Quadrille #233: Bring on the Boo!




Boombastic!

Booked?
What?

Boogieman tours of London,
Why?

Boo factor, of course!
When?

Booming our deathly anniversary,
Oooh obviously.

Ghosts of London are we,
Joining the living,
Boombastic booing to,
Scare them witless.


Bamboozling the locals,
With our whistles,
Groans and moans,
Never ending.
BOO!

Thanks to all you spooky crowd at #dversepoetrypub for a fun prompt.

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.

Quadrille #222: There’s no alternative

Rat race exit.
#quadrille, #beachlife, #dverse 

Moonlit beach calls,
Oceanic salt-spray,
Melts tensions, mind altered 
Driftwood fire sputters sparks upwards.

Moonlit beach calls,
Waves crashing,
Shifting shingle,
My state of mind settling.

Moonlit beach calls,
Rat race rejected,
Praying at the altar,
No longer chasing own tail.

Moonlit beach calls.

Hooray its quadrille time again. my favourite #dversepoetrypub prompt .

Feathered

Poetics – Monopoly with a Twist

 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.

MTB: The Poetry of Names

Famous spear 
#waltmarie #historicname, #poeticforms,

Historically famous,
 Roger,
Famous for what?
Ink spill,
Throwing spear words,
Err, what?
Blotches of ink all over paper,
Filthy,
With the thoughts 💭 of this,
Writer.
