INCROWD

Hi guys. Good morning/afternoon/evening/night delete were appropriate. I had not heard of the word Shibboleth untill reading this prompt. i love new words so thank you #RDP for introducing me to this one.

https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2021/07/18/rdp-sunday-shibboleth/

Shibboleth of the IN crowd,

Not for us poets of societies fringe,

We have our very own Shibboleth.

Jargon of the IN crowd,

Not for us poets of societies peripheral,

We use more jargon than is fashionable.

Slang of the IN crowd,

Not for us poets of societies outskirts,

We use a vocabulary all our own.

Limited are the IN crowd,

Not us poets of societies margins,

We don’t limit our words to those in vogue.

#FOWC #repose

dverse have invited us into the garden. beware gnaugty gnomes below.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear,

The gnomes have taken over,

The garden needs a repose,

The calm it has been broken,

The gnomes have taken over,

Their hooligan ways a menace,

All the flowers they have trampled,

All the weeds they have planted,

All the gardeners hard work undone,

Reinstating nature’s bounty,

Who repose is this?

that the gnomes fight for!

An invite to quadrille have i received with the word juke. to me there is only one juke and that is the jukebox.

Which three for my coin?

With thanks from my,

Flagging spirits,

Jukebox lights my night

My sagging mood

Lifted by its three

Three tunes have

Chosen my mood

Life force reinstated.

My essence Jukeboxed

With three tunes for a coin

Every Friday it calls

Greifs Slippery Slope.

a continuation of the Draco verse”epistles” between him and his wife. This one added for the #FOWC daily word promt “Slope” on sat 10/7/2021.

Dear Draco,

Found Lazuli’s grave have I,

My self-loathing a slippery slope,

We sold his morrows for what?

Slanted melancholy morals awakened.

My self-loathing a slippery slope,

Created by Victorian rejection,

Of our steampunk principles.

We sold his morrows for What?

For the living dead’s immortality,

So, we can share our love eternally.

Slanted melancholy morals awakened,

Does our passion deserve to exist forever?

I ask at Lazuli’s slope head grave.

Yours in eternity

Black Widow.

Dearest Black Widow,

Lazuli’s morrows meant everything to everyone.

Our self-loathing is worthless,

Slanted melancholy morals awakened,

Highlighting the balance required!

Our self-loathing is worthless,

It gives nothing to our being,

Our beloved darkness a blessing.

Slanted melancholy morals awakened,

Tilted towards darkness for balance,

We balance humanities love of the light.

Highlighting the balance necessary,

Is why Lazuli’s morrows were sold,

Leaving him buried at slopes head, so our love lives eternal.

Forever yours Draco.
