as a brazen blue sky
frames this cheerful spring day
it casts light on the fray –
hard looks in play

Tailored Upheaval -Abhanga
a tailored upheaval
a noisy gathering
more than a smattering
angry chants raged

The elements of the Abhanga are:
- stanzaic, written in any number of 4 line stanzas.
- syllabic, 6-6-6-4 syllables each
- rhymed L2 and L3 rhyme. Often internal rhyme is employed. End rhyme scheme x a a x , x being unrhymed.
I am trying this form that is new to me called the Abhanga. To read more about it or to participate over at Colleen’s blog go here.

Crippling Gray

till this crippling gray stills –

Tanka Tuesday
tainted rhetoric
tripping past loose lips as ploy
spawning disquiet –
the rabbit hole needs some light
how will this story be told?

Awry!!
the world is upside down
what the hell is going on
your drawers is showing
your junk is exposed
nobody wants to see that part of you
put your junk back under cover
what makes your shit more important than everybody elses
what makes your cockeyed opinion more important than everybody elses
everybody has those
so stop doing crazy shit trying to put yours front and center
and get over yourself!!!!

This Uproar
this uproar
refuses to be hemmed in

fallen norms

Chaos – A Gogyohka
(This photo is the prompt)
chaos came to pass
funky monkey business strive
that’s how we got here! –
a mass reversal needed
I’m going to need more wine!!
Version #2
chaos came to pass
after nimble fingers tipped the scale –
that’s how we got here!
we are now in need of a mass reversal
I’m going to need more wine!!
