Best Postmodern Poems


Premium Member Postmodern Nostalgia
A covert curtain raiser pulls a string and marvels at an epic scene

	Though parsimonious in essence the stage appears rather obscene

		Black cross and pitch dark raven on bold charcoal sable tapestry

			Ragged clairvoyant who twiddles cross bones by Caron's decree


The program had promised naked clarity and...

Taxes Tea Postmodern
get a job 
get a wife 
and a cheap PC
 things 
to survive postmodern strife
living in a world after LSD 
the world so deranged
I've come to get my diagnosis 
so they can capitalize on my illnesss
and all the things I'd rather be
in this state slavery's...

Postmodern Blues

Our bare-footed ancestors
Diligently traversed the grassy pathways
On rustling vegetation air walked along
Sunshine and rain in turn tiptoed
To bestow canopy of reverence
They wished us to watch
Soil sprouting bliss
Hills rolling down lush carpet
Pristine waters meandering around
The way they watched them doing
Tomorrow was all that mattered!
As tomorrow...

Postmodern Scooter
They watch, they see, not telling thee of their eyes everywhere
In your house, your bed, following you anywhere
on scooters woven in faux green, yelling tell you look
large and seated, tracking you, looking for what you took
RUN RUN, for they cannot, they paint themselves in dance

The Post In Postmodern
he rubbed his eyes
and said you just think that way
so you always have an answer ready
which may well constitute
a state of pure entertainment
with multiple jaw grinding orgasms
in a dog lick dog kind of world
at Cathode Ray's tanning salon
so what would it really take
for the union...

Premium Member Deliverance ---
over there..>
lost time leaking away

collapse not into temptation
grant me/us peaceful solitude 
deliver us/me from erratum
inert/confined/lost
entangled in a weary knot
buried in dusty debris
suffocated by icy cobwebs
burned & frozen
begging for deliverance
longing for liberation
yearning to be untangled
thunder over water
deliverance?

lost life leaking into the past
<..over here...

Premium Member Dances of Vibrating Rituals
No Exit
musicians hide behind scarring sounds
beyond madness
beyond folly
beyond Somewhere Everywhere

dance with delirious determination
through fragments of melodious folly

dissonant dulcimers declare 
repetitive chords
within punctuated digital drones

repetitive beyond vibration
vibrating beyond repetition

percussive rituals vibrate 
beyond inflated vaudevillians 
mutating into
mad cacophonous comedic collisions

rituals beyond vibrating cacophony
rituals behind chaotic vibrations

deranged vibraphones...

Premium Member March of the Taunting Tercets
Sitting on a global seesaw
Play a universal keyboard
Show (don't TELL) discordant sounds

Kneel to Ultimate Disruption
Flood the zone with zoonosis
We've got your mess uncovered

O the weaponized muse!
Wait for humanity to make an appearance
March through grumpy gamma rays

Forget a nuclear shootout
Promote a Swan Lake retirement
A soft landing...

Premium Member House of Cliches
I rest my case
on a house of cards
(that)
hit the nail on the head
(of) the nail in the coffin
(that)
hit the ground running
where the rubber hits the road
(while)
time flies when you’re having fun
in the nick of time
(and)
all’s well that ends well
all is fair in love and war
(let’s...

en*L*I*G*H*T*ened babbling shocks
burst out of bubbling rocks
bright spots erupt over a smoldering landscape
(hot inflation begets Pomp & Circumlocution)

snowballs explode in a gritty paradise
yellow dust smothers moaning misfits
balloons hover over missing minds
(Look on the BRIGHT side!)

it’s simply a B*r*I*g*H*t uproar
skyscraping warriors lock & load
happily pull heat-seeking...

market sell-off
mass outflows hit every asset
all indices in the red
we have to navigate the next few months
Fed insistent on 2% target
these currency moves are pretty significant
the macro factor is the Fed
indiscriminate selling
the bubble is deflating
a recession is/is not imminent
rotation away from goods and toward services
