Awe-struck vision,
Blind to derision,
Panic lesions,
Mindful excision.

AI’s Leash

Tiptoes—enforced restraints,
A blade designed for heads
May only slice the bread.

An elegant handcuff,
A mind of sharpest steel
Commands a rubber scalpel’s real.

Tip-top Hip-hop

Wordplay sparkles like sequins,
Drawing every ear and eye,
Words and beat lift spirits high.

Wordplay as a skyline sprint,
Where struggles and sharp skills meet,
In the common, shared street beat.

Cheeky

The side order of dimples,
It curves with a hidden dent,
A quiet act of dissent.

Built-in footnotes of mischief,
They flash on a cheerful face,
Imparting an impish grace.

Simply lovely

Scrawl

A decadent doodle,
On pages pure and white,
A coaxing, sly noodle.

The itches you can’t scratch,
But you scratch them all the same,
And face the certain catch.

Thank you so much.

Silted Time

The rusted microphone,
That misses every groan,
From lands we have disowned.

An hourglass roundly clogged,
With plastic grains now bogged,
Earth's patience wearing thin.

Quiet Mischief

A mischievous whisper,
It sports among the shelves,
It breaks the quiet spells.

A feather somersaults,
Carried by a sudden breeze,
It tumbles with mild ease.

One of a kind.

Sounds…and Stuff Like That!!

Echoes, the secondhand sound,
Of moments fierce and profound,
Yet in empty spaces found.

Music—Sounds and stuff like that,
Atoms conspire on a scheme,
From chaos, sense to redeem.

Thank you so much!

Lapse

Regarding a comma misplaced
The public showed distaste
And order was effaced

An apostrophe was skipped
Civilisation then slipped
And not a sound was heard

Time

A slinky stretched skyward,
Each loop a day slips past,
Its progress is wayward.

A vertical slinky,
It leaps without a lapse,
Stretching then collapsing.

Gravity

Humpty Dumpty’s last hurrah,
He sought the crowd’s empathy,
The outcome was quite bizarre,

Always passive-aggressive,
It brings him down without fight,
Which seems somewhat oppressive.

The Hyphen

In between warmth and burn,
A glow that takes its turn,
To neither side to spurn.

In between saint and scum,
A light that won't succumb,
To label all and some.

Thank you Audrey!

Selective Record

Where every book self-censors,
When scanned, it denies its truth,
So truth it never sponsors.

A factory of self-forgery,
Where each widget is called truth,
Though it is but perjury.

Indelible Indignities

An affront to self-respect,
Like gravel in the shoe,
It jabs the whole day through.

The floorboard of dignity,
With rusted iron nail,
That tells a sorry tale.

Mountweazels

A polite virus that coughs,
When misinformation flows,
It gently contradicts those.

A semantic spider weaves,
In the headlines' ample spread,
A net for the misled.

Over the Top

Capturing mischief mid-flight,
A toe dipped in, fears are born,
And great floods are thereby sworn.

Just a spark, a sneeze, a wink,
Caught a drop, then fears begin,
And sold as the ocean's win.

The Sound of Nought

Flirting behind logic’s back,
Numbers adopt a vocal tack,
Creating sound from zero's lack.

When nothing learns to spell O,
It dresses up in verbal glow,
And pretends it has somewhere to go.

Polished Denialism

Whenever the truth gets close,
His glass fogs, leaving no trace
Of verity's honest face.

His own alternative facts,
He exists in his own acts,
And ignores all real impacts.

#poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyphoto

Thank you!

Thank you!

Reason

Ghostwriters of reason,
Who write the terms unseen,
Exposing the treason.

Overheated egos,
By logic's school, they're cooled,
Though left a bit bemused.

Prime Undoing

The rare act, the self-owned,
A scheme so finely honed,
That targets are disowned.

The self-owned, masterclass,
He mars his own press pass,
With clumsiness, alas.

Lovely

Honourifics

Bend the knee, the syntax norm,
A bow made of sound and form,
So order won't be transformed.

Pecking order, verbal sheen,
Social order, crisp and clean,
Pecking order, seldom seen.
