a day turns golden
the sea hums a lullaby
sweet blue surrender

Feeling a bit of hope this week. Thanks to Sadje’s WDYS Challenge for giving me a chance to articulate it.
seeking a blue wave
excess vanity
his verbal diarrhea
infecting us all
Trying to purge as I wait (hope / plan / plot) for a curative blue wave.
Thanks for the inspiration to Fandango’s word of the day (verbal) challenge.
the monkey*
the monkey gazes
adoringly at himself
as they kiss his ass
Views are my own but thanks for the inspiration to Ronovan Writes and his challenge to use chimpanzee (which I subbed in monkey) and kiss in a haiku.
*My apologies to actual monkeys, apes, chimps ….

Rising wall of blue
Chaos spins from his still eye

Thanks to Susi at I Write Her for a great photo challenge.
I live in Florida, so obviously Dorian has been on my mind for the last week. Feel free to interpret this piece as a statement on that bitch! Thankfully, we got off pretty lucky here, but the Bahamas were hit HARD. If you can, think about helping. They will need it. You can find links to some legit efforts at Bahama Relief .
But I also live in Trump’s America, so (for me at least) my words have another layer of meaning. Feel free to reinterpret them or guess my thoughts, if you’d like. That’s the beauty of poetry.
Plus, never forget he’s either just an idiot or a thin-skinned shallow narcissistic purposefully-uninformed idiot. #Dorian #nevergonnahitAlabama #doctoredphoto #nicesharpiejob
