Remembering Ozymandias

 


pecking orders and social strata make the rules
some can break them some can't
it depends on one's position in the pack
grovelling is the way forward
fear based
high distinction in hypocrisy a good start
great prospects
but at what cost ?
all the lessons are in the book
karma will always win out

freedom of  speech
depends who you are
on some poetry sites

Carpe Diem Tan Renga Challenge # 71

borrowing sleep
from the scarecrow's sleeves
midnight frost
(Basho )
crushed in a white plastic cup
numbing the pain of the heart

Erasure Poems

we love each other
but we are terrorized
by trivialities

 Mindlovemisery's Menagerie

her blinding pride
struck a jaw dropping chord
with everyone

she was an immovable force
like an astral  body fixture in space
pinging gunfire repartee and wooing
the crowd

until a constant drizzle of vodka shots
made her reckless and obtuse resulting
in a  drunken stupor
she would then prevaricate
and slowly unravel

Papillon Attack

stabbed in the eye
by a butterfly
she does not cry
and lets it go by

it still clings on
to her wrinkled worn hands
from years steeped in soap suds
sans gold diamond bands

the make up piled on
cheap  scents overpower
poor papillon can't be blamed
for mistaking her for a flower

words
can sign a death warrant
can scorch a mind
be trite like empty wind chimes
aim to destroy the spirit
land a spell on someone
who lives miles away
powerful they may be
but actions are more important

party time
girls just want to have fun
everywhere

amicable
frivolous unrefined 
unpretentious

 

oh dear
another banishment
the black list is growing






she loves writing
they tried to silence her
by  staple gunning her pencil
blocking her from their sites
fat chance
she will always write
