Elvis Alive!
Humpty Dumpty fell
And the crash was heard by all
Still, they said, don’t tell
False flags and footprints
Just like that infamous bell
Preexisting cracks
A story to sell
Elvis alive in freefall
Spinning carrousel
This is in response to two different challenges. One was to write a nine-line verse with this rhyme scheme: a b a c a d a b a, with c and d unrhymed.
The second was to address the notion of the Mandela Effect. I’m not sure if this qualifies, as it’s a non-narrative way to riff about some infamous (or ridiculous) notions, including conspiracies about 9/11, school shootings, the moon landings, and Elvis, but here it is.

unseen, a lone heart
beating in rhythm, unheard
devotion on loan

lilacs & sunshine
the blush of springtime
happy colors, painted toes
lilacs and sunshine
still
her heart still exposed
cracked open and still bleeding
still it’s not enough
Thanks to Sadje.
