it’s true
you know it is
it’s on the internet
that’s all the proof anyone needs
no lie

Off Topic – NaPoWriMo/GloPoWrMo Challenge Day 25

the night
looms black, heavy
with rain, distant flashes
of light illuminate the sky,
thunder

Off topic today for NaPoWriMo/GloPoWriMo Challenge Day 25. I did the exercise eking out an extremely long diatribe of drivel…I wrote and wrote and wrote and keep writing as instructed, but found the resulting verse rather self indulgent and verbose. It is storming tonight. I settled on a familiar form, the Cinquain, for this, the 25th day.


Drivel


drivel

wordsmiths,
pecksniffian
polyglots who bang out
drivel otiosely credit
the muse

A cinquain for Colleen Chesebro’s Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge Synonyms Only. Prompt words: Ghost: wordsmith, polyglot, bang out, and Hollow: Pecksniffian, scratch.


Verdict

power
ultimatums
paragons dishonored
when justice declares her verdict…
karma
