a refuge in the sunflower –
hints of normalcy

Crippling Gray
lay me down to heal
till this crippling gray stills –
a regard for spring
sparks first tweet from window sills
no more will this sting endure

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

Synonyms Only challenge using the words “MOVE & MAKE” provided by David Ellis
I used Ploy & Spawn
For Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday To participate or to read entries go here.
Awry!!
the world is upside down
what the hell is going on
your draws 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
nothing is even
in its wake
fallen norms

Chaos – A Gogyohka

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!!

on the march through time
a complicated history
dreams morph to nightmares –
these tangled footprints still lure
in dreams in faraway lands
