Some #wave hello!
Sound waves shout,
radio waves gossip.
Heat waves call
in sick every summer.
Ocean waves show off,
hair waves just show up.
Even microwaves hum,
like they’re part of the band.
Some wave goodbye...

No shout.
No roll.
Just chill.
Tilt, twist, strike still.
Truth flinches.
Talk trips.
Crowds hush.
Sweet with sting.
Grace with grin.
One glance.
Mood shifts.

I spear marshmallows on sticks. The ember fox watches as they toast above him.
He yips and gobbles one. I don’t mind. I share from the bag until it’s empty.
Then he curls up, nose under his fire-plume tail.
I sleep beside a friend’s warmth.
It’s magical.

She cursed as she pumped, “This stupid $#%# thing.”
Five minutes later, same thing.
A trainer walked by, and she stopped him. “How do you get this bike to start?”
“Press on and start using it.”
“I did!”
“You have to make a #measurable effort.” #vss365

That man of action,
That man of steel,
Of Lois Lane attraction,
And chisel jaw appeal.
Look!
Up in the air,
Is it a bird, is it a plane?
Clark Kent went where?
I’m confused,
Won’t somebody please explain?

I caught the
hope in me
jumping on
a horse
ready to ride
into the past
I asked her why
& she replied,
'I was happiest
there'
'no', I said,
'you forget too
much, you see
only roses where
there were thorns
it's to the future
we must go'
'I can't see it',
she said
'then let's dream it',
I replied.

There’s a #specific person I’m unhappy with
This person doesn't know this
Why?...Coz
This person doesn't seem to know I exist!
This person doesn't even have me on their top list!

Writers: "What can you do with too many choices? Sometimes the blank page can be daunting because you can literally take any path.
The surrealist word game of Exquisite Corpse is a great way to narrow down those overwhelming choices w/ a unique challenge."
