Since I haven't really gotten a response to my stuff in my other topic, maybe making a topic just for this one will do it. Anyway, this is something I wrote yesterday. I got the idea for the first few lines as I woke up yesterday after sleeping through a class. As I was groggily standing up, they just popped into my head, and when I got to my next class I just sat down and started writing. It has a much crazier setup, kind of like an E.E. Cummings poem, but I can only put things at the beginning of lines here, so it doesn't look as good. And I suck at giving things titles and names, so this is a generic title for now. (Name now replaced by Monster!)

Monster!

Crash, boom -
Cacophony rouses the
beast from
slumber -
Lumbering out
of raging seafoam -
Swooping down from
treacherous eyrie-
Rising from dusty grave
to feast
on the living!

Roar, screech -
Enraged after long
hibernation - cut short -
Aiming to crush
society -
Burning civilians with
laser
eyes -
Devastating all in
its path -
Raze!

Rumble, crack -
Destroying the
usurpers
to take back
its rightful
earth -
Destroy or be destroyed -
It growls, screams, roars -
"For they are the real
monsters" -
Metaphorically speaking.

EDIT: Add on to it this one that I wrote today, which is kind of along the same lines. In my pre-calculus class, we were talking about calculating the half-lives of radioactive materials, and thinking about radioactive chemicals inspired this poem, which I wrote right then and there. Again, I wish I could arrange these better on the forum, because this one is very radical, but the best I can do is put each word on the line that it goes on.

Apocalyptic Radiation

Ooze
radioactive decay
eats life
mutated corruption
nuclear
power proliferating
civilization

Gargantuan insects
roaming the
wasteland
fallout shelters
of canned goods
only haven
of humanity

Bleak
who's to blame?
apocalyptic
devastation
of burning refuse
there are
no gods
here.

Slime
victims erode
in bubbling
sludge
implements of
technology
spell the
end -
inevitable -
warheads or no -

Man walks
the path
of
doom
find the
answer now
or fall victim
to your
own
devices.



EDIT #2: If you want to see what these poems should actually look like, check out my blog. Also, I came up with a better name for Monster Poem.

wow! those are alot like E.E cummings except you didn't use his made up words like "mudlucious" or "puddle wonderfull" lol :P

Yeah, cummings was actually my big influence on those two. These are much less radical than a lot of his work, but they're still fairly unorthodox. I like 'em.

They're very chaotic, which isn't a bad thing. Not bad at all.

I still don't have any real interest to poems in general, but I don't mind reading stuff that is worth reading.
