"dink" poems
(thanx all for the great suggestions) <!> women who wink drive men to drink together, glasses clink tattoos follow in ink and that ain’t the only thing ~ the tiller tied & forgot, the slip knot jinxed the sailboat nearly sinks ~ he cries aloud “you minx!” I’m all done in, you’ve got me sminked,^ you winking whilst me sailing on the oceans brink ~ she smirked and laughed that slinky mink, “clearly you are confused - I’m a lynx, count to cinq, don’t overthink, join me overboard into the **** I’ll finish you off in the the kitchen sink where drowning possibilities are next to nothink promise, we’ll be quite in sync”

Please Help! This Poem Needs a Title!
(Warning: This poem has been de-activated on another site. You must be 18 yrs. old to read this; although we were only 15 then) Way back then, When we were Post-pubescent Boys, We sat in a circle, Not a **** ring, And rhymed our things Like this: You make my **** rock;       You make my thing sing;       You make my **** stink;       You make my log throb;         You make my stick thick;       You make my chub rub; You make my ******* long;   You make my stump jump;   You make my pole roll;         You make my wiener leaner; You make my bone moan;     You make my man stand;       You make my limp primp;     You make my rod applaud; You make my spear smear;     You make my peter sweeter;   You make my one eye cry. And all in unison: You make my hard on. We'd continue with our lines, Til the case was as empty As our rhymes. Them there days of simple joys, Post pubescent Boys with  toys.

Boys With Toys
buzzzzzzz The bus engine idles Intensifying the hammering of little gnomes On my skull Their tin mallets **** dinking* incessantly Throbbing Painful numb as waves crash to escape The confines of my head A small clownfish throwing his tiny body Against the walls again And again And again ba-dump ba-dump ba-dump The bus hits three large bumps in a row Jostling and jolting me into excruciating confusion So tired and so alert Drifting off to consciousness I have got to escape this headache...

oedipus the ****
In my droom wereld... Daar, in die verte, is n bed vir as ek moeg raak. n Berg wat ek gebruik as n kuns muur. En n oop veld vol rose. Bo my, die blou lug met reen druppels wat val, maar wat nie nat maak nie. My gedagtes wat rond sweef. musiek wat gehoor word maar nie gesien word nie. En dan, jy. n Bed vir my en jou. Jou naam op die berg met klippe, gevorm soos harte, gepak. n Oop veld rose wat jou emosie kleur wys. Reen druppels wat val, wys my jou trane. My gedagtes wat vir jou wys *** spesiaal jy is vir my. Musiek om als te laat kalmeer. En jy, vir my om lief te he, sonder om te stres oor wat jy sal **** of se as jy weet jy is die een wat ek wil he.

GeMaskerde hart
Dorslip en droogkeel huig ek in die donker van terg gees middernag vir die soet nektar name waarna hierdie barslip hunker. Skimletters vorm elke klinker net so ryk soos 'n paar gisters terug. Pype weerhou om die klank deur te laat, wat finaal n skerwestorting bring. Is ek aan n groter soeke om woorde te smee- wat getuig van verlange en ander leed ,of aan jou invloed die pryseer te gee. **** jy in heimwee ook dan aan my, dit is al wat ek wil weet of het jy ten einde my liefde by n ander gaan kry?

You enter       Riding on a soundtrack of rising blood pressure and self defeat        Every conversation kills itself at the sight of you;      A joke not quite worth telling, that no one would laugh at anyway           Every eye stops to stare at you         An aging car crash of a human Wrecked and painted in dried blood      Seducing onlookers with a rinky-dink smile      Missing the convenient yellow caution tape that tells you life stops here                   You complain to fill the spaces left by your depleting self worth   That wasn't much there in the first place **In the mirror you see dirt     And you can't wash it away**, no matter how hard you try ***Cause you're ****** in all the wrong ways Up until you die***      Unintelligently designed Your stupidity is almost genius        You blame others for mishaps that you have gained                             Your sickness a silent auction                        Anyone could have caught it        Infectious Anonymous Attended every week       And yet you're still so pathetic you don't accept you're a disease worse than any flare up that could take hold         You don't know how to recognize the facts that you've been told        You complain to fill the spaces left by your depleting self worth   That wasn't much there in the first place **In the mirror you see dirt     And you can't wash it away**, no matter how hard you try ***Cause you're ****** in all the wrong ways Up until you die***

Ruffles your hair in the soft of the summer patch, sunbeams cling to you like honey then later cling to my ever growing hopes of happy happy love. silly silly silly winky-dink he bruises you with stains of purple-pink which later fade to yellow like 'le soleil' friction burns will come from 'le soleil' and linger and cling to your chest like an arrow through the heart. heart-throb. you belittle me one too many times doodle-bug. Rosie roses are nice to fancy and fathom but thorns only puncture pale skin and drain you of your ruby juice until you are nothing but a dusty, hollow skin shell. pale naïve and empty to be filled with dreams, desires and demands as well. hate is not easily boiled in your kitchen kettle water but I think that's a good thing munchkin. Hold back your disdain bite your tongue crack your teeth and do not repeat what your brain whispered it has been lying to you since the day you were born you silly silly silly... this is a ripping seam in your moonbeam and your emotions begin curdle and to leak out like fish but then you remember crying is okay but **** such salt water back in and say naught. distraught. At witching hour it will come at you a cold sweat in the night where your fingers tingle and your meat twinkles faces before you with holes for irises. they have been sent to inject mishap and upside down rainbow viruses. when was the last bedtime you had cloudless soul with organic thoughts? oh fleshly girl tip-toe lightly as blood trickles down your ego and melts it away to stardust to form another cheeky doodle-bug munchkin grin

Tussen my gesteelde fotos En bekoorde akoorde Verstik ek aan twyfel In my verlies aan woorde Ń Oorverdowende stilte In die kuberruim ,Die koperkoord kletskamers En bakkiesblad boodskappe. Trek op jou neus vir Die new-age kakkerlakke. Tik my vingers stompies Op die gladde skerm Rook in die aande as My gemoedsbekakkings kerm Oor die stilte op die foon... Rukkings deur my lyf My harts onwrikbare toorn Ek **** aan jou Ek droom van jou Ek wens en hoop op jou , maar self met die masker Van moderne tegnologie; **** jy ook *** raas die stilte nou?

Oorverdowende stiltes
I once scrungled a tungus, dubbed Binglo Bungus, Whose cungles were trungly, and cuds cumpily cunk. But his drungles did fungle, so sadly he bungled, And without hesitation, he glunked. Four fingles he fangled, when, biggaly bangled, Approached not a crowd, but an army of glimps. And they clinkled his binkle, as he chinkily changled, But The Bungus stopped not for the bimps. He dringled those hob-glimps! Their ****** was drompled! Their pebuses, feeble, buckled under the frung. And he chungled their drungles, with fury he plungled. To this day, not a glimp stands to cung. But his fangling, untrungled, was far from the fringus, And he fangled on forward another five flinks. On the fifth flink, he bebussed, as his fangle was pepis, So he humpled the drumpling **** Sir Bungus fangled homeward, his blumpus was tungled. His drungles rejonked, for the fungling was done. They erected a frangus to plingus The Bungus, And the drumpling **** that he'd won.

The Ballad of King Binglo Bungus
Is it just imagination, or Is Wal-Mart running out of **** to put on their shelves? I swear. (And I intend on cee-ceeing Elizabeth Warren with this.) So, you want to do something About inequality in America? So, you want to give the working stiffs, A Fighting Chance, Is that the name of Your book, Senator Liz? I’ve heard it all before: It’s Hope & Change Redux, Babaloo! (And don’t get me started on Osama Obama.) Here’s my plan: You go aisle to aisle in any Superstore With a little notepad and pencil. Every time you see some Large plastic piece of **** Realizing they sell 15 million of  ‘em every year, All made by some Dink-Chink in China. QUESTION: So, what do you do, Mr. Policy Wonk? ANSWER: Federally-subsidize the Building & Operation of a plant Manufacturing that **** right here in Detroit. Or Atlanta, or Hartford, Cleveland or Fitchburg, Or even Oakland, Where San Francisco poor continue to squeeze. (Don’t get me started on Urban Gentrification.) Trust me on this: AMERICAN JOBS Will deodorize everything that Stinks about The Economy. “Capital Flight Gone Global: Invest where Labor comes cheap. Export those American jobs again & again.” QUESTION: What’s the difference Between a middle-class person And a poor person in America? A middle-class job, ******** But I digress. I was sharing an observation: Wal-Mart’s shelves are Not as luscious, as they once were. Gaps left for PINEAPPLE CHUNKS, With only CRUSHED PINEAPPLE Cans in stock, e.g. So much for that On-line, Real-time, Instant supply-chain, Super-duper Inventory system, Mr. Walton. Arkansas wasn’t such a good idea, after all. Was it Mr. Sam?

Let's hit the road my partner in crime lets load up our guns burn our I.D.'s and hop on the first freight train headed south to Mexican tequila and the baking sun and sand living life in flashes of violence like lightening pitch forks in the sky streaking across the barren places which are yet to be tamed by man we'll gun down sheriffs and posses and **** cheap mescal and gulf water and dust keeping each other safe in the low din of the early morning as an orange fire flickers against burning out to embers, so vulnerable to the wind, against all odds still burning and we will wake before the sun and find somewhere where we no longer feel the need to run

On The Run
The Places I’ve been I’ve been in rain, I’ve stood In puddles and I have watched As the pools of water climb up my pant leg I’ve traveled to different continents I’ve hiked up the mountains that separate them And I thought I had seen most of everything The dips of this world and its highest peaks And after all of this seeing After all of these places of being The place I remember seeing the best Was a place I wouldn’t have guessed Some rink-dink of a church out west And even now I cannot tell you what Art looks like inside the Louvre But every detail of those nuns I can tell you know The sound of their forks hitting metal plates The sound of those same forks when They were pulled between teeth Their black coats fraying against the ground Their protruding knees as they bend down When they were praying the tiny mumbles From a distance sounded like sweet-nothings And I thought that this was their version Of making love to the Lord.

What’s poetic about a foundry worker’s son, Born and bred in Leeds, now idling my time away In a rinky **** seaside town? What’s poetic About sitting on my laptop reading Facebook And pressing Like now and then? It’s got me typing Like a modern poet, no rhyme or metre to be seen. I’m going to (roughly) count the syllables then chop this Into verses. Then post it on my favourite Poetry sites, plus my blog. Perhaps there’s poetry in me being a Working Class Boy made good. In me being a Pro Careers Worker after failing My Eleven Plus. Even got to Grammar School For a couple of years. Taught English for six. The Internet is my Salvation. Television too. Is that prosaic enough for you? **** that rhymed! Knowledge and images, That yet beget… and much more too. No need to be there in person. Just enjoy.

Bo op 'n berg Met my bobbejaan gedagtes wat terg Die eggo van my mania skree terug Wat soek jy hier? Ek drink uit die rivier Ek sink my oë in die rooi son Ek **** alweer Die donker wolke Die reën wat kom Ek laat my gedagtes so dans Plek tot plek Gras van Kees En mens en vlees Sny deur my Woede en naaktheid Die lag van 'n sekere malheid En die sagtheid van jou moeder ken En dan meer bring ek twee Van my na die tafel in 'n oop gesprek Met my leemtes en my onbeheerbare Soeke na wat ek herken binne my donker gate Ek dwaal verlate In riviere van die samelewing Die masjien wat liggies trap op ligte wat skyn en verdwyn In die strate van spoed en bloed Die woorde uit die bek van die dier Die ongetemde kwaad van primate Wat stoei met homself en sy produk en sy bestaan en sy wêreld en sy alles Tot hy verval en wegkwyn Verdwyn agter 'n swart gordyn bedoel vir die son en sterre Waarheid en verlossing Waar vind ek die antwoord vir alles?

Bobbejaan Gedagtes
i just wanted to pick your bones white daisies in a field and weave them together a halo to float over my head so wherever i'd go a part of you hung in the air a soft constant breeze. and maybe you'll let me. maybe you'll string your veins like lights to light my journey when the cobbled streets are black and your back in rink-a-dink town and i'm off getting my wings. you like to breath air into my dreams, lifting my balloons, and even though you'll be here in this gray town you never made me feel sorry. sorry that i've got to leave. and maybe you'll give me your hands too, so when it's colder than a winter month, i can wrap my fingers in them and i'll be warm on the inside too
