The
Best feature of the Internet
Is
From contrary contradiction
To
Highly hyperbolic hypocrisy
From
Sophistic soliloquizing
With
Vestigial verbal vertigo
Leaves
My usual Irish goodbye
Closer
Than the nearest door
Just
A power down click away

Tanka Your Time
Like the Late Bronze Age
Civilization collapses
Another one will rise
Something new will then happen
Slowly as something different




Pegged

I'm the luckiest man in the world
For so long just giving things a whirl
My fun meter has been pegged in the red
Repairs are bound to cost some serious bread
Lifetime full of overdriven sounds and surrounds
With ringing ears and palpitating heart out of bounds
There's only one thing left to be said:
"What?"
Reset
What are your biggest challenges?
Not Reliving The Past

Yesterday
we replaced being
humble with glorified fake
reality stars
slender limbs entwine
bind me with tight enrapture
trellis tied love vine
prefer a good blow
of snow to a shimmering
sheet of cold wet sleet
value not blooming
on social media vine
is being humble

Yesterday
gratitude given
for being watched over by
machine's loving grace
Beacon of false hope
Lantern for lustful lechers
White House Bordello
happy holidays
when the hydrangea of hope
blooms for scant moments
It's with gratitude
that the drinking lantern lights
for all winter trolls

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
long night nectar quaff
prodigious ambrosia munch
satiated beasts
A Christmas exit
With a wink, lick, and promise
A glimmer of hope
a pinch of remorse
plus a sprinkle of regret
to make the angst rise
palpable regret
with dawn's first glimmer after
ambrosia frolic

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
our sighs echo out
into the dim morning light
through open windows
Just remember this
It's not that I don't recall
Just don't want to tell
Fluttering outside
Just thought it was a dim moth
It was something else
moth eaten moral
fabric will only dim light
on faulty recall
