Under Blues Skies III

A system that sows 
A grapes of graft vineyard will
Be choked by it's vines

My telomeres are tired and my cellular membrane just ain’t as thick as it used to be. What once upon a time would set my cellular messenger RNA ablaze, scorching my mitochondria; now at best only kindles #aglow within my nucleolus.

Refreshing #awareness in
my myopia

A: A polite way of describing, “I got mine Jack, keep your hands off of my stack.”

Q: “What is business #acumen ?”


I achieved peak self #astuteness with the realization that I couldn't monetize the lifeboat concession on the Titanic. 

Some people are wired that way.

Others are not.

My tipping point after greeting one of life's many icebergs.

Too soon?

Ended with loathing 
Ignited with blazing lust
Never #amity

sure, infinity 
and beyond equations
are all well and good
but my struggle
is ciphering
an #affinity for now

Haven’t the Foggiest



No clue
Hey me too
But don't be blue
Join the crew

Haven't the foggiest
When we're the groggiest
Making life the shoddiest
Like a well meaning hobbyist


But

I know
What I know
Until I know
Something different


Do share
If you think you
Know different


Even seeming indifferent
More likely ambivalent
But I remain diffident


Spanning irreverent
To the irrelevant
Like the room elephant

The word(s) for today is(are) No Clue! We humans like to “know” things and to be right. I’m the first to agree, well, maybe not the first, that uncertainty is uncomfortable. I don’t even have a clue about the temperature outside. My phone says one thing, my actual thermometer says another thing, and the national […]

RDP Friday! No Clue!

fluid emotions
spread all over a lifetime
a deluge of hope
soon will be a trickle down
good ol' waste fraud and abuse

RDP Thursday- DELUGE

B.S. Redux II

One thing is for sure;
When no bad decision goes
unmade, that's a clear
loud warning to the world that
I got my #mojo workin'

If you put an #apple on the top of your head, don’t be surprised if some bozo with a bow tries to shoot an arrow through it. Causation Correlation What do you think of them apples


#aware of a doomed
life lived confined within a
house of yellow leaves

Smeared over life's time mirror
On every surface in evening chambers
Smashed sconces
Broken bottles
Tumbled tumblers
Soiled sheets
Base fruit of nocturnal
Past amorous #alacrity clambers

parked out in the woods
the hunter's moon shining bright
teenage #ardor flowed

Too much rigidity
May maintain servility
While preying on fragility
Ushering in a proclivity
Towards delightful serendipity
Encouraging faux #avidity
Leading to soul's morbitity
Resulting in lividity

The seasonal tradition of bobbing for eels will be commencing shortly.


With the earth's life heat
Dispersed to the void of space
No longer #ablaze
Another sad dead planet
Stripped of it's resource and spark

Nothing But Blue Sky Redux I

Ambivalent or
#Lackadaisical maybe
Just plain lazybones

#treppenwitz

Random German dude loitering on a staircase: “Wie geht’s dir?”

Me: “The gates are okay but the hinges are rusty.


While it seems the past years 
Have been taken by the boom
Of a loud fat buzzing #Mosquito
In the room

Thank glorious insectile overlords
For the power, wisdom, and pique
To mute endless media harangue of
Blather and Squeak

 A #yakamoz
lycanthrope
May be good looking
But in reality is but a
Sneaking slinking skulking
Weak sad sack reflection
Of a full furred howling
Drooling biting snarling
Genuine issue werewolf

You liked the big lie?
Well step right up for this year's
extra #jumbo lie.

This person
Up
On a platform 
Preening 
Like a bloated budgie 
In front of a mirror
Not #cute
Not #gigil
Just #sad

What's that trickling down?
#Sugar coat it all you wish.
It still amounts to
thinly glazed aerated pure
weasel sputum on a stick

Low expectations 
Have kept me #flexible now
In spite of myself
I can bend backward while I'm
Looking at me in the void

From towering white pines to unusual beach species. Predacious bog plants to native prairie grasses. The plant diversity was outstanding in front of our dune home. Diverse #garden terrain wiped out for a sloping lawn to serve the spouse aesthetic. My biggest regret.

Was it finding myself floating in a roomful of white mist looking down at myself sitting at a computer?

More likely, that was an end.

Did it #begin when a foot, a bus, and the front bumper of a 1971 Checker taxicab tried to occupy the same space at the same time?

That began something.

Office Dictation

Hello everyone! The prompt for today, 31st August 2024, is “Triangle”. Write a post including the prompt word and share it via pingback or leave the link in comments section. Have a lovely weekend. Punam

RDP SATURDAY: TRIANGLE
Sure they can be acute
Others are quite obtuse
Some may not fit just right
They learn by being isosceles
When all things are equilateral
More often tend towards scalene
But the most pleasant polygon of all
Happened long ago in the fall
Was that satisfying office triangle
With a very intense body entangle

😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

Precarious Lips

Life lived on the lips
Of a precipice
With the knowledge
A landslide of doom
Is but a foot slip
Away
Watch your step
