All my jokes
badly timed
misconstrued
nobody laughs
met with awkward silences
hands that bat them away
Oh to improve my comic ineptitude
for a slice of a miniscule morsel
of Oscar Wilde’s wit

I reached
A bellwether
In the way
That I see Time

Once said
“Time is money”
But it’s more
Than that worn line

Pouring
From my bucket
#Timed flows
Flood the Evermore

Flowing til
Pail’s empty—
With no way
I can get more

No Time to quash
Unkind words
Or change
A losing score

the biggest difference between money and time is you always know how much money you have but you never know how much time you have .

Soft is the light,
and almost ready is the tea.
A few stories I keep,
told they have not been,
resting quietly here.

For someone who listens
with their eyes,
waiting they are.

To be #adamant, steadfast, unwavering, uncompromising despite epistemic uncertainty—is a quality I deeply respect.

Are you in the "We shall overcome" timeline?

Today's prompt is "adamant".

Now follow @madp03t.bsky.social (erudite wit, #prompt) & write together in #blueSkyRelay, 11/26-12/2/2025.

Love is more than words
More than the number
Of rose petals in a bunch

Love isn’t #hard
When you understand
The language of your heart

This is not a poem about loneliness

I warm a cup between my hands
the way I imagine someone
might hold mine someday.

I sip slowly,
leaving room in the quiet
for a second heartbeat
to find its way in.

I’m no good at conversation. The tennis match of words back & forth. Things that are not relevant hanging & taking up space. I look at the trees, notice a birds nest left like a scribbled full stop. I hear the crow calling, watch a leaf fall. You are still talking…

She comes from a land
inhabited by omen-birds
whose wings inscribe
the scrolls of what shall be
Their flutter
can summon life
& call down flame
It’s the country
with no banner or anchor
only reckonings #relevant
to soul’s fated harbor
where #heart_song is born
before the body is

Riley repeatedly reviewed the most #relevant remarks,
yet every relevant remark rearranged itself
whenever Riley tried to reread it.
So Riley reread the rearranged relevance
till the relevance refused to remain relevant
and Riley refused to reread it again.

Complain, you will.
Quit, you might.
Still, you learn.

Easy teaches nothing.
I build bone,
bend pride,
break habit.

Hold on.
Aim steady.
Rise slow.
Do it anyway.

In spirit of this prompt, I ask for no combo prompts. The idea behind this prompt has always been to allow writers a very open format to be creative. 🙏🏻 #SenseWrds

Drag me out.
Dress me up.
Call it joy.

Same songs.
Same lights.
Same wine, still bad.

You cheer.
I cope.

Someone’s got to hold the glitter
while you chase the glow

So want to #Dansa with me?

Giggly Grindlewick’s glistening gooseberries
grew in groups of glittery green clusters.
When Grindlewick grabbed a greedy handful,
the gooseberries got #giggly,
so Grindlewick got gigglier,
till the whole glittered garden
glimmered with giddy giggles.
