"kurt" poems
Sparkling petals slice through feet of wanderers Dashing hopes and slitting tendons Each day she visits Sprinkling books and soda-filled sponges among the wire vines. The sizzles excited her And she smiles in spite of her sizzling feet Pleased in her harmless sabotage. The suffocated earth shutters beneath Layers of circuit boards, damp and rotting Steam rises from the core And crinkles the pages of Jane Austen Dr. Seuss Kurt Vonnegut. Her mother’s journal from pregnancy.

April 5th 1994- Kurt Cobain dies April 6th 1994- The President of Rwanda Dies April 7th 1994- Kurt Cobain's body is found April 7th 1994- A genocide begins. Neighbors take arms against neighbors People he once shared a sandbox with now hold a machete to his neck Heads roll- literally Babies cry out to their mothers who lie there choking on their own blood Girls who 2 days ago were playing house with their dolls, now take care of their whole family Screams of pain from girls who's innocence is taken from the man who used            to bounce them on his knee. Gathered in the place where God is supposed to be Hundreds are murdered ruthlessly. Guns not pointed at their heads But clubs that smash them in. Achilles' heels slashed These men drink and feast and sleep Over the screams of their victims Babies born 9 months after these men took something that was not theirs to            take A physical representation of all that is evil and hatred and pain She tries to love them anyway But she sees him in them He has daddy's eye She has her fathers nose She sees them in the way he looks at her when he's hungry As if she is just there to quench that thirst with her body. The whole word is split in 2 Nobody is Rwandan anymore You are Hutu or Tutsi Short or tall Human or vermin. The dead among the living Sometimes I can't tell which is which Until I see it That sparkle of hope in that one man's eye Because the human spirit will never die. The father of his best friend tortured and murdered his mother on their            front lawn. Orphaned and afraid, He cannot stop He cannot slow down He cannot give up Because ***** Kurt Cobain he has to tell the story of what really happened that day Rwanda April 7th 1994

I have a painting of a purple-haired kurt cobain hanging in my bathroom so I can feel the nostalgia of being a broken head shadow put in a anechoic heart-shaped box a dream split inside myself halved and halved again like I’m living on a tiny blue sun stuffed in a jar filled with vinegar shooting speedballs in a lukewarm bubble bath

My youth was short and blurred. I imagine it felt like the last few moments of Kurt Cobain’s life; All light and no color. Though I was born a winter baby, Summers irrevocably held my heart. They tasted like the sunscreen that dripped onto my chlorine-damp lips And smelled sweet like the honeysuckles That strangled the Forget-Me-Nots, Whose roots twisted between the cemeteries Of our once-pets beneath.

Honeysuckles
There are three versions of this poem. only one of them is available on the internet. This first version is from the New Yorker in a 1941 issue. It is the earliest version and the one that is quoted all over the internet. To My Valentine     by Ogden Nash (1902-1971) More than a catbird hates a cat, Or a criminal hates a clue, Or the Axis hates the United States, That's how much I love you. I love you more than a duck can swim, And more than a grapefruit squirts, I love you more than gin rummy is a bore, And more than a toothache hurts. As a shipwrecked sailor hates the sea, Or a juggler hates a shove, As a hostess detests unexpected guests, That's how much you I love. I love you more than a wasp can sting, And more than the subway jerks, I love you as much as a beggar needs a crutch, And more than a hangnail irks. I swear to you by the stars above, And below, if such there be, As the High Court loathes perjurious oaths, That's how you're loved by me. The next version is the lyric of a song from the Broadway musical "One Touch of Venus" (1943) by Ogden Nash, J S Perelman and Kurt Weill. Nash wrote this lyric. It is not on the internet that I could find. I got it from the sheet music. HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU More than a catbird hates a cat, Or a criminal hates a clue, Or the Axis hates the United States, That's how much I love you. As a sailor's sweetheart hates the sea, Or a juggler hates a shove, As a wife detests unexpected guests, That's how much you I love. I love you more than a wasp can sting, And more than a hangnail hurts. I love you more than commercials are a bore, And more than a grapefruit squirts. I swear to you by the stars above, And below, if such there be, As a bride would resent a blessed event, That's how you are loved by me. More than a waitress hates to wait , Or a lioness hates the zoo, Or a batter dislikes those called third strikes, That's how much I love you. As much as a lifeguard hates to swim, Or a writer hates to read, As Hays office frowns on low cut gowns, That's how much you I need. I love you more than a hive can itch, And more than a chilblain chills. I yearn for you in an ivy clad igloo, As a liver yearns for pills. I swear to you by the stars above, And below, if such there be, As a dachshund abhors revolving doors, That's how you are loved by me. The third is from the book "Marriage Lines: notes of a student husband" It was published in 1964 and contains a revised version of the poem with a much different ending. This too is not on the internet. I got it from the book. TO MY VALENTINE More than a catbird hates a cat, Or a criminal hates a clue, Or an odalisque hates the Sultan's mates, That's how much I love you. I love you more than a duck can swim, And more than a grapefruit squirts, I love you more than commercials are a bore, And more than a toothache hurts. As a shipwrecked sailor hates the sea, Or a juggler hates a shove, As a hostess detests unexpected guests, That's how much you I love. I love you more than a wasp can sting, And more than the subway jerks, I love you truer than a toper loves a brewer, And more than a hangnail irks. I love you more than a bronco bucks, Or a Yale man cheers the Blue. Ask not what is this thing called love; It's what I'm in with you.

Life can be painless Provided there is sufficient Peacefulness For a dozen or so rituals To be repeated simply Endlessly Your genius does not fail you It allows you to understand the Truth of the situation; Which makes you--at times-- more tragic than ever And your genius, like all geniuses Suffers periodic fits of monumental naïveté Hi-ho Listen: Where is Grace When milk and blood Are about to be added To the composition of the Stinking ping-pong ***** being manufactured In Grand Rapids? Schizophrenia The sound and appearance Of the word fascinates It sounds and looks to me Like a human being Sneezing in a blizzard of Soapflakes This much we know: You made yourself hideously Uncomfortable by not narrowing Your attention to details Of life that were immediately Important And by refusing to believe what Your neighbors believed Hi-ho Let your imagination continue To be the flywheel on the Ramshackle machinery of the truth. But not the ‘awful’ truth The ‘beauty’ in truth Because we are a part Of a system that is very Restless, With people tearing around All the time Every so often, somebody stops to put up A monument Ours is a country where Everybody is expected to Pay his own bills for Everything, And one of the most Expensive things a person Can do is get sick Grace: Because if we stay here We’ll do one of two things (or both!)

i would take the first train back to the 90's, when my lungs were nicotine-free and there was always something worthy on TV. i would wear my chucks in bed, and have cereals for dinner. i would not have heard of **** i would have used the internet to find the exact words to the songs on Nevermind, because cassette inlays haven't got enough space for Kurt's lyrics. and if i were you, i wouldn't call this a poem. -khai

"Spasms"
And you left me like a baby flower choking On dust, and loss of future blooming, And tremors like Eos's tears On the stillest vernal pool - It was as if you stole my life and simply Went - or put me on my little sailboat That sang of youth and an hourglass, a Duet composed in the ***** crystal of purgatory, Between my insatiably wild stronghold and The rosy maiden, blushing, full, yet Dumb, willingly deaf to red flags, Praying for a partner to make a golden Lady of the wood and water And light, so warm and shimmering under The forest's pine-down cover - what a Big, hasty mistake, to keep yourself Hollow and blind to the day's good things, to remain a Man alone, wistfully misplacing a love Who showed the loyalty of a crimson kindness, and who Was always singing bliss and beauty and glowing into your ears, So stuffed with lies, bitterness, ideals, and Full like drunken leeches - all this, and the coldness, the stubbornness Of the oldest mule, to stay isolated from my Loving eyes, to make time with our sorrowful Echoes, yours and mine. *vertical quote from Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five

Weakness
If you see her again before I do, tell her the way she left left me shaking like a winter windchime; the song too frozen to melt on her tongue. I am scared of all her moving on. The only serious love poems I write are about the same person who hides God in her hair and shows me the lingerie she bought while I try to unfog my glasses to look at her straight. I am too convinced that she is made up of lines that lead straight to my firework skin. There has been too many explosions here. The only way to deal with missing you is to tell you and wait and see if you feel the same. Or novacane. I imagine you taste like an acid trip... all conspiracy theories and sugary words too sober to ever speak. If you see her again before I do, tell her that I am a mess without her. That my mind only settles with her tear-stained cheeks and the only way I can see the ocean in the winter in Canada is to look into her eyes. I am scared that I am being overdramatic. I want to rub our wrists together so we can trade scars. Tell me the story of how you met your best friend and I'll tell you the story of how I fell out of loving my mother. I would rather listen to you ramble than check the time. If you see her again before I do, tell her that on the way home from her arms I counted 1200 streetlamps, 13 lovers, 3 liquor stores and 72 shakes of my knees. Tell her I miss her like Frances misses Kurt. Like dive bars miss blues music. When I see you again, lover, I'll tell you that when you told me your name two years ago, I was surprised that it wasn't Love.

The speaker in this case is a middle-aged witch, me- tangled on my two great arms, my face in a book and my mouth wide, ready to tell you a story or two. I have come to remind you, all of you: Alice, Samuel, Kurt, Eleanor, Jane, Brian, Maryel, all of you draw near. Alice, at fifty-six do you remember? Do you remember when you were read to as a child? Samuel, at twenty-two have you forgotten? Forgotten the ten P.M. dreams where the wicked king went up in smoke? Are you comatose? Are you undersea? Attention, my dears, let me present to you this boy. He is sixteen and he wants some answers. He is each of us. I mean you. I mean me. It is not enough to read Hesse and drink clam chowder we must have the answers. The boy has found a gold key and he is looking for what it will open. This boy! Upon finding a string he would look for a harp. Therefore he holds the key tightly. Its secrets whimper like a dog in heat. He turns the key. Presto! It opens this book of odd tales which transform the Brothers Grimm. Transform? As if an enlarged paper clip could be a piece of sculpture. (And it could.)

The Gold Key
So I am about to be a free man again, to wander where I please. I find the prospect nauseating. I think that tonight is the night I will hang Howard W. Campbell, Jr., for crimes against himself. I know that tonight is the night. They say that a hanging man hears gorgeous music. Too bad that I, like my father, unlike my musical mother, am tone-deaf. All the same, I hope that the tune I am about to hear is not Bing Crosby's 'White Christmas.' Goodbye, cruel world! Auf wiedersehen?

Mother night by kurt vonnegut
where were you when I came out? seventeen asleep in a Philadelphia suburb with that man you called boytoy lover caccoon because everyone likes to feel weeks of web crystallized between their sweaty toes I was an unremarkable specimen called yoda because of the hairs on my ears a baby with a flawless twenty digits and hands like a painter’s but love was spring and had to wait for the grass to green and the retrievers to shed their winter coats so their owners could curse and huff and sneeze you precious Kurt Cobain fan and all things hip/hop with those glasses and that hair asked to be my sister but caught unaware with **** in your shorts because you never saw me coming and how alike we were and what if we met somewhere someday and you said yes this is my brother this is the one who I lost in the spring

What bad could happen to a boy of sixteen, walking through the woods trying to find a nice spot to smoke and read Slaughterhouse-Five? But now that I'm thinking about it, Stephen King may or may not have written a book about this exact question, more or less. And as everyone who has read The Gunslinger Volume Six: Song of Sussanah, knows, everything Stephen King writes happens. Stephen King is God, in this sense. Nevertheless, I found a nice spot, next to a dried out creek bed, complete with a gallon bucket and the scent of lavender. And so I sat, and rolled a couple cigarettes, and dove into the mind and time traveling of Billy Pilgrim. Sitting there, on that bucket, old Kurt spoke to me. The previous owner of this copy of Slaughterhouse-Five also spoke to me. With highlights and underlines he allowed me into his mind and thought processes while reading this book. He underlined every passage that had to do with the Tralfamadorians views on time and the coexistence of every moment. Soon, it became dark and I could no longer read, having only one cigarette left, I headed home. Fifteen minutes later I was home, and if Stephen King had written about this event he wrote it as it happened. With no harm and no foul. And maybe I dislike him for that and maybe I don't understand why he did that, why he would wrote a boring tale of a boring boy going on a boring walk in some boring Northern California forest. And this writing does not feel complete but the Pabst is starting to kick in so I think I'll leave this one alone for now. And Stephen King **** it, I can't even think of a title for this piece of **** Nevermind, I got it.

What's happening to hello poetry? I don't need to know when the next soccer game is And if I can watch for free. Only football I know is American like the pride that's in me. My blood doesn't boil the native sounds of my country. Since my  motherland is the Dominican But America my step motherland won custody and raised me, since the age of three. Don't forget is not who made you but who you fed you, who clothed you, who saw your first shot to a basket, who saw your first catch, who kept your body warm when you got another cold, and so on. This is "Breakfast for Champions" Just ask Kurt Vonnegut What's happening to hello Poetry? Show your art Get your due diligence Don't sell us your dreams don't broadcast your business unless is a story, book signing or deal. I don't need a spell to make a girl fall in love. I got these words For and to whom I might propose Love or an indecent occasion of lust. Let my words be the for front on this site but they're second to my actions. Since I don't speak much b'cause my Latin accent. What is happening to hello poetry? Private messages by strangers who don't write or speak words. Claim is urgent and as a poet You know kind hearted, love lost, And so on... You just might want to message their Hotmail. Sad story under prosecution Sad story the relation is abusive Mocking the painful truths of some of us artist. Just wanting a piece of the pie But when I order I even eat the crust and never leave crumbs. Take offense or not I just don't give a ****

i really do wish you no harm. i hope you don't get pocket lint on your dum-dum, because that would be tragic. i hope the next girl you date doesn't bite. even though, you deserve a gnarly girl who can get low down and gritty. i pray you don't fall going up the stairs and slide all the freaking way down. i wouldn't want a concussed friend now would i? i cross my fingers and shut my eyes, wishing you a pretty girl with perfect teeth and pale skin and an american accent cuter than mine. in bar. or no- in a basement. i would never wish you the worst hangover that you've ever had with a headache so bad you feel like you tried to go out with a bang (literally) like kurt d. cobain, and survived. if you aren't an uneducated swine and know who that is. i hope you never feel heartache like this. feeling your chest tighten with anvil heavy memories and sun-kissed, barebacked truth because you had to let go what you love and love what you let go. crying when you see "message me i get bored x" in their bio on a tuesday night, for the first time in six months.

passive aggressive's my middle name baby
I grew up in a home where words like "atheist" and "agnostic", if uttered, were shoved under rugs or place mats or quilt-work sentiments reading        "God Bless This Home" And so I too, would hide from those who hid from God. But then amongst the distaste and disregard of things less than God, I Became An Evangelist! Ah, yes! Because whose soul doesn't want to be saved by a thirteen year old with a clever Christian saying on his shirt that's a size too small? But not only that, no. I dragged my friends along with me. We were, in fact, a regular children's crusade. But I was a little bigot. I pushed away those who pushed away God, shocked at the thought that anyone could not believe in what now seems completely unbelievable. I even scorned the science teacher who had the audacity to introduce the evil of evolution. I was on fire. But then the Devil himself put Kurt Vonnegut on my lap. Yes, I accredit my loss of faith to a crazy science fiction writer. At least, he pushed the first domino. And my God, I was afraid. Afraid of feelings of distance Afraid of questions that never seemed to have an answer. Afraid I was losing myself. I struggled with the traditional questions, of course: Why would a benevolent God send good people to hell for not believing? Is he that insecure? If he is omnipotent, wouldn't he know what he was getting into when he created such sinful little ***** Why should we be indicted simply because we were born? How does He expect me to give Him my entire life? Fast forward about four years. I'm eating lunch with my oldest sister, a philosophy major, no less. She tells me how she experienced almost the exact same thing I did. And after an inward struggle of four years, finally I had the courage to admit my Agnosticism to myself. I simply did not know. How could I? But now I'm left to deal with my friends, and most of all my mother. I should not feel guilty for my beliefs, or lack thereof. I am an agnostic. I am a humanist. I am on fire.

All My Friends Are Christians: The Story of the Closeted Agnostic

Hey there, little light bulb. Look beneath your sunny glow. There lie a dozen empty flower pots filled with seeds waiting to grow. Hey there, little light bulb. Stay lit, please don't turn off. You're the life of the empty flower pots and for their seeds you're warm enough. Hey there little light bulb. You've got quite a job to do. Give those seedlings energy and bring plants to life anew. Hey there, little light bulb, did you see that little sprout? It's because of your great energy that this sprout could come on out. Hey there, little light bulb, be proud of what you've done. You've made the first sprouts rise and their journey's just begun. Hey there, little light bulb. I know you're getting tired, but look at all the growing plants! It's something to be admired. Hey there, little light bulb. I'm sad you died today, but in place of your sweet energy are a thousand trees to stay. By: Kevin Kurt Nepomuceno

The Strong Little Light Bulb
He drives a gray Subaru I get in the passenger seat He turns on nirvana I don't want to But I can't Help it I begin to weep He asks what's wrong I can't explain He turns it off I thank him Until Radiohead Water falls from my eyes once more I shouldn't be in this car I should be riding my bike beside yours

She dragged a steak knife   across her forehead. I said,    What the **** is your-- Hey, we all have problems. She killed herself with the memory    of a system. Everyone was begging. Beg. Beg. Beg.    Make me a star!! I want to be    Kurt Cobain!! So, they dragged blades and did smack. Tweeted lyrics and took selfies with a poster of-- But she was never alive, right? There can't be a her if there's a me. But I suppose what it condensed is bound to   shoot out into itty     bitty stars. Good ******* Christ, redeem the men and women slaughtering genitals. Grinding against   the hole in society. Are you ******* serious?   Oh my god, I will die if he takes off    his skin!! What a hunk. It was all elaborate and people were saying   "droll". That's a thing. Everyone was ******* lame. Then, the men stripped. One, Jupiter. One, Titan. And what was stopped was a hurried whisper, traveling the confines of the classroom.   And the men clothed. And the instruments   unused. Sketches ceased before creation. Paint without purpose. What a Greek tragedy. Boo-fucking-hoo. What I could only imagine a slurry of too many words aiming at my brain. The mention of us all. You don't understand. **** you. She dragged a steak knife across her forehead. I said,    What the **** is your problem?

Certificate of Achievement
Sometimes you close your eyes, Hoping for Nirvana But then you realize Kurt Cobain shot himself twice: Once with ****** Once with a shotgun. You figure that if Buddha can't save you, Who will?

The Super Heroes of Rock! There’s a little person named Gem, with a banjo in his hands; But he’s too drunk to play. There’s a guy with one arm and he’s slamming the drums And I think his name is Dave. Jenny plays the Bass, with a rash on her face And she’s going to die today. The lead guitarist (Jimmy) has no legs, But he always tries his best. But his lack of fingers and thumbs, Is starting to become a pain And the fact I can’t sing! Well it doesn’t mean a thing, Because we’re not even getting paid to play. No we’re not, getting paid to play. Because we’re the Super Heroes of Rock! And we came to save the day. Yeah we’re the Super Heroes of Rock! And we came to save the day. When Kurt decided today was the day And put a bullet hole in place of his face, They called the Super Heroes of Rock! To come and save the day. And when Black Sabbath crashed the plane And Axl cancelled the show again. They called the Super Heroes of Rock! To come and save the day. The little person, Gem, he used to sing, But a girl named Lisa broke his banjo string, So now he simply comes to our shows And joins us up on the stage. He used to be the ladies favorite, But now he’s lost all of his confidence. Because he hit the bottle hard And he hasn’t been the same since. But we’re the Super Heroes of Rock! And we’ve come to save the day. We’re the Super Heroes of Rock! And we’ve come to save the day. And if there’s nothing else I can say, I guess we’ll just rock the show our way. Because we’re the Super Heroes of Rock! And we came to save the day. And ladies there’s no need to fight; Just come and form an orderly line. Then come and be the bands groupies; With us back stage. And the fact that I can’t sing! Well that doesn’t change a thing. Because we’re the Super Heroes of Rock! And we do this voluntarily, anyway. We jump into empty gigs slots, When a band’s singer has lost the plot. We’re the rehab missionaries And we don’t get paid to play. Because we’re the Super Heroes of Rock! And we’ve come to save the day. Yeah we’re the Super Heroes of Rock! And we came to save the day. And if our music isn’t your thing; Well we already know we stink. But we’re the Super Heroes of Rock! And we only came to save the day. Could you give us back Jimmy’s false legs? He only wanted to try and crowd surf. Things are already bad enough for him, What with the leprosy and he’s just lost his girl And I think Jenny has died, I can see Dave’s put a drumstick in his eye. But we’re the Super Heroes of Rock! And we’ve come to save the day. Yeah we’re the Super Heroes of Rock! And we’ve only come to save the day. Yeah we’re the Super Heroes of Rock! And our music will never be stopped. Because we’re the Super Heroes of Rock! And we’ve only came to save the day. (C)2011 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
