Winner for Augusts Poem of the Month:

A withering flame
draws life from Spring's canopy
and calls for decay.

Shorter is sometimes better. Not always, but if you can capture a picture and point in so few words it's a wonderful thing. In this poem we were shown a breath of summer without listing and describing typical summer things. Beauty captured in a single sentence.

Congrats errant.

September Poem of the Month Winner:

World of Sorrow

A wilderness of bliss,
In this garden-world of pain, alive
A kiss revealed all this,
As my world of sorrow died
To howl and moan and hiss,
At the sex and greed we find
To pain I’ll not submit,
Becoming sight among the blind…
…A paradise of vice,
In this underworld of love, decayed
Scar me twice, a lover’s price,
The pure of heart must pay
Feed on greed and sacrifice,
Our union falls away
Mistrusted lust our sole device,
And the bringer of all pain

Octobers poem of the month winner:

Turkey

In splattered timebomb, reckless fatigue,
You look up from your shredded chicken bone,
Chin dirty, long working day,
Head heavy, cry yourself to sleep again.

Bloody pigs in the backyard, do this, do that,
Your hands play piano on the meat juice table,
Eyes laughing, silent disease,
Broken back, freeze they scream, motherfucker freeze.

Its Sunday, the year after your dirty chicken night,
What a sorry fucking sight, in your cell again,
Noone's bailing you out this time I guess,
Momma told me to tell you, confess, confess, confess.

Its another winter morning, almost turkey day,
Trembling house with the past screaming inside,
Daddy never touched you, you dirty chicken boy,
Daddy gave you food and shelter, lemonade and toys.

Sitting in your cell again, rocking back and forth,
Silly chicken boy, why didn't you let it ride,
The paranoia mind of yours playing with your head,
Told you once, told you twice, now your Daddy's dead.

Congrats man, I really enjoyed this poem. It conveyed a story that was morbid, and still made me chuckle. Good stuff in that.
