Poem of the Month - April 2019
Poetry Contest Description
What have you read that's awesome!
So sorry, but with spring's arrival the worm has been busy composting ... without further delay ...
Greetings, Fellow Poets! It's time for our "Poem of the Month" to be featured in the DUP 'Poem of the Month Hall of Fame' and on the official facebook page for April 2019!.
You have three weeks to nominate no more than two of you favorite poems from another DUP poet!
Please note the following when making nominations:
1. Self nominations are not accepted. The great majority of the competitions here are about spotlighting one's own work on a particular topic or theme. This is a chance to nominate that poem that you wish you had written but some other great talent here beat you to it.
2. Please limit your nominations to TWO poems. You can nominate a single poem for two different poets; but the nomination maximum remains at TWO (no matter how many pseudonyms they have). The majority of competitions on DUP cap nominations at one or two poems so there's no need to go beyond that.
No DUPLICATES. If someone nominates the same poem the entry will be deleted. If you like it that much wait and vote for it!
Any genre except erotica or pornography. This is a Facebook feature and we must adhere to their guidelines.
BIG CHANGE:
ALL POETS ARE ELGIBLE AT THIS TIME, INCLUDING PREVIOUS WINNERS!
Any member who is banned or disables their account PRIOR to the win will be automatically disqualified.
Any nominated member who wishes to opt out of the competition may do so by messaging me ( Poem-Worm ). I will contact the person who nominated you and request an alternate nomination.
Nomination Duration is three weeks followed by a week of site voting!

Another Bad Po-em re: grief
grief drills in with
a bit too sharp
for any compromise
I cannot conjure pretty little
butterflies (of you)
flitting about to remind
that your in some
fucking Better Place
looking down from bloody
Heaven.
you are Gone....gone forever.
That's all there is of you.
there's Nothing left
Blessed be the time you were here,
Bedamned the day you left.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Inception - Day One
How dim these lights might seem in evening sun
But still they flare, their flame to call us back
To places’ time where fear would have us run,
In dancers’ time that breathless feeds our lack.
The Ancient Eagle cries and mountains ring,
As if their screams might sing our worlds to dust.
My heart picks up their song and so I sing,
And beat the drums and dance this ancient lust.
With somber screams no wounded night will hear,
From mountain smoke and bone and mud I wake,
To join the hymn of flesh and love severe,
To drink the bitter blood in life’s partake.
In flares and scalding heart, time’s rebegun!
How dim these lights might seem in evening sun.

Morning's Rise – Day Two
Fast running feet on mountain loam,
With baying dog that runs behind,
A wood that tastes like wind and roam,
Of sunlit pools and melon rind.
In brothers’ yelps and screams descend,
Fast running feet on mountain loam.
We raid the dumps, attacks pretend,
For Playboy mags and Styrofoam.
With sun low bent and calls for home,
Through sandstone spires and redneck roads,
Fast running feet on mountain loam,
With hopes of stew and pie “ah ha-mode.”
We wash – “make sure behind your ears”
With snapping towels, and mustache foam,
We pray in rhymes, “sweet dreams” appear,
Fast running feet on mountain loam.

Departure
things I planned to say
when it came right down to it
voice failed me again
all those words I felt
seemed unnecessary then
hearts and tears speak best
you’ve helped me be brave
countless times – but now I fail –
scared to close this door
go be awesome now
heed your call – I’m always here
and we’ll sing again
