Morning glow.
#enchant, #poetry
#dversepoetrypub.
This morning’s glow enchants,
Calling me to the whoosh and the hiss,
Sea rolling up the beach.
Exquisite spring morn mesmerizes,
Enticing me to ignore responsibilities,
Memory of beach at sunrise calls.
Kicking myself for ignoring,
My hearts desires,
Of sunrise at oceans edge.

this evening @ #dversepoetrypub De has invited us to write an enchanted Quadrille.
hi all today we are giving personality to to an abstract feeling or concept. i have chosen to go with “control” from the list given at the pub tonight.
thanks mish @ #dversepoetrypub for a fun prompt.
Freak-a-sauraus.
#quadrille, #personification, #control.
Squinty eyed freaky schemer,
Truly creepy persona,
Second hand car sales creepy.
Control truly,
A real freak-a-sauraus.
Unwashed and smutty,
Smelling of hatred,
Aimed at all who,
Won’t follow his instruction.
Control truly,
A real freak-a-sauraus.
Domestic abuse his thing,
Foul mouthed and unpleasant.

Peer pressure.
#antibullying, #beyourself.
Jam licking,
Licking from biscuit’s heart,
Under pressure from your peers,
Ice cream faced, mud on ya face,
Sticky fingered thieving,
Under peer pressure,
Sucking the jam,
From stolen 🍩 doughnuts,
Peer pressure fun.
What else would u?
Under pressure from peers,
Walk in front of bus?
Watch football?
Rape your sister?
Sell your granny.
Jam licking from child’s toast,
Peer pressure fun,
Wear the latest fun?
Eat the latest cuisine?
Peer pressure fun.
What else would you do?
Under peer pressure,
Let others do your thinking,
Blindly follow orders,
knife your brother,
jump of a cliff,
remember there not your peers!

Penny-washer Blossoms.
#engineringbeauty, #quadrille,
Penny-washer blossoms,
Engraved into my memory.
Sharing delicacy of thought,
Within a ring of shimmering steel.
Tiny art works of steel etched,
With the splendour of nature.
Sharing delicacy of thought,
Within a ring of gleaming steel.
Penny-washer blossoms,
Engraved into my memory.
Perpetually ♾.

Thank you Kim for a really enjoyable #quadrill prompt this evening @ #dversepoetrypub.
the feathers in the picture reminded me of this poem I wrote back in January https://pyscopoet.home.blog/2025/01/07/dance-of-feathers/
Then the Ezra Pound poem " in a station of the metro" inspired this one. with a hint of The Jam down in the tube station at midnight.
Feathered.
Grey feathered vermin’s two-fold existence.
Fed by tourists, despised by locals.
