Poem #10, NaPoWriMo, I'm texting on eggshells

4/13/2017

You have nothing else to do but dwell
And twist mole hills into mountains
That rise into insurmountable peaks
If you seek conspiracy and dastardly deeds,
Then that is all you shall find
please,
don't forget the one you leave behind

Poem #9, NaPoWriMo, "I wasn't worried about you, should I be?"

There are those days when you're just driven to daytime drinking...
You know those days, right?
It's worse when there is actually no drink to be drank;
When things go flying before you can even catch your breath;
You get beat upon by life and also fists;
Your best bud is mad at you;
You got assignments due at school
and two jobs to boot;
You gotta make time for the dentist to do his business.
(I'll have you all know - contrary to popular belief, I do not have a big mouth-
and so it really hurts afterwards, what with the fibro and all!)
My hair is atrocious and requiring attention and care...
You get the picture, I'm sure,
Because I know you feel it, too.

Poem #8, NaPoWriMo... "New Horizons (per second)"

New Horizons (per second)

Like a probe to Uranus,
the last of the gas giants.
Only been visited once
by humanoid technology
and technological spacemen
Oh, my, what a nice asteroid belt!
(Might I interest you in some fuel?)
Like a great blob of pizza dough,
Every 16 seconds, heated more and more,
I'm off-centre and tilted (Story of my life)
A whole new speed of space craft and light;
Up close and personal.

(Original: February 2017/edit: April 9, 2017)

Old and wise, I'm tired of what life brings.
Seen many things, and suffered the stings.

Thoughts bounce back and forth,
Big Bang inside my brain,
A wild whirling crash course,
Exploding inner peace drain.

Wishing for a black hole to open and obliterate my soul.
A bad mood, like a demon-
You must exercise, until it's free, Man!

Poem #4... Life Advice

News flash: nobody's fine.
Kaluha in fudge is a secret.

Destiny- because the best things happen by chance.
Make your life a masterpiece.
Dance through the crowd.

Sometimes the clever thing is not to be too clever.

Everything you do should matter
Be purposeful, intentful, meaningful,
and always be fucking delightful,
Like a beam of fucking sunshine.

Poem #6:
Supernatural

About a week ago,
I heard the angels talking.
Your demon ray-gun bullshit
It doesn't work on me.
It's not your fault.
When god is righteous,
You get the hell out of the way.
You should forgive yourself.
Explaining freedom to angels
Is like explaining poetry to fish.

You are not alone,
Is all I'm trying to say.

(Compiled from viewing the TV series, Supernatural)

If mouse becomes mice,
spouse becomes spice, no?
Goose becomes geese
Though mooses are not meeses
Spouses can be spicy
And sometimes even icy
Like scotch on the rocks
and a life of hard knocks.
Alright, friends, it's Friday night,
hope you have a beer or wine
and good times with your spice!

*Co-written with my boss from his email.

What a beautiful plant!
Genus Ornithogalum
Perennial genius
I chose it cuz it has a weird name
Like you,
Dubium Sunshine
Luminous aura
Gleam beam
Cheerful sheen
Bulbious beginnings
A slender stalk,
Growing linear basal leaves
Bearing clusters of sun stars
that wilt and whither in time
Death wind blows new life;
the end.
and begin again.

(Prompt: not today poem)

For today’s prompt, write a “not today” poem. Maybe it’s normal to give in to outside pressures, but not today. Or maybe you’re usually very disciplined in your health and wellness habits, but not today. Or maybe you struggle to write poems, but not today.
http://www.writersdigest.com/whats-new/2017-april-pad-challenge-day-2

Going up? Not today; today I'm down:(
Don't mind if I do;) Not today:(
But when?
The future shines bright:) Not today; it's a shadowy umbra of gloom & doom
Until light again
What goes up:) Must come down:(
Not today!

NAPOWRIMO... full steam ahead!

All That Is Possible

I'm going to start with some steam...
but in all likelihood,
the steam will sputter
and fizzle,
as April promises to be
an extremely busy month for me.
To which I will take an attitude
filled with gratitude.
Cool fun things
are on the horizon
in both my jobs.
I'll be a busy beaver,
so no pressure,
I'll do what I can
because it's all that is possible:)
