let me come back later tonight
when it feels right
when poems slip through darkness of late night
to form words in invisible ink write

Bizarre living is like squeezing orange juice toothpaste on burnt milktoast from a saradine can early at night in the darkness of the morning.

When oversexed barn owls roost on telephone poles to the snores of the grim reaper,
Violet franks raise their glasses to the setting moon.

Lamp shades quickly gaze at mild frost as it slides up a melted butter knife,
Wives cry out for moustache clippers in broken boats.

Crazy kids with lunch box shaped elbows make good grades in school,
Not for anythink for it may have tasted like automobile brake peddles.

“ Within ”

Philology is your thing
The roots of knowledge
Empty but alive

Care has meaning
How much inside
Dazzle us delight us embrace us

Not to fret of tubes or tweets
Look listen see within

Not to muse of who you need to be
You are you
Be true focus
Light glimmers within

Not to wonder hard
Float free of mind
Understand pain inside
Seek out you…

Koba…

An utterance of silence,

my ear heard a whisper of sweetness to the senses
filling a void with climax,
A rain absorbed, Fruits filled anew,
flowers on bees in symbiotic joining.

Gently, the vines entwining o’er lattice
hanging off with nothing more to reach, but sky.

Deeper knowing of virtue has touched my ear,
I feel you o’er all my being.

The Blue Tattoo

I remember that we didnt know her that well,
and her house always seemed to have a funny smell,
I'd say," Aw, mom, do we have to stay?"
She'd say," boy, go on outside and play."
But then I got older and I learned to listen,
while her and momma were drinking coffee in the kitchen,
and I realized her tattoo was no childhood mistake,
like so many of my friends would go on to make.
It was old and sloppy and had a faded hue,
it wasn't a tribal, a band, or anything I ever knew.
She never alluded to it so I had to ask her,
not knowing if I really wanted to know the answer.
My mom said,"shh!"; she said,"thats all right, Ellen;
I think hes old enough for the story I have to tell him."
So I sat there spellbound for the next week or two,
as she told me the horrors of the blue tattoo.
Her right hand would rub her left forearm,
as if subconciously trying to wipe it away,
but I learned that tattoo was made in blood,
that 6 million had to pay,
that tattoo was made in blood,
that 6,000,000 had to pay.

Knowing we were full German, so close to the end of the war,
she had to wonder about the reaction she was in for.
But she was proud, chin up, looked my mother right in the eye,
as she told us the story of how each family member died.
Mom and I visited for the rest of the year,
our friend soon to be lost,
mostly because of the treatment by the nazis,
during The Holocaust.
and while she lay sleeping, i'd look at The Blue Tattoo,
trying to imagine the horror and pain she'd been through
As I held her hand in mine,"Brian, remember",
I'd hear her softly say,
"This tattoo was made in blood,
that 6 million had to pay."
That tattoo was made in blood,
that 6,000,000 had to pay.

Never Again,Never Again.

This is the most passionate, inspiring and emotive poem I have ever witnessed. It has so much depth, passion and subtle layers of meaning, that a repeated recital is often required. Many have been moved to tears by the sensitive delivery of the orator. I'm sure you’ll agree with my sentiment.

REVENGE

1st verse
Woke up yesterday morning
wonderin' if tomorrow would ever come
turn my face up into a snow blizzard
wishin' for April sun
Listening with my ear to the stairwell
for the indians down the hall
living this lonely life of vengence
got me climbing straight up the wall

Chorus
I'm just a backstreet schemer
from way back when
a plumbers pipe dreamer
with a pocket full of sin
if you want, I'll break your heart
I'll be laughin' all the way
but if you wanna cross swords with me ,oh lord
you're gonna have a heavy price to pay

2nd verse
Searching for answers to questions
that keep on haunting me
like a ship without a captain
set onto the lonely sea
when I find the indian who caused me so much anguish
don't know what I'm gonna do
but that pocketful of sin'll come in handy
I'm gonna wear it like an old leather shoe
Yeah,devil gonna make him pay his due

(Chorus)
(Lead)

3rd verse
Now I've finally done the deed
don't know what I'm gonna do
but I know if I fall to my knees
He'll help me see it thru
he'll let me in
forgive my sin
let me in
forgive my sin
(Fadeout)

For this is our teacher, for you are our teacher

But it's not just the words that make thus Hot For Words

So much more going on just behind the scene
For this is our teacher, creative video photographer
For this is our teacher, a true business entrepreneur
For this is our teacher, progressively inspirational
For this is our teacher, really quite sensational
For this is our teacher, yeah, she's clever clever clever
For this is our teacher, for you are our teacher

Creative video production she proved it isn't easy
Bugs were crushed quickly with a most persevering quality
Balls to walls message with true motivational transparency
For this is our teacher, the hardest working creature
For this is our teacher, the universe her oyster
For this is our teacher, where anything is possible
For this is our teacher, nothing will ever stop her
For this is our teacher, yeah, a champion of character
For this is our teacher, for you are our teacher

Physically she is amazing form head to tippy toes
Legs go on forever how far we'll never really know
Many change of colours adorn her wardrobe nest
For this is our teacher, captivation ally dressed pink orange red
For this is our teacher, respectful sensuality perfect as a charm
For this is our teacher, would be so proud to have her on your arm
For this is our teacher, a spokes person for women's lib
For this is our teacher, oops and what I wouldn't give
For this is our teacher, for you are our teacher

Look into those eyes you'll soon be mesmerised
Hypnotic seductions transfixed the strongest of minds
Softly spoken smiles genuine grow attraction is wild
For this is our teacher, cause and effect romancing
For this is our teacher, mentally she is dancing
For this is our teacher, playing fun and games
For this is our teacher, never ceases to dazzle or ever to amaze
For this is our teacher, a lorelei calling oops I digress again
For this is our teacher, for you are our teacher

So when all is said and done another show is over
The class room livens up again speaking in full volume
lessons always continue causing further debate
Detention too for those concerned who continue to be late
For this is our teacher, making all words a pleasure
For this is our teacher, educating all who see her
For this is our teacher, Hot For Words mania
For this is our teacher, Ms Lady Marina Orlova
For this is our teacher, for you are our teacher

And for those of you causing Marina lots of stupid beef
Eat your words amigos as intellectually you sound retarded not geek
What ever the words you say know matter how they're addressed
It's only a true reflection of what you say and do best
For this is our teacher, number one of the world
For this is our teacher, absolute solid universal gold
For this is our teacher, tapping her happy feet
For this is our teacher, she makes intelligence so sexy so sweet
For this is our teacher, all can learn ever so much
For this is our teacher, for you are our teacher

Teacher of the Universe Week premier pole well deserved
Should be an Earthling ambassador to each, everyone and all
If sense prevails with voters the story shall soon unfold
It would be an injustice if this wasn't to be so
For this is our teacher, she is on top of the world
For this is our teacher, a unique remarkable soul
For this is our teacher, is the kindest to a fault
For this is our teacher, her love a guiding light for all
For this is our teacher, everything in life with her feels so right
For this is our teacher, for you are our teacher

Dream of the day with a chance to meet her, mouth already dry so know need to bet here
Will have to make do for now being teachers pet, oops here I go again time for a reality check
When I say I love her I'm not feeling insecure, just get kinda nervous in the face of true inner beauty that's all
For this is my teacher, my divine inspiration
For this is my teacher, photo in pink as my screen saver
For this is my teacher, so love her to bits
For this is my teacher, I send a soft sensual strawberry kiss
For this is my teacher, held all in my heart
For this is my teacher, for you are my teacher

For you are our teacher, our Hot For Words leader
For you are our teacher, Ms Lady Marina Orolva
For you are our teacher, the Universe needs you
For you are our teacher, everyone should really be more like you
For you are our teacher, your class room adores you
For you are our teacher and for this we all thank you but most of all,
I think I speak everyone when we all say, Marina we love you

“The Distance In Us”

My armor shines for you,
Stunned quick my end will be,
I am devoured as I fall at your feet.

The will of the people decide a fate, or so they think.

“Love hard” to grow, pain a must.
“Dies hard” ‘endearing love’ a journey.

Explore the unseen spirit, for the hands freeze not.
The star is born again,
Bring forth new life for you can.

Godless in my favor,
The death of love can not be,
The death of life is less to be.

Walking along the riverbank
then through some tall grass
skipped some stones along the pond
a sight to see did my eyes beholden
upon bluest eyes ever
did mine land
sitting in a cafe
sophisticated
yet sexy intelligent
and geek savvy
a white fluffy doggy with paws a resting
on the shoulder straps of her open purse bag
through the shiny glass window
wearing a pair of thick black spectacles
held together with some sticky medical tape
reading a magazine article
said:
"Our capacity for innovation is as limitless as our appetites"

So I walked inside to get a cupcake with sprinkles
and sat down next to her table
"Hey there" "Don't mind if I sit down here...what is your lil' doggy's name?"
she pressed her well manicured hands down firmly across the spine of the magazine
she had been reading
"Gorby"
suddenly I became captivated by her ethereal presence
unlike any sort of confused frustrated hyperbole
that had ever thus disgraced the contours of my tiny birdlike skull
and that smile
yet sexy as non pasterized yogurt
with a full week of left over expiration date

Just then Martin shows up
propping his skateboard next to my seat
"Who is this snob?"
aghast at this outburst my words came out hard like strained peas through a drinking straw
"For your information Martin..
Then I started to think real fast
{quick! come up with a name, and fast you idiot!}
..this is Miss Hot For Words"
and it seemed to make sense
holy crap I lucked out!

nothing can describe the rest of that afternoon

[/b][b]Shalom, Salaam…?

By: P.D.

From penitent and chastened knees, we rise up with calm assurance of the substance of our vision.
We lower our holy hands, while raising our expectations for answers to our petitions.

We open our hearts and homes
without expectation or limitations,
not at all blind to the darkness
that tries to bind and distract us from our purpose.
We chose to look to the light and believe for the best,
preferring to see the wretched and evil transformed,
the broken things rebuilt,
the afflicted healed and whole.

We shall give our very best to be the peacemakers…
not just to resolve the issues in conflict,
but to leave in our passing
a world, where nothing’s missing
and nothing’s broken.

It's not about poetry, but... What would it be, if that psychopath Eminem rapped about Hotforwords instead of Lindsay or Britney? I think he would write something like that:

SAME SONG AND DANCE - 3rd VERSE

My second victim was even hotter than the first,
Youtube star, icon, Hotforwerds,
She played a sexy teacher when she first burst,
Infronta the webcam and thought the world was hers,
She was kissing the camera and her pronanc-, [must be an Eminem-style rhyme]
iation was so bad that it hurts,
It hurt my ears and made me mad at first,
Alas after hundreds vids of that girl,
Thang that was really going on was
I had developed a crush, it's my flaw,
I just didn't know how to tell it to her,
Should I pick one of my eyes out and mail it to her?
Send her pictures of the collection of dictionaries I have?
Tonight, tonight is the night and tell her I must,
Creep up to her apartment when she's naked and just,
Go to her flat and knock the door, say 'hello my dear',
I've just come to bring you a parcel with the dictionaries you've always willed
Now would you like to take it, you seen the blood from my vena
cava, I've cut it and I'm bleeding of love for you Marina,
I'll trade you the whole world for just one kiss,
You even dunno how freakin' hard I miss
you ooh ooh girl you sexy Russian gal, you
Give me one of your books it will get sentimental value,
Come on, toots, give me Neurogasm alley-oop,
I'm gonna be drinkin' it all night till I puke,
And just tell me girl why you're trembling, are you spooked?
I'm in love with you girl, but ain't you?
A new outfit, shit, you look still so sexy
I'm gonna take your corpse with me, sorry I must shoot,
Now tell why you hate me, you lexical anorexic,
I even said nothing 'bout your boobs.

Yeah baby do that dance,
It's the last dance you'll ever get the chance to do,
Girl shake that a.s,
You ain't never gonna break that glass,
That windshield's too strong for you,
I said yeah baby sing that song,
It's the last song you'll ever get the chance to sing,
You sexy little thing,
Show me what you got,
Give it your all,
Look at you ball,
Why you crying to me,
Same song and dance.
