crickets
in the shadows hid
a cricket crooning loudly
driving me insane

when the snails passed away this week
the tetras dined on escargots
catfish came out of hiding
to clean the empty shell
nothing is wasted
life cycles on,
season’s change,
nature’s
way

Na/GloPoWriMo 2022 Day 10 Prompt: write a love poem.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
thoughts of her
even now
after all these years
just the thought of her
ignites love’s embers,
the smoldering subtle tinge
of longing, yesteryear flashing in
excruciating, technicolored detail
sunlight glistening through the fine
hair on her bare skin, scent of
warm musk, soft bursts of breath,
melded, crescendoing to a sigh
remembering…remembering
that once upon a moment past
touches me so deeply
after all these years
even now

“ignorance is bliss”
“ignorance is bliss”
you should be happy
because ignorance is bliss
instead, you’re just mean

Glo/NaPoWriMo 2022 Day 7 Prompt: write a poem that argues against, or somehow questions, a proverb or saying.
stop and smell the roses
“stop and smell the roses”
stop trying to please
and take some time for you to
smell spring’s sweetness in
the moments after the rain
roses misted, dressed in red
~kat
NaPoWriMo2022 -Day 6 Prompt: write a variation of an acrostic poem. But rather than spelling out a word with the first letters of each line, I’d like you to write a poem that reproduces a phrase with the first words of each line.
To challenge myself even more, this poem was created using Original Magnetic Poetry online in the format of a Tanka 😊
true story
true story
I had just logged out of my work computer,
sat down to watch a bit of mindless TV
while my dog’s tilapia baked in the oven.
Okay, yes I cook for my dogs.
Vet’s orders…though…
well that’s another story
it’s for my sweet Winston
who refuses to go out in the rain
to do his business without his raincoat
Winnie, who has a special blankie and
needs to be tucked in at night
anyhoo… where was I?
just finished work
got two trays of tilapia into the oven
fed the cats (don’t think i mentioned
that or the cats)
got Winston dressed in his raincoat so he could take a wee
plopped down on the recliner sofa in the den
turned on a movie
then THIS popped up on the big screen…
what follows next
is the conversation i had
with some AI
beaming in via satellite
from a galaxy
far, far away
no doubt
just sayin’
been a rough week
only Tuesday, you say?
rough week
Wha’? Hall-low!
Something’s not quite right.
You’re telling me…wait!? How did you know?
Your receiver has not been reset in a while.
Well that would explain a few things. It’s been a few years, hasn’t it?
What with pandemics, government coups
(attempted, alleged, your everyday tour group gone amuck in DC),
inflation, wars, mass shootings, crazy people, two presidents
(well, one just thinks he’s still the president…and people believe him!)
mean, really nasty, hateful people,
I must say I don’t miss being out there
I don’t miss the office, the gossip,
the backbiting, the hour-long commute
i thought i was doing fine,
adjusting to isola…i mean solitude
but maybe it’s affected me
just a bit more
than i realized
To prevent your system from becoming unstable…
Hey! No need to get personal bud!
…and to ensure you have the latest programming and software updates….
great hook! i’m listening…
let me guess
three easy payments of $9.95,
free shipping and double this offer
so i can share it with…
…your receiver will be reset in 45 seconds.
Ha…wish it was that easy. You’re right. Something’s not quite right…
Most resets take less than 5 minutes.
…
…
…
well, i just spent 45 seconds in
a conversation with my television
i’m not sure 5 minutes is gonna cut it
think i’m gonna go unplug
the microwave
just in case

NaPoWriMo 2022 - Day 5 Prompt: write a poem about a mythical person or creature doing something unusual – or at least something that seems unusual in relation to that person/creature.
