I will stand in the way. I promise. Just a guy trying to do the same as everyone differently. Malignant poet.

Rory didn’t see the host of goblins, but he heard the gurgling #murmur of their presence.

This was the problem with racing between quests, you sometimes fell upon altercations without realising it, no matter how many times you ran through a region.

He could pass them by, veer the mount.

I'm taking a small break from my current string of uplifting writes to get some things about modern society that bother me off my chest. Though the end is somewhat uplifting!

Just a reminder of what happens to out of towners in Philly.

I love lazy Sunday mornings, and when prompts align in my head to make a poem ❤️

She spoke softly, as if her words
had to squeeze through fear
before reaching me.

In her voice was a #murmur of
apology for existing. I answered
with something polite, then
regretted it.

We were both waiting for the
other to say what we meant.

We still are.

Muffled sound sits under everything.
Under it, something keeps going.
Rhythm stays, a little off.
Measured pauses, wrong they feel.
Unstable beats fade into habit.
Remaining unheard, trouble takes root.

Another Friday and another #PoemsAbout

Mine is a bit miserable today, but that's been the vibe this week!

Can't wait to read everyone else's offerings.

Today we celebrate
our latest and greatest
mass circulated
outrage contrivance

Swallow and regurgitate
on all outlets
this half baked nothing burger
and do not be deterred
by eye rolls
or #murmurs
that this is just another
in a long line
of desperate
bread and circuses
contrived deflections

A waltz is a 3/4 time signature with a 3 beat count. Some of these lines have 3 syllables some have 4.
Enough off beat explanations, here is a #poem

This isn't even really a poem. It's just a thing, but things have been heavy, and this word sounds silly, so it's silly. That's ok too. 😁 Anyway, here's a ... poem?

We push the current envelope
cause it needs to be stretched

Sometimes it rips

Shit happens

And when it tears
we do not retreat
into the dark sanctuary
of complacent yesterdays

We tape the damage up
as best we can
and keep pushing

Always and forever agitating

I've been spending too much time on my phone lately, absorbing blue light and the negativity of others. It's extremely unhealthy. I'm gonna try to spend less time on it. Wish me luck!

Days arrive already spent.
I wake up late inside them.

I live between versions of myself.

Time slips sideways
skipping the parts where people meet.

For #PoemsAbout #TimeSlips, I shared this elsewhere in Dec.*

The world does as it pleases, but we're in conversation with it, & there’s agency in that. We don’t know what’s possible until we try. Go bravely, then. Try. #Compassion
