Cotton Anxious (Edited by YumnaKay)

Focusing on locusts...

 I focus on

locust

hocus pocus

corpus 'n' oak'us ​- ​cloak'us

forest broken 'n' soakin'

evokin' mopin' ​; ​a rope'n elope

and slope'n​...​

​I'​m open like robes

​...​hose me down​...​

​...​hopes crown​...​

​

I'​m bound to sound

round my pound​,​

out of drowns​,​

so air hounds​ --​ abound​.​

​

I'​m loud in a cloud​,​

the ground amounts​

 to an ounce of mounds

-- and now​ --​

​I'​m bound

a bat outta hell

as​ -​ ​I​ fall and

sell myself short​ ...​ at bat​.​

​I'​m a rat​ ~​ so phat

​

I'​m cracked at the seams

​...​it se​e​ms​...​

my means are weaned

and lean, now sleep​

and dream​​

of eating ​​reams​.​

​T​he paper bling

that screams

as the mean king 

reaps ​-​ with ease​.​

​I'​m asleep and cream-filled​ 

​a donut​ ​still​ -​- 

​I​ will be​ --​- still​.​

​M​y will is filled

with obnoxious krill​,​

that kill and kill​...​

like the pill​​

​...oxycotin​...​

​

N​oxious​;​ ​I'​m

cotton anxious

forgotten angst, christ​;​

it​'​s drilled into my head

a bill of dead bits

lead to lead a message, Zed 

- in a bottle -

when will the mess begin​?​

​

I'​m throttled, a model citizen

and ​--- ​it ends​,​

no rest for trimmed

and

~ gobbled friends​.​

What a fun read. I wish I could write poetry like that.

[Richard McLin]

Great rhymes, another fantastic piece. Not only is the rhyming fantastic, the whole flow of the piece is exquisite. It's not just easy to read, but fun, it's just a very enjoyable piece.

I loved this one, my friend. It's light, fast-paced and it made me smile as the images rattled around in my head. I can visualize it as a fast, screaming, jabbing guitar lick over very heavy drums, with the lyrics driving the punters crazy as they each attribute different meanings to them. Thanks for the ride!
And Merry Christmas...

[Cecelia A. Green]

All the rhymes you make makes me laugh!

[Chase Dylan]

Laughter is the best medicine, thank you, heh

[andrew mitchell]

Lost in translation but mesmerised in the feelings.

[Chase Dylan]

This one was a throw-away verse, and literally has ZERO "translation"... So I would concur with your statement, heh... Thank you, Andrew

[Michael G. Smith]

Your welcome

Gee wilickers boys and girls… I wonder why this vacuous SJW d********g ran away with his tail between his legs? I wonder why that "social writing site" turned out to be a fake effort abandoned almost immediately by it's own creator?

Eggregious hypocritical virtue signaling bully games never work out in the long run. I'm glad you realized how embarrassing your actions were/are. Maybe if you had some substance behind your populist rage you'd be worth something... but alas... you turned out to truly be intellectually vacuous.

And I'm not even going to get into the plagiarism accusations against you. (which is probably the real reason you ran away like the coward you truly are.)

If you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. Enjoy your shame. I hope you learned something.


Regards,

-- you know who this is... I never blocked you, ya coward. Despite all of your bullshit... you are still welcome to say whatever you want to me publicly or privately. And if you had any balls, personal integrity or honor you wouldn't have had to scurry away like you did. We could of talked like men and I would have been more than happy to debate you. You chose to act like an SJW bully. You did this to yourself...

(also, stop plagiarizing other peoples work... if your that intellectually bankrupt you have to resort to that s**t... maybe writing just isn't for you)

I look forward to your further cowardly silence.
