properly mad
the top spins a tall tale
of a glittering lad
too great to fail
but great can be bad
and fake glitter corrodes
so properly mad
the foundation implodes
properly mad
the broken top tries to spin
but it wobbles and falls (SAD)
and finally We the People win
Thanks to FOWC for this chance to vent some wishful thinking in awkward verse.
To all participating in NO KINGS tomorrow, thank you and take care!
Why so glum?
Well … March came in like a lion, and it looks like it’s going out that way as well, not an effing lamb in sight; plus everything is so egregiously awful, how can you NOT be glum?
I just think about the Easter Bunny.
For crying out loud, you’re a full-grown person!
Which is why I’m focusing on the Bunny, because, as Cormac McCarthy said “…you fix what you can fix, and you let the rest go,” and for me, snapping the head off a solid-chocolate bunny sounds like the perfect way to let go while plotting the revolution.
Aaah … Vive la revolution and the Bunny!
It’s been awhile since I’ve written so thanks to the following for my inspiration.
blown by a fierce wind
the wishes ascend and dance
a stalk left bereft
excluded and withering
as new golden life springs forth
Thanks to the following for the inspiration:
waiting for my slot
a couplet comes to my mind
but the muse absconds
as the words vex and annoy
slot will not rhyme with Godot
Just a bit of fun with words today. Thanks to FOWC (SLOT) and RDP (ANNOY).
rummage in the nooks
a life built on faulty ground
a memory lost
two buried in a cranny
the mist becomes a refuge
Here I am–being melancholy again! Still thinking about time passing and aging and all that. Anyway, thanks to RDP (CRANNY) and FOWC (BUILT) for the the inspiration
