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

Ridges
Ruffles have ridges
Kerfuffles on burned bridges
Unruffled snitches
Always end up with stitches

RDP Monday: UNRUFFLED
Dec 16 2025
The Daily Dread
Yesterday
memory held in
my private buffer is dear
to who I am now
missing the days when
the Wrigley Field ivy
was the main feature
not the slick corporate shill show
picking pockets of the fans
the clever swallow
flees a looming snow drift for
the southern sunshine

Yesterday
Bohemian tart
Free spirited confection
Boho under glass
A festive sweater
Holly leaves and red berries
Holiday hairshirt
no holly berries
in the stew for you boho
you'll thank me later
With crown of holly
Boho - chic freewheeling ways
Profuse chick magnet
The season to be jolly
Ho Ho Fa-la-la-la-laaaa

Yesterday
Wondrous Biscuit bounce
Holiday expectations
Buttery fracture
Sad dark cloud tears up
Reaching quota rationed woe
Waterfall due soon
Something to behold
After years at the grindstone
Times left unfinished
Many, quick, apogee scores
By this diamond in the rough
Deep split fracture fare
Conjures full force waterfall
Hasty apogee

Yesterday
Phrazez that Payzez
Explicit comfort
Feasible joy
Gwyneth Paltrow hawks
Her personal star fragrance
In candle format 👃
mesmerizing drop
gravity revealed what
garment once concealed
we're all complicit
in the illicit actions
taken in our name
want feasible joy
from an illicit drop of
fragrance of a star
a guaranteed wash over
of pure explicit comfort

Yesterday
everything's okay
until it isn't can be
a bit of a stretch
being correct gives
lIttle consolation when
dumpster fires take
all the oxygen away
from candles of decency
take breadth of a breath
remember the cool evening
we spent together
Focus on the breath
Stretch your awareness inward

Yesterday
A skulk of foxes
A cowardice of curs
had it up to here
she claimed enough was enough
yet wanted more stuff
thumb typed gibberish
will never be the equal
of a well crafted
elegant soliloquy
thoughtfully spoken out loud
Dropping from up north
Mister Carrington sunspots
Wild iris ray blooms

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
Changeling diversions
Quiz all quislings endlessly
The poison will out
Chroma was solid
But the hue was all askew
Mangled magenta
Green Leaves the folk song
1580 toe tapper
Do you mean Greensleeves?
Magenta the Clown
on "Desolation Quiz Show"
as hue challenged host

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
reading between things
augury plus intention
tendered union bliss
rapture unwraptured
gifts under the Christmas tree
dangling ornaments
take caution under
turbulence of augury
loose dangling berries
perilous frivolity
scary December cherries
A Scroll Threw Life
