The lies we tell about ourselves
Reinforce maladaptations
Concealing or revealing fears
To rearrange our constellations
Stars are drawn in pleasing lines
To help the sailor navigate
Their usefulness in darker times
Was crucial to elucidate
But we have DBT & GPS now
“The lies we tell about _____”

Feet lined up to terminal edge
Look right down, reveal the drop
A flight of time so very short
With but a step, & life would stop
Brave the heights, conquer fear
To be there at the very top
Something gained, nothing lost
Take that plunge, no fatal flop
If bungee factors in your cost
No plop
Feet lined up to terminal edge

A flight of time so very short

If bungee factors in your cost
No plop
It started when the first creature
Had the first internally consistent thought
What started as a bug, now a feature
As consciousness was raised from nought
Which led to a great aggregation
When suddenly matter could invest
Power to deities, above their station
That deep time makes manifest
I’m thinking about Deep Time. Write me a poem about something that unfolds over an age. An eon. A trillion years.

Had the first internally consistent thought
What started as a bug, now a feature
As consciousness was raised from nought
Which led to a great aggregation
When suddenly matter could invest
Power to deities, above their station
That deep time makes manifest
Huddled in the corner, limbs drawn
Tight against the chest, a weight
So heavy that rocking back & forth
Can't fix it, scared of these feelings
Too quick to sort, only the softness
Of muted intonations falling out
As internal fractures form inside
I dissociate myself to hide
Cry for their cost
An elegy of saddened senses
To eulogize the somber
When deathly sorrow's tenses
Meet the present candor
We grieve for the lost
While everything in order
Or all the stuff in time
Is defined by its border
Divided by these lines:
Dead or Alive
Simple prompt. Try to write an Elegy today.

That all falls to rust
An oxidation layer laid
Which I claim as my own
In crumbled metal to dust
Of fractal flowers, arranged
So tarnished by aether
It suits me like armor
That all falls to rust
Write me a poem where the last line is the same as the first, but it means something different by the time we get there.

Flowers flow from Aphrodite's lips
With honeyed words of desirous silk
Eyes an aesthetic gaze can't slip
For the beauty inside even fouler ilk
Is plain to her, she understands both
Romance & attraction, love doth
Find in her, a constant state of passionate action

Sleepy panda looms in moonglow
Tail curled up in rusty fuzz
Grass all pitter-pattered below
While the hoppers chirp & buzz
A thousand starry lights surround
This tiny creature, struck in awe
At how the sky behaves around
A moon when the clouds are gone

That's my favorite time of day
When we get silly and #giggly
And laugh at dumb shit
Because everything is hilarious

Star's collapse predicted
It burned with such ferocity
That quickly brightening star
For everyone, was plain to see
A strange light from afar
Heralded a time of woe
For everything here died
In supernova's crushing blow
Which left no place to hide
Earth's doom, inflicted
In the various languages of love
The love language you speak
And the one you understand
Additional tongues you picked up
And some ancient and powerful
All these different ways to show
What we mean to each other
Day by day
And night by night

Flowing water pools with gravity
Towards the lowest point in space
To gather, rise, then overfill
Spilling over, out, & down
Until the liquid submerges
The highest point completely
Or the flow is cut short
There are lessons in gravity
That require no physics;
Be that flow, rise & overfill

I cast sticks, stones, & cards
As omens every day
To presage my fate
While daily divinations divide
The likely from impossible
Which guide when life gets hard
Or when I lose my way
To help fill up my plate
When symbolic oracles inside
My mind interpret the discernable
I read it & wait
