#online poems on Hello Poetry

Kenneth Walter Simpson Oct 2014

The pale ghost of dawn
A grove of trees
Faded derelicts
Without leaves
A tracery of branches
Bent and twisted
Shades of grey
On a cold, grim day.

Disaffection
Evil minds online
Contempt fro coquetry
Worshippers of perversity
A prelude to profanity
Barely covering
Membranes of morality
On the dark side of the mind.

This was inspired by vicious, personal, verbal attacks online.

Invocation Sep 2014

holding my breath

Don't change it, please
just wait
After this song
our lives can continue
as before

but everything
will change
as the chorus woefully crescendos
your eyes stare into the sixth dimension
and I can't control my tears

and the emotion will lie bleeding on my floor for you to notice
as I blush
when the last note
sustains
and
dies

***** shorts and hesitations

Anticipating the Meeting

Anticipating the Meeting
Looking for the sun to shine again
Longing to feel the tingles that come with a touch
Seeking the security of being in arms tightly tucked
Imagining the passion of your kiss
Wanting to feel a belonging
Needing to be needed
Desiring forever
Waiting for you to come to my door
Dreaming of the magic once more

This poem was written for my friend D.M.T.
We made the connection online.
We are meeting face to face for the first time in less than 48 hours.

patience

i waited for the reply
                                                    for hours
                                                                                       and days
it never came

Forever21 (10w)

Forgotten crosses in the clearance section-
religion has become cheap.

William Riley Plath Jun 2014

.

whenever you feel
inconsequentially small
remember one thing:
the period.

a dark pixel
a tiny nuanced dot
that manages to
transform everything.

"I'm fine"
becomes "I'm fine."
"Okay"
becomes "Okay."

but perhaps the most painful
of all is to see
"goodbye"
change into "goodbye."

it's over...
