This one guy

Daily writing promptWho do you spend the most time with?View all responses

Most of my time
With this one guy

A bit of a brute
Whines a bit too

Easily distracted
Fine when focused

Chatty to a fault
Could listen better

Too many stories
Back to work, man

Not sure what to do
Stuck here with me

Authors note, is anyone else getting crushed with obvious spam lately? My filter captures it but at this point I’m using it as a metric for overall reach. “I must have done well today, 35 spam comments, last month it was only 10.”

I’m on Facebook, there I’ll be able to communicate with people more directly, and also have more writing updates, beyond daily musings and light bits of poetry.

By any other name…

Daily writing promptIf you had to change your name, what would your new name be?View all responses

What is in a name?
Would you or I,
by any other name…

Guilty by association
Shape your identity
Collaborative creation

Branded with history
Future in the making
We each tell our story

What is in a name?
Whatever we decide
After all, it is only a name

Hot cocoa bar, think about it

Daily writing promptDescribe your dream chocolate bar.View all responses

I was going to make a joke about two guys walk into a bar, a hot cocoa bar. But then it wasn’t very well written, or funny. I’m pretty boring when I can’t even think of much to say about chocolate…

Regardless, new poem with a bit more meat on it is here:
Poetic Poets Poetry

As a side note, maybe I’m internet burnt out. But I haven’t seen much interesting going on with social media and the like. Of course when everything is dramatic or over the top funny all the time, it becomes the normal.

Poetic Poets Poetry

Archivists excavates faux articulates
Thesaural exhumations regurgitations
Familiar phantoms theatrical reprisals
Effervescent effluvium recycled chords

Poets poeting poetic poetry
Foolish Flourish fanciful flex
Emotional emotions emoting emotionally
Felt feels feeling feelings

Selfish splendor on decadent display
Loneliness loss a listless lullaby
Angsty attempts at artistic aspirations 
Wordplay wasted on wallowing writers

Amour, rejection, misery, desperation 
Fated sepulcher, narcissistic yearnings
Hollow baubles, empty trinkets gloom
Derelict creations, zephyr squandered

Flotsam dredged hackneyed scrap
Recycled gasps grasp shallow depths
Flatulated passions scripted smears
Ejaculations writ tiresome smirch

Tender hearts beat tearfully in tune
Sheep perambulate scoured contexture
Flocks beset depleted equine cadavers 
Scoured script a blighted landscape

Enlighten audience conscious exploration 
Provision patrons enlightened voyage 
Stoke wonderment, engagement, fancy
Metamorphose audience essence
