The Daily Dread
Yesterday
My favorite non verbs
Verily verve vim and vigor
Starts with an adverb
Gives me the shivers
Extant skeletal skitters
Of attic critters
Mulberry munching
Turkey will draw the short straw
When Thanksgiving comes

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
Sheets warm from the first
As the second slipped between
Spent and left drowsy
Crept off for liaison three
He was quite the libertine
blood toil tears and sweat
through the haze of history
a zero sum bet
the hoi polloi ante up
aristocrats take the skim
Every other stride brings my bane in a purple haze of pain
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
makes my eyes all misty with
franchise memories
libertine geese fly
off into the misty gray
instinct driven haze
Choo Choo Mama: Roll the dice my little cupcake and I’ll recite a poem for you. If it comes up snake eyes you can give the poem a critique. But if it comes up with boxcars, I guess I’ll just have to murder you. That’s how my literary train rolls.

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
When the cuddles start
to curdle it's ghost time for
Ash or for Ashley
the things from the past
that would make my blood curdle
now part of the game
poking the ash heap
of yesterdays smoldering
discontent bonfire
bound to ignite another
self-righteous conflagration
her florid perfume
now wafts through my mind rooms like
a hyacinth ghost

Yesterday
Administration
Will heretofore be known as
Clash of the Minions
Chickens coming home to roost
another relic
whining about being caught
in a surveillance
web of their own spinning used
to entrap the rest of us
Just another Companion of the Hellhounds psychonaut podcaster relic
seditious relic
seedlings try to avoid the
#clash between what they
say the rest of us should do
and what they don't do daily

Take a peek at the beak to tell a crow from a raven forevermore
It's Monday morning
So time to get your crow on
My fine haiku peeps
🐦⬛
fresh wind is welcome
under the blankets after
night chill hot air fill
be careful with whom
you #associate with in
waxing fascist times
Chill of a night kill
Watch Associate eat crow
Wash it down with bile

Personal Advert:
So my little pierogi
Roll around with me
In some flour and butter
See what fun we can boil up
Follow time's arrow
Feel it in my marrow
Fly straight and narrow
Invert the advert
Give us your money to solve
The crisis we made
The crisis we made
Can be solved with your money
Advert the invert

Raconteur Rancor
spinning bilious narration
to all who'll listen
Rancor is the anchor for the soulless stanker wanker
the more he stretches
the truth the more elastic
it becomes for him
if it finally snaps back
will it hit him in the puss
Once the leaves yellow
The beach is best for strolling
Once swimmers have gone

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
Once upon a time
Got a splinter in my calf
Embedded for life
Reminds me with every step
Of that October moment
But a splinter of wood to keep us warm for the winter
No fork in the road
More of a turnpike splinter
Out of control spin
Less plausible than
a vignette in pulp fiction
Current governance
Splinter my timbers
Pulp my frost. Defrost the calf
Pump and dump plunder

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
Running with scissors
Tripping fell down and went slash
The gash was ghastly
October quickly churlishly churned
from mostly to vastly ghastly
clouded judgment brain
impaired by the fine drizzle
of grain alcohol
ghastly pharmaceuticals
and delusions of grandeur
Need an oasis
Away from constant drizzle
Of drivel du jour

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
another feral
fetid fabulation spun
from festering ooze
the nineteen nineties
a blur of awful choices
from professional
personal, financial swamps
to metaphysical bogs
Track the pink bunny
All under the hunter's moon
A #blur in the night
showing the whole world
the soft pink underbelly
of Corruption Inc.
The frisky fiend frolicked in the fetid fungi forest
A Scroll Threw Life
