Lonely Stream!

My lonely stream of words,

Flows on over deaf ears,

This my lonely stream of words,

Springs from my ravaged heart,

This My lonely demoralised stream of words,

Rolls on past ignorant bystanders.

My lonely stream of words,

Reaches this river of refined bards.

Decorously Spaced

https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2021/07/25/three-things-challenge-670/

Two meters, two meters,

It was two meters,

But hurrah they shout,

The petulant minded herd.

It was Two meters,

When they no longer,

Need to be decorously spaced.

But hurrah they shout,

Celebrating restrictions end,

But still contagious.

The petulant minded herd,

Following each other’s insecurities,

Preventing us having decorous space.

Colloquial speech!

today i have just discovered the site one daily prompt. their word for today is cloy.

https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/daily-prompt-links-for-july-2021/

also today i am going with #fowc and their word today coloquial.

https://fivedotoh.com/2021/07/21/fowc-with-fandango-colloquial/

Colloquial speech.

I live within a society who’s thinking cloys.

Their language colloquial,

On the fringe I survive,

Feeling like Van Gough, alienated

With my words of love and peace,

Dystopia not the future, tis the present,

Politicians’ colloquial speech,

Keeping us in the dark ages,

This is a call to the world’s poets,

To spread love and peace,

Swamping the greed and hatred,

Sold to the masses,

By cloying colloquial politicians.

My Murderd Muse!

This evening we have been invited to share a poem about our muse. I have gone with a poem I wrote back in 2019 when as in a dark place and beleived I would never get any of my scribblings heard. with a lot of encouragement from my local poetry group my confidence has inproved. so here it is just for the poets at #DVERSE. A little self belief goes along way.

My Murdered Muse

Ripped from your womb,

With a rusty boat hook,

Was my beloved muse,

By my lazy hand.

A drive by shooting,

By a small-minded fool,

To kill my wonderful muse,

On order my lazy head.

The fools they will never,

Know what I have lost,

Never listening to the,

Heaving of their hearts.

To make others smile,

You my muse were my best,

Lost now to make way for nothing,

BUT ABUSE.

Too tired to use my muse,

Do I love you enough my muse?

To save you from lives,

Stomp, stomp, stomping feet

The night breeze takes me no longer,

To writing in a screen lit dark room,

The muse lays murdered,

In my minds bottom draw,

Left dark, hidden no longer loved.

Sedation of the Senses

Sedated for fandangos #FOWC

https://fivedotoh.com/2021/07/20/fowc-with-fandango-sedate/

Take a break for #RDP

https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2021/07/20/rdp-tuesday-break/

Take a break they said,

Sedation of the senses,

They offered for my woes,

Sit, eat, drink and sleep,

No stimulation to be found,

Isolated from the world,

Thanks to one word,

Positive!

Positive not,

Senses sedated,

Break taken,

Against will,

Mind broken,

Body lethargic,

One more day,

Then I’m free.
