Being Social – 42 Day 4

Being Social

so, you think you know me

by a profile pic, taken in soft light,
angled just so…smoke and mirrors

I’ll tell you a secret…
my sleeve bleeds thoughts, words
that spill out on blank, pressed pages

harmless to humans

so they say, these lemon sharks

42 Day 3 – Why Indeed!

Why Indeed!

Why do I work day in day out

Toil through numbers, crashing
crisis to crisis, teetering on red

To present a black ebitda to
dissatisfied, greedy share hoarders
To pay the rent…to eat their crumbs

42 Day 3 for Jane’s Daily Poem Challenge. Taking my prompt from one of our recent comment discussions with an actual question posed.


42 – Day 2

I could be wrong

lacking key facts
swayed by assumption, but

my intuition says
not this time, trust me
and I do

Day 2 of the “42” for Jane Dougherty’s May Daily Poetry Challenge featuring a Cherita that begs a question.


The Dark Side of Spring

The Lowly Cur

a barbarous fête
chirping, featherless nestlings,
beaks agape, bobbing,
poor worm dangling, sacrificed
to sate the ravenous brood

A Tanka for Colleen Chesebro’s Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge using synonyms of the words: sing: chirp & celebrate: fête. The dark side of Spring. I love baby birds, but today, I’m remembering the worm. 😉
