27/M Todd is a poet who works mainly in surrealism and absurdism. He does this to convey the disorientation involved in reconciling competing realities and a shattered worldview. He also works in these forms because they’re fun.
Sycophants and Salisbury! What does the basket in your heart hold? Doris Dearess, The where has gone And sold away the wind. Now my little hairs Stand cold, And I feel older than old.

Kool-Aid and calculated risk taking, A brisk walk on the mild side Has left you wanting more. The line is breaking, But be careful what you fish for. There’s a knock on the door And it’s for you, Yeah, so it’s for you. I remember stepping into the brine As you tip tapped the tick tock To keep it in line. It was running out of rhyme and time Was set to trickling And tickling from inside. Doris day and Doris night! The stars about won’t start a fight If you talk to them like that, My dear. Celestial bodies are not fans Of blood, And blood breeds bad seeds That shoot at the moon Like thieves. The gull are shook, Rattling frigid looks, And the crooks are creeping Up the hall. Oh, Doris, I can see them all, And they call like crows In a catered carrion free for all. As the sun fades Into its aquatic grave, I save a test from the ******* past And, Doris, You have loaned stones to my House of glass. You’ve crashed, And you’ve bashed, And you’ve lashed yourself To a mast That you aren’t willing to steer. In this instance, I can still hear the bruising pier, Cheering and jeering, Until it believed its last.

The clock doesn’t offer refunds. It can’t give back my time. So what can I do when I already blew twenty minutes on making this rhyme?

sometimes the shortest poems take a long time to write
If you score it like baseball, It’s nothing, A perfect game For both parties, A marathon With no ribbon at the end. I’ll push that rock up the mountain, But it always rolls away. Playing tennis with a wall Often ends in self defeat, But I get lost in the heat Of competition. I have a premonition That I’ll break it down, Chip by chip, Brick by brick, But rubber’s got nothing On masonry.
