So, I write poetry.Because I can make my own rules.If you don’t like it.Don’t read it. I hate the grammar nazis;who correct my mistakes,And make themselves feel great.Continue reading “My Poems”

Things We Can’t Write About
Truth Poetry by Chris Bunton There are things.Things that we can’t write about. Things we can’t speak of,Lest we open doors of destruction. What sort of things?You might ask, prying. Do you not know?Are you perfect in every way? I’m speaking of those sins,we commit, which never see the light of day. Those lusty affairs,ThatContinue reading “Things We Can’t Write About”

Rising Sun
A Spring Time English Quintain Rising sun breaks the early chill,stirring the wild from a long cold sleep.Spring flowers bursting on the hill,with dark Red Buds in forests deep,under fluffy clouds, white like sheep.

We Don’t Trust Them
Rebel Poetry By Chris Bunton We don’t trust them.Those giants who rule the Earth;those fallen ones who stole our dominion. We don’t trust them.Those royal descendants of “gods”;those of the divine blood line. Why should we trust them?They live in castles even today,while we still cower in caves. Why should we trust them?From days ofContinue reading “We Don’t Trust Them”
Smitten
Sonnet by Chris Bunton He was smitten with love for her;by that arrow deep and sure.A gooey warmth between them;filling the heart all within. But, loves shaft, festered, stinking foul;to gangrenous, aching howl.Through steamy glass his love moaned;as he stood outside alone. Those barbs cannot be reversed;holding fast in a soul feeling cursed.Longing for theContinue reading “Smitten”
