what a great word for tonight’s #quadrille here @ #dverse hope it flies.
Metal moth #quadrille.
#morals?
This moth’s wings were dipped,
Dipped in stainless steel then programmed.
Programmed to spread the word,
“Future proofed” will it fly,
Fly on wings of man’s genius.
Because we have wonderous knowledge,
Should we choose to let it loose.
On wings dipped in steel.

thank you, Lillian, for a fun prompt this evening @ #dversepoetspub. where you are talking about the razzie awards hopefully my limerick is not a razzie recipient.
Raspberry’s yawl.
#razziespoem, #dverse.
They were the lonely ladies of raspberry city,
Lived alone and only ever spoke a little ditty,
Until they each drank a raspberry cocktail,
Then chatted so much they forgot to exhale,
Now their appearance looks awfully shitty.

moonset
MOONSET. #PROSERY
I am a lover of the moonlight. Dressing in black with heavy white makeup most nights. My friends of evening do not recognise me in my lacklustre office attire knowing me as knight. My work colleagues unaware of my nights as a wandering poet.
Once upon a drunken endeavour my real friends and I discussed our grave markers and what we wished written upon them. Sat in a restaurant sharing an evening meal with oodles of red wine joking it was blood. We saved our obituaries on the social media group we share as friends. Sky street is its name. sharing stories of life, love and death.
“In the street of the sky night walks. Scattering poems.” Will appear on the plaque above my final resting place. Where I have asked to be entombed at the moonset on the anniversary of my timely demise.
This piece of flash fiction was written for a prompt left at #dversepoetrypub by Linda Lee on 07/11/2022

the line “In the street of the sky night walks scattering poems.” is from the poem tulips and chimneys by E E Cummings.
#Fowc harmony
De from whimsygizmo hosted #dversepoetspub this evening prompting a scare.
I have also included the word harmony from #fowc.
bring out them heads
Scarecrow Harmony.
#Quadrille (scare), #fowc (harmony)
Twas a dark and scary night,
At the scarecrow harmony,
Building night of the next,
Generation.
Two headed harmonies,
From plastic Halloween head ideas to,
Next year’s scarecrows made in spring,
This consecrated Halloween party,
Is scarecrow harmony,
On a dark and scary night.

This evening Punam is hosting letting us know about the language crossover words between Indian languages and English. Punam has given a list of us to choose from I have gone with Hullabaloo, Shampoo, juggernaut and bandana. so, while India and other Hindu around the world celebrate Diwali. I have gone with a light rhyming form which I enjoy the limerick.
There was a bear called Hullabaloo,
Who could not bear to use shampoo,
Spending his days eating honey,
Always sticky and finding it funny,
His mother knew not what to do.
There was yoga juggernaut called Yogi,
Who was to heavy and slow to boogie,
She Took to wearing a bandana,
Before learning to play the old Johanna,
Now when she dances, no longer a rookie.
