I've got rhythm

This is how I relax:

Dangling these gangly appendages from antiquated
monoliths;
I slap comets quick at rocket ships,
and watch the spider gossamer blossom between the plant pots and polyfiller,
Polly will ya,
fill me
in?
You brush your hair
like you were
waxing violin strings.
And this is how I relax?

This how I relax:,
sat
chatting breeze
on a stack of cracked breezeblocks,
These bricks;
street debris the keen breeze knocks,
tipsy pre-teens play leap frog,
we sip red stripe, cheef weed and beatbox,
team strong
team seamless,
each evening seems
a seamstress,
she
weaves these songs
We eat seeds and greet the bleached grieving sun
with green tongues
and keep this thing circular.
And this is how I relax?

This is how I relax:
Tapping boom-bap patterns
into flat pads
scrapping these jazz scat palindromes
on the back of my bhagavad gita,
these precepts ain’t easy to keep,
The bohemian dreams of a lacoste collared geezer.
got lost in the shot bombs and cotched gone on the speakers
next week it’s
pondering lost sonnets for solace in solipsistic retreat
and seeing features sway
and futures wilting in the tea leaves.
And this is how I relax?

I tried to write you something special
and I left my spiral in the rain
It lives within my mind still, mostly
pen in hand, in vain, time is at its end
I will send you my thoughts
at a future time. But for now I am but a rhyme

Seriously guys...you make it too hard on me to choose a winner!!!

First Place
NicodemusReuben for "This is how I relax" - Man, please post this on your poems so I can add it to my reading list! I love your clever wordplay, and even though the rhythm is asymmetrical, it just works so well!

Second Place
rowantree for "To Shout at the Sky" - Damn, the rhythm was perfect! I so wanted to be the first person to award you a trophy! I'm going to keep making competitions geared to you to try to beat anyone else to your first trophy!

Third Place
Ant1-Her0-Project for "Soldiers of Circumstance" -Nice assonance and deep material, keep it up!

Honorable Mentions
Dean D for "Seraphim" - I loved the rhythm and simplicity. Really clever rhyme use of timbre!
Astyanax for "Land of Sleep" - Great rhythm, I was disappointed that I could not comment on your actual poem. I really relate to the insomnia. The last line, using "bay" seemed a bit forced, but the rest of the poem was spot on.

Thanks ( :

It's on my poems now, won't let me post a link. It works better read out loud thought I think, I might post a video at some point.
