O’ this Problematic

O’ this problematic /

of all that is quite antic /

stands in ways dramatic /

at the lover’s front door. /

 

But it would be most ecstatic /

and even a touch fantastic /

to touch your life elastic /

once upon a time once more. /

 

Though time be a bit erratic /

and full of senseless static /

like a radio set to bombastic /

’tis you my heart adores. /

 

And though life is all to plastic /

with desires trifling spastic /

my mind trips the light romantic /

in wishing for amour. /

 

So, redact moments miasmic /

and reach for ones orgasmic /

and travel beyond the didactic /

until we reach each other’s door. /

Haiku to you Thursday: “Fear most”

I fear most being /

a fool before the universe /

when I could have been.

Random Acts of Poetry: “O’ Motivation”

O’ Motivation, /

You lost gyration /

Of agitation /

And sometimes vituperation, /

Why can’t I overcome /

This constipation, /

This consternation /

And subjugation of mental triangulation /

That I feel /

Keeping me from my goals? /

O’ this usurpation /

Of my concentration /

Is no vacation /

But abdication /

Surreal. /

Must I face with total resignation /

The certain and declining titration /

Of the limpid constellation /

That is my soul?

Photo finish Friday: “Frayed Flag”

These colors may not run,
but sometimes they do fray.
I think it’s time to retire this one
and use a new one, today.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Will hope”

Will our hope return, /

or has the bloated sky, /

made one more refugee?

Monday morning writing joke: “Tart”

There once was a woman named Tart /
who thought she would be rather smart. /
She wore her bra on her head /
so when she took men to bed, /
they’d start near head, not her heart.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Sanded edges”

Time piled up as sand, /

the edges, then the center, /

undertaking dreams.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Flawed and cracked”

He stole her best years.

All he left her was his love:

flawed and cracked; she smiled.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Empty, too”

Our pockets empty

we compare mythologies

under the eclipse.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Empty”

Empty as pockets –

midnight to devastation –

we delude our myths.
