Hangry (14 of 365)

Welcome to day 13 of the 365 day poem challenge.

This is the 13th poem posted, and this is the 13th word of the day.

Lugubrious meaning: "looking or sounding sad and dismal."

Hangry

Don't dare sit there with that lugubrious smile
To make me feel sorry 
To make me go weak at the knees?
You toad stool
You root canal pain searing
Soaring pimply puss

Don't smile that doleful way
Don't pray for forgiveness 
My docile ursine
Don't be be such a prickly nervous 
Fatigue inducing puppy-eyed child!

Your countenance will not save you today
You shall not be spared!

Don't try to pluck an answer 
From your bowels 
You fetid bog of a human
No solution can account for
This vacuum of aspiration

That is your drooping melancholy
Your feelings are getting in the way
Obstructing gnawing burning 

Well hop to it,
My bottomless pit of rage 
Can only be quenched by one
Salve only
Food!

Yellow Lane (11 of 365)

 
Welcome all to day 11 of my 365 day poem challenge ! 

Word of the day Obsequious meaning "obedient or attentive to an excessive or servile degree."

Yellow lane

There's a calm yellow lane
Where I can rest 
It's simple enough
Bricks thin and compact
It has a smooth painted ground

Near to my future self
I recline obsequious on the smooth yellow paint 
Relaxing in my calm yellow mind
Swollen with pride 

The future calls down a dark
Aisle with a white light
It reminds me of judgement
And baptism 
With an embalming quality 
there is no rebirth here

I grab a smooth invisible hand
I close my eyes
It is the breeze 
And it's time to get up
Time to leave my yellow lane. 

Magnanimous Custody Papers (10 of 365)

Welcome to day 10 we are hitting double digits today.

Time for a timely Haiku. 

Magnanimous defined as "generous or forgiving, especially towards a rival or less powerful person."

Magnanimous Custody Papers

What a bore this is 
Yet this is my life for ten 
years, lost in white space.

Sorry (9 of 365)


Welcome all to day 9 of the daily poem posting challenge! 

Word of the day Yeoman "a man holding and cultivating a small landed estate; a freeholder"
 
Sorry 

I am sorry 

This was the indulgence 
Not permitted this was the step
Too far
To admit my wrong doing
Would cause all to unravel
My negligence laid bare
Too great to fathom
Shall I hide them beneath the radioactive tinfoil conspiracies
The lies that I feed myself 
Like a little pup sniffing after a treat
Oblivious to the harm
There is no ire 
I'm protected behind this cloak of deceit
These gloaming deceitful spheres
Farewell my integrity 
Farewell my heart song and soul sprint
Farewell my youth 
Farewell passion and exuberance
Welcome now to the grey company of deceives
Dollar chasers 
Proud yeomen of a failed crop
They laugh at you, you know.

They laugh all the way home
Stories are told of your 
Caprice and greed 
Your moral turpitude

All for the absence of two short words: "I'm sorry."

Lascivious Harvest (6 of 365)

Welcome all I've set myself a challenge one poem every day for the rest of the year and in every new poem a new word that I am not sure or don't know the meaning of. 

Welcome to my experiment I hope you enjoy or are suitably appalled of confused.

Word of the day lascivious "feeling or revealing an overt sexual interest or desire."

Welcome readers to day 6.

Lascivious Harvest 

The white swell 
The ocean conjures to mind
The salt on my lascivious 
Probing 

Nectarine soft swollen 
Seed core
Perspires fresh rosy red

Lemon crush 
Lips sting sour
Sweet suckling flesh 

Tangerine auburn sweet
Exposed segments and tendons
Scintillating flushed membrane

Apple of my eye
Kiss my teeth
Down my gob
Tasty, good to eat.

Bland Morning (7 of 365)

Welcome all to the first milestone one week of the post a poem for a day challenge I have set myself. 

Word of the day "vaunted" meaning boast about or praise (something), especially excessively"


Bland Morning 

In the news today 
White noise

Black man
Blasted point blank
No remorse

The much vaunted white man 
Shining like nitroglycerin

Yawning I reach for my cereal bowl
My bowels tremble and settle 
Processing the lactose and sugar

Tsunami down the city goes
Like dominos
No survivors 

Now on my mobile texting this or that person
Facebook App, news feed reveals another Puff post 
Like that 
But wish there was an unlike button

Malnourished the boys
Skin sticks to his bones
Flies feast on his cracked bleeding skin

Some people in some country
Were bombed there remains
A plume of grey white gas on

Television screen 

I turn the remote in my hand
Depress the button
The images and sound are sucked back inside

Out the door 
Down the stairs
Scroll through my news app

Fire in the neighbouring suburb
The family a mother, father
Little boy five-ish stare 

In other news DC and Marvel
Continue their war for supremacy
Disney expands its corporate branches
Some pink faced fellow rambles for the hope of presidency

Important issues 
Puff and fluff

I yawn and put it away,
Back in my pocket.
