The Resistance – NaPoWriMo 2017 #28
one hundred
days of vile
gaslit haze, of
us versus
them, insane power
plays; let us
never forget who
we are, not just
yet…the resistance is
legion, we’re on
to their treasonous
detours from
reason, the rape
of our resources,
drumbeats of
war by cowardly
twits who build
walls and slam
doors, with disdain
for the outcast the
sick and the
poor…oh let it be
known that we’re
on to their
schtick and
we
will
survive
what these tyrants
contrive, just as others
before us, we’ll settle
the score; let justice
prevail, let the truth
be restored; it’s time
to get tough and
demand to be
heard…
enough is
enough is
enough

Cottony Sweet – NaPoWriMo 2017 #27
Photo from Pixabay
a magical confection
sugar spun to perfection
wispy pastel clouds of sweet fluff
kids can’t get enough of this stuff
and who can blame them, I would agree
nothing tastes quite like cotton candy
that sticky first pinch you stuff in your mouth
tingles your tongue as it swiftly dissolves
then syrupy crystals transform into bits
of sweet crunchy morsels…how crazy is this?
oh, nothing can compare to this magical treat
cottony fluff on a rolled paper stick, sticky sweet!

The History Assignment

“I found it.” Pam whispered.
“What are you whispering for? It’s not like you’re going to wake the dead!” Mark guffawed as he handed her the etching paper and pencil.
“Shhhh. Just give me the paper. I hate graveyards; damn history class!” Pam’s hands shook as she created an etching of the famous headstone.
“Do you believe the legend that says if you rub the headstone the old man will show up?” Mark sneered.
“No! God! Stop it Mark!”
Suddenly the temperature plummeted. Pam whipped around to scold Mark for his incessant laughter, but he was gone.

NaPoWriMo 2017 #26 – the challenge today was to explore what future archeologists or aliens might think of us. I had started to write an epic historic poem based on what I imagine might happen if we don’t come to our senses…but I decided less is more. So I wrote a simple Haiku based on a digital collage I pieced together using snippets of several photos from Pixabay. I do hope this turns out to be a cautionary tale. Peace. ☮️
