What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

And the cover chatters
“Go away, not your day!”
I listen in with glee.
“Reading is what matters.
Listen to what I say.
Open book! Off TV!

I reply “Not tonight,
This story has me caught.”
“My tales are good” TV whines
“I can make your night bright.
I’ll tell you what I’ve got.”
Softly my novel pines.

#MPPrompt

Evening has arrived.
I am settling down
With my current novel.
To finish I have strived.
TV sighs with a frown
“Do I have to grovel?”

Moonlit beach so still,
only shells remember songs
the sea used to sing.

Ghost of her soft laugh,
lingers near the withered tree.
Spring forgot to come.

Go look at the sheep
Revel in their content expressions
And their placid manner
Zip up your fleece jackets
Every lamb has no idea.

little children paint
with #verve and without judgment
show masterpieces
with pride and they will all ask
"look at this! do you like it?"

A young gal who was showing some thigh
Caught the eye of a very cute guy.
But alas he lacked nerve;
Failed to speak up with #verve.
He could NOT even muster a "Hi."

How come you do everything like that?

Like what?
She said.

Like everything is the most brilliant and important thing ever.

It's the last thing he told me.
She said.

What?

To live my life with #verve.
She said.

And you're sure he wasn't talking about the band.

Oh.
She said.

Desire moves
with reckless verve,
a spark
refusing to dim,
curling beneath
the skin like smoke,
coiling tighter
with every
thought of you.
It's hunger
without a name,
a pulse knowing
only forward.

My #handbag is always too small
Cuz I suffer from portable sprawl.
Seems I “need” so much junk,
Nothing short of a trunk
Could manage to handle my haul.

Happy #NationalHandbagDay!

Broken

I'm no model of high society
I have not inherited great legacies
If you cut me, I bleed profusely
My tears sometimes fall incessantly
My words don't always roll perfectly
I still survive life's edge
with an imperfect me.

howling in the cold
flies buzz, floors groan
clamoring with fatigue and mold
no candle lit, no truth to trust
just drifting, wanting something more

I should have never
told you how I felt
because now you know
and now
you have power I
didn’t want to give you
an advantage
you shouldn’t have

It was spirit week before the big game at the high school
All the kids were hyped even the coolest of the cool
Connor had worked up the nerve
With tremendous style and verve
To ask Luz to the dance hoping he wasn’t a fool
