowing enough to be dangerous.

The pow...

The Line!!!!

THE LINE!

SHE CUT ME!

THIS IS NOT FAIR AT ALL!

I MAY BRING OUT MY POCKET KNIFE!

THIS BITCH WILL _PAY!_

AND I AM HERE TO SAY


NEVER CUT A LUNATIC IN A LINE

OR ELSE YOU MAY RUN OUT OF TIIIIIIME


CHATTING WITH YOUR FRIENDS, YOU SAY?

NO ONE IS FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE AS UGLY AS YOU!

AND YOUR TIME RUNS OUT

when my knife plunges in.


*chuckle*


I CAN SEE THAT NERVOUS LOOK ON YOUR FACE.

BUT IF YOU GET TO TH...

Walk Around The Block

Left foot forward, right foot forward

Wind hits my face

Left foot, right foot

Sun attacks my eyes

Left foot, right foot

Getting so close, just a few more steps

Left foot forward, right foot forward

I made it back...

A book.

A book. Is that all you can say about it?

A book. It has hundreds of pages, with words not regular humans can spit.

A book. The content can be false,

But the message cannot.


Is a book all it really is?

Just a few pages and a cover,

Is it what everyone says?

It can be a wonderland

Or just something thats really bland,

For a books meaning is not to be seen,

but rather to be heard....

The Pencil

I lost my pencil

I need it before go wrestle

I will fail this test

If I try to rest

But if I imagine you

Then I might be able to pull through

A pencil is all I need

To pass this test

We shall see

If the teacher is selfless

Or has too much greed...

Books

Books are magic

Full of wondrous adventure

Battling pirates

Or flying with fairies

Most say there boring

Only for nerds

But from the smell

To the stories

It sparks emotions

So vast and many

That you’ll never put it down

After you start...

Catastrophe

I knew it was over before the end began

But there was nothing I could do

For my instincts have dulled

I have grown too content with comfort


It’s important for us to learn from our history

But never did I see myself becoming Pandora’s disciple

And yet here I sit

Having foolishly opened the floodgates to the world


And while I sit solitary

I fear judgement from others

While yearning for repriman...

The Throne

Many have strived for this throne. Gold outlining the assets of such a fine porcelain god. Wars have waged. Blood has been shed.


This throne holds secrets of the most delicate kind. Wht have you put into your body? The throne never lies. The throne wants whatever gifts you have to give.


“Jessie! You’ve been in the bathroom for too long. Hurry up!”


“You interrupted my story!”...

Mark’d for death

it hit my eyes first

and they started to water

and upon every inhale

it burned my nose, my throat


and we heard another go off

a loud bang

and more filled the room


and i heard my brother

wheezing, choking

the sounds of death


i crawled over to him

trying to avoid

the suffocating gas

and put his head

under my shirt

for protection


i could barely open my eyes

and held back the vomit

as we sat th...
