Quadrille #231: Making Much of Poems

to much, ooh too much — What’s too much?

Glazed.
#quadrille, #poetryrules, #dversepoetrypub.

Grainy conscience with Bullshit hangover,
Mind glazed over.
.
Aftermath of ignorance,
Kicking common sense

Am I too much?

Glazed eyes reflect,
Back communication.

Aftermath of ignorance,
Kicking common sense

Grainy with Bullshit hangover,
Mind glazed over with ignorance.

Glazed eyes reflect,
Back communication.

thanks to the wonderful quadrille form i have managed to release some of the pressure that is building around me at the moment . Thanks De for tonight’s prompt @ #dversepoetrypub.

RumPus #quadrille

Quadrille #230 – Let’s kick up a rumpus!

Rumpus #qudrille.


Fully engaged with the who-ha,
Hullabaloo driven at full speed,
Into the peace.

Noise and mischief engulfed,
Feedback whining into my psyche.

 The open mic rumpus kicking,
Into beer fuelled ecstasy.

Neighbours grimacing at the clamour,
No music fan among them,
Wanting peace restored.

Ooh  what a wonderful word for a quadrille, thanks kim. here at #dversepoetspub we do like a good play with words.

Jibber-Jabber slow.

Quadrille #229 – Shall We Jabber On?

Jib-ber-jab-ber slow.


Mind slowing down,
Too full of,
Others, 
Jibber, Jabber.

Snails’ wit faster,
After my bath,
 Of stupid.

Mind slowing down,
Too full of,
Others loud,
Jibber, Jabber.

Escargots de Bourgogne,
The answer to,
The snail brained,
Twit Wit exchanges
Ending penguin poo, hullabaloo taboos.

welcome to #dversepoetry pubs #quarille Monday where we are playing with the word jabber.

Celebrate, lets.

Haibun Monday 8-4-25: Silver

Celebrate, lets.
#fisherywharf, #haibun, #haiku, #dversepoetspoets.


Tin for ten. Oh yes not quite silver. Ten years of the Fishery Wharf café. The very place where I learnt to share my words, my poetry. Invited I have been to participate in a celebration poetry slam, my first. So, participate I shall, I shall.

Canal side party,
Within natures corridor,
Celebrate the day.

sweet dreams.

Who has a sweet-tooth?

candyfloss nebula

Sweet dreams.

The milky way is my sweet shop,

Poggled* shelves fully loaded,
With,
Skittle Stars from candy floss nebular.

The starship Twix hunting,
The snickers galaxy,
For the captains kit-kat,
Lost when we starburst away from,
The dull-drumsticks into,
Sweet dreams.

*poggled the art of seeing something new about something or somewhere you have known for years. Like an old scar on a familiar face.
