WORDLE #107

For Sunday Whirl: Dressing, Thousand, Messages, Count, Spit, Front, Pulsing, Charm, Thunderous, Dish, Soup, Red.

REACTION

Overdue a dressing-down
A thousand text messages
(At the very latest count)
Spit their angry words at him
While he stands at front of house
Pulsing with offensive charm
Receives thunderous applause
For serving Dish of the Day
In this jumped-up Soup Kitchen!

You could say I'm seeing red...

NAPOWRIMO 2013 #30

AM I SAVING THE BEST TILL LAST?

One hundred per cent

Satisfaction guaranteed!

 

It doesn't get

Any better than that...

 

Or does it...?

 

I'm gonna show you

The deal

Of a lifetime!

 

Now...

 

Are you in...?

Or out?

 

Good...!

HEADING HOME

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=cfiE_5O9Dn0


Coming to the conclusion
Illusion, reality
Normality returning

Learning from the beginning
Winning is not important
Oughtn't be a distraction

Satisfaction is derived
(Not contrived) from taking part

Heart and soul, body and mind
Find their own way to express
Less or more, it makes no odds

Nods of approval follow
Swallow hard... Soon be over...!

WORDLE

Under oath, should I swear
I saw rare, but harrowing
thin, transparent grubs
that chilled me to the marrow?

I guess it's either
borrow some courage
or steal a march
by telling the truth...

CATCH 22

They say the greater part of valour
Is discretion
While possession is nine tenths
Of the law
And though the score may be settled
At your leisure
They'll take the pleasure all the same
And what is more...

Like a cat with nine whole lifetimes
To enjoy
They'll employ your services
Time after time
They're well aware that they're exploiting
Your emotions
But your devotion is a weakness
Not a crime...

And by the time you realise
You have a voice
You'll know your choice of silence
Was your fatal flaw
So you'll ignore the urge to run
From their circus
Because escape is not an option
Anymore...

OWERNERSHIP

At certain times it may be inappropriate
Here's hoping that we're not caught unawares
At certain times it may be unconventional
Intentional or otherwise, who cares?
At certain times it may be inconvenient
You're lenient, but flexible you're not
At certain times it may be untraditional
Conditions will dictate who says what's what
At certain times it may be unacceptable
This aspect will take some time to evolve
At certain times it may be unforgiveable
But, if at all it's possible, absolve
At certain times it may be inexcusable
It used to be unusual, times past
At certain times it may be inconceivable
That data is retrievable, at last
At certain times it may be unbelievable
That some things are achievable at all
At certain times it may be undeniable
That I am able to receive the call
At certain times it may be inexplicable
How quickly we are able to accept
At certain times it may be disagreeable
This will be all we'd normally expect
At certain times it may be inconsiderate
Or did a bit of thought go into it?
At certain times it may be irresponsible
And once you walk away, the blame will hit
At certain times it may be unavoidable
Devoid of any barriers or walls
At certain times it may be unreliable
So try and see if someone's got the balls
At certain times it may be unadvisable
A sizeable majority agree
But then again, at times it's understandable
Demand a reason why this should not be
At times like this, it's absolutely critical
To literally stand up for your cause
And times like this you've got to have the way with all
To say with all your heart, what's yours, is yours

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON

(c1948)



You're my dad


You look like me


Or at least


How I used to be


When I was the same


As you were then



(c1991)


(c1989)



Now all that remains


Of these two men


Is some photographs


Before and after


And two whole lifetimes


Of love and laughter


(2013)






MORE 24... For Miz Quickly's wordle

LOOPHOLE

Slip knot detour
Avoids cold slab aftermath

Shocked, boring guest
Furiously crossed palm
With 'modest' transfer value

VIRTUAL REALTY

I've grown accustomed to those telly sessions
of very professional declutterers
not just mutterers of minimalist dogma
but trog practitioners of home-improvement makeovers
who want to take over our thought process
in order to possess our body and mind
so they can blind us with art not science

Giants they are definitely not...

They've just got a lot of big ideas
to match their big-wig careers
and their not so grand designs

RANDOM ACCESS

 

 

At one time

or another

I thought I knew

a thing or two

 

Friend or foe

I'd have a go

 

Win or not

unimportant

 

Taking part

the achievement

 

Now I know

a thing or three

my memory

a loyal servant

takes great care

to keep me posted

stores events

but most of all

gives me a sense

of satisfaction

 

My reaction

to a challenge

is to keep

that healthy balance

at my core

 

And now I'm sure

that day or night

my mind is strong

 

Am I right?

 

Or am I... wrong?

DON'T ASK

No promise of shelter from
the bomb you detonated

The infidels you hated
will always struggle to thrive
unless they learn to survive

Due diligence hardens them
Resilience guards their aim

They must fight around the clock
against those who wish to shock
until you've shipped all your stock

...And your land is a spent force

ASK http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=gMY4W0l4peY

A NAPOWRIMO VISIT

-or-

AW... IMPROVISATION!

A brief explanation before I commence
Waiting for words that make some kind of sense...

I'm writing this straight off the top of my head
Making it up as I think about bed
Paper and Pen, in the old-fashioned way
Ready to play?
Or call it a day?
Vocal attachment might be an idea
I'll have to speak up so that people can hear
Set up my camera in video mode
Actions speak louder, my research has showed
Timing is crucial... Or so somebody (whose name I don't remember) once said
It's getting quite late now... I'm ready for bed
Only one line left to finish this verse
Now leave a comment... Go on... Do your worst...!

Sorry about video quality and the illusion of appearing sideways... but it is VERY early Saturday morning

NAPOWRIMO 2013 #19

Based on Day 19 prompt from Miz Quickly

In the 'Flamethrower' form as devised by
Sweet Talking Guy

UNDERESTIMATED

Under repair, tear track tide mark, the norm
Normal service will be resumed some day
Daily dose, designed to entertain
Enter train, and we’ll take her for a ride
Rid her mind of all unwanted extras
Extrovert behaviour displayed sometimes
Sum total of her time amounts to trash
True clash of personality insight
Incited by action bordering madness
Made mess difficult to clean up after
At her own home she can seem more tidy
Tidy tailor made bespoke emotions
Emulsion painted on and taken down
Drowning in her tears she’s going under

MARINE TEST DUDE

Made mess difficult to clean up after
At her own home she can seem more tidy
Rid her mind of all unwanted extras
Incited by action bordering madness
Normal service will be resumed some day
Emulsion painted on and taken down

True clash of personality insight

Extrovert behaviour displayed sometimes
Sum total of her time amounts to trash
Tidy tailor made bespoke emotions

Daily dose, designed to entertain

Under repair, tear track tide mark, the norm
Drowning in her tears she’s going under
Enter train, and we’ll take her for a ride

 

DEMAND TRUE SITE

Drowning in her tears she’s going under

Emulsion painted on and taken down
Made mess difficult to clean up after
At her own home she can seem more tidy
Normal service will be resumed some day
Daily dose, designed to entertain

Tidy tailor made bespoke emotions

Rid her mind of all unwanted extras
Under repair, tear track tide mark, the norm
Enter train, and we’ll take her for a ride

Sum total of her time amounts to trash

Incited by action bordering madness
True clash of personality insight
Extrovert behaviour displayed sometimes

NEWTON'S 3RD

Blue light patrol in the no-go zone
New tight control sets a slow-mo tone
Patience and tact disperse the factions
No fast reactions
Crime-rate subtractions

Street gangs regroup and revive the noise
'Sweet Cantaloupe' leads the East Side boys
Tooled-up for action the air is tense
Feel the suspense
Search for some sense

Side streets deserted you heard the shout
High heat alert spreads the word about
Road junction lookouts adorn the morning
Large crowds are forming
No further warning...

BROKEN NEWS

April 17 Year of the Snake

Kim Jong Un, in North Korea
Threatens war; thermonuclear
Pyongyang ready to attack?
Seoul defences, watch your back!

Meanwhile, over in USA
Boston bombers have their say
Finish Line, so near, so far
In the long run, fatal scar

Cyprus, China; here's an oddity
Blamed for price fall in commodities
Crude Oil, Gas, as bad as Gold
Stack it high and get it sold!

British public on its best
Maggie Thatcher, laid to rest
Past mistakes now glorified
Cameron's actions justified

That's the news, now here's the weather
This winter chill might last forever
So wrap up warm and stay indoors
Await the war to end all wars
