Quatrain away on the thin ice of a new way
Hum my song of say about tales of yesterday
Thinking thing thoughts of axis spin du jour might bring
Rouse my weary ways then go off and do that thing
All Aboard
Tag: Today’sRiff
Spun
daily I view
fabricated realities
alternate universes
diverging converging
timeline merging
tapestry of screen time
disbelieved believing
spun from whole cloth
fruit of the loom
brought to you by loons
highly unlikely exposition
narratives from nattering
decanted denominational
decrypted dominated cryptic
negative nincompoop nabobs
woven into a threadbare fabric
with a smattering of snew
What's snew?
I don't know.
What's snew with you.
You Better Not Holler
Hominids being
Horrible to one another has no
Hole in human history
Honestly it's
Horrendous
How we've treated one another
Holiday exceptions
Honestly only sometimes
Honored
Ho Ho Ho
Judgemental Spread
Liked the movie
The book was better
Apples to oranges
Graded on a curve
Melons to the rind
Things of a kind
Birds of a feather
Judgemental find
Original or cover
Anticipations hover
Spending time
In decisive grind
Neither is heeded
Some things are fine
No rating needed
From me or you
On most things
Thumb has retired
No up
No down
No exposition required
Let things of a kind
Be of their kind
Off The Old Block
Today’s prompt caused this spark in my neural pathways
once a wire
add a switch
born a circuit
became integrated
to be a transistor
shrunk to a chip
begat a microchip
quantum computing
here I come
Yikes!
Protect us Prospectus
Finish your dinner
There are children starving

That was mom's refrain
Card carrying member
Of Depression Era
Clean plate club
Pick the country du jour
There were hungry people
There are hungry people
Getting hungrier
Very soon
Getting hangry
And hangrier
Sure aid measures
Are stop gap
Now we will see
When we stop
Stopping the gap
Around the world
And here at home
I was lucky then
I am lucky now
But as the prospectus states
Past performance
Is no guarantee
Of future performance
One of life's fine print
Little disclaimers

What Is This Thing
Brewed
I fully exercise my brood
First thing in the mourn
Dark and murky coffee brewed
Radical free verse bourne
Haiku Tanka Senryu cadence
Drives morning muse stance dance
Since my brood is grown and gone
Performed with no one looking on
Can execute with awkward impunity
Brewed in social media immunity
From dark brooding brew confusion
A day of perpetually amused infusion
Bottoms Up
From medieval power drinking
To Days of Wine and Roses
Bacchanals
Then Leaving Las Vegas
Now we all stay hydrated
Twenty four seven
With personal bottles of
Cool Cool Water
Water
Meanwhile in saloons it's
Guzzle Guzzle Guzzle
As they shove it down their muzzle
These are the words we like to hear
MORE BEER!
Maintenance drinking
Binge drinking
Drinking with intent
Or drinking in place
Temperance to tolerance
The bar bill for the signers
Of the Declaration of Independence
Was ginormous
Cruisin' & Boozin'
Through history it's clear
Spirits were everywhere
Even where they shouldn't be
Then there was my girl

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
perpetuating
the mix up that messed us up
most egregiously
damn a waterfall
feed the patch work quilt of our
hungry power grid
adding to A.I.
mix misanthropic haiku
hoopla just for kicks
add misanthropic
haiku hoopla hijinks to
a.i. mix for kicks
Zero sum algorithm
Antisocial media
Syncopated holy hymn
Full frenzied feedia
Up on the down beat
Upbeat down with resolve
Lost in the repeat
Off center reality dissolve
Freaky Friday show finality
Still looking for #sum-one
To wrap up with banality
While just having some fun
Seems when I uplift
Reality windshear sends
A tailspin tomb tome
A Scroll Threw Life
