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

Chair of Bowlies 

Life Is Just A


some secrets should be 
kept because one third will not
give a darn, one third
can never keep things secret,
one third won't understand it.

The law of thirds in life, art, and demographics.

RDP SATURDAY: SECRET

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.

Shhh! Wascally Agency Afoot

agency it takes a long
hunt to reclaim it

RDP Thursday – AGENCY

Existential Shivers

To deem something incomparable. Doesn’t that imply that you tried comparing it but failed. So clearly an attempt was made to compare it.  That’s downright incomprehensible. Comprehending the process of a comparison of a thing that’s incomparable just gives me the existential shivers.

Obfuscation soaked 
bone deep in free speech lucre.
Bread and Circuses

Very happy Wednesday and the Ragtag Daily Prompt is incomparable. The sky here can be incomparable. What is incomparable to you? Your sky, trees, the gardens, a comfortable chair? In romance novels, especially ones loosely based on history, a woman may be nicknamed “The Incomparable” for her beauty. Tell us what you find incomparable! Link […]

RDP Wednesday: incomparable

Conjure

I conjure up my 
greatest work of fiction self
story of my past

The thing I know for sure is how a film and track can be edited to tell a story in almost any way you wish. Fact and fiction spliced in any whimsically oppressive order to display a completely different timeline from the source. Ever shifting points of view filtered through hard won biases. Good thing memories are not like videotape playback. In fact memory is infinitely fungible. Just ask any eye witness three hours after any event.

RDP Tuesday! Fiction!

Roll Up

in shadowy dusk
rolling around in the muck
then passing the buck

Wrapped in the muck of existence
Gives form to humanities persistence
To consume, eliminate, reproduce
Stacking things up in order to deduce
What’s needed on top of the heap
Showing stuff we’ll want to keep
Knowing these too will be swallowed up
In the infinite stream of entropy muck


The prompt for today is MUCK. Create a post using this prompt. Photos, Artwork, Poetry, Short Story…the options are limitless and then link to this page. Please tag your post “RDP” and “Ragtag Daily Prompt”. Finally, don’t forget to read all the other wonderful posts. Need help with the pingback? You can find the instructions […]

RDP Monday: MUCK

Dust Bunnies

tiny dust bunnies
under my bed bred into
one big dust devil

A little contemplation never hurt anyone.

Sure.

Go ahead.

Be contemplative.

Think before you move.

Look before you leap.

Stick your little toe in before you dive in.

Overthink.

Second guess.

Doublethink.

Double down

Third down

Fourth and long.

Monday morning quarterback.

Enough contemplating.

Now do something

Even if it’s wrong

Doing is better than not doing anything

Or is it?

Let me think about that for a while.
