Weekly #Prompt - PLEDGE TEASE LEDGER TEMPT JASMINE INSOMNIA

post with hashtag: #inkMine

you are a delight!!

good poem

awwww another cutie cat!!!!

How to prepare a
Country for invasion, first
Step, spread confusion.

Step two, disable
All cohesive government
Functions, sow mistrust.

Step three, fan the flames
Of fear, kick down the doors of
The social contract.

Step four, while panic
Undulates, sit back and wait,
Winter's power cuts.

Let me candid,
let me be clear,
I will be thorough,
deep and sincere

you cannot own me
I am not your possession
you cannot control me
please stop your obsession

Let go
Let go
or you’ll crush me for good

Let go
Let go
just do what you should

awww that's a cutie. I do love the wild walk prompts so much mate. I know I mess around a lot but seriously thanks so much for doing them.

Hello Wild walkĺ

Sat on the roof of a small shed, and staring off into the sunset.
Cats seem to have all the patience In the world... sometimes.

I prefer being a pacifism and kindness

well I hope you did that in privacy!!

Thank you so much for your kind words matey

great band - My favourite is Jack names the planets...

right back to writing stuff.

Misty haze floats across
My brown eyes to black
A flurry of melancholy
Begun as a pleasant reverie
Then the dark shadows
Crept way on in

Sun kissed days
Picnic baskets
Strawberries and cream
All crushed to #ash
All berries now taste sour
No longer are you mine

As a child, my father
was the sun,
spreading #global warmth.

I orbited him
like intrigued #technology—
his insignificant #satellite.

Until he fell,
wings scorched to #ash
and I saw a man
flawed as Icarus.

#Sonder hits—
he too
is broken

just like me.

thanks so much you.l.. im off to bed to be a sickly man for half an hour before I have to do writing.

i think its always great to use slant rhymes as it makes the poem feel as its not forced with regimentality even if you are sticking ardently to the form (or not)

makes it flexible and people look at t it and go "ooo slant rhymes.. that poet is a bit fancy!"

aww thanks Silvia... I think a cup of tea and a little sleep will help

it did... i like playing with refrains and altering them a bit when needed... it shows you can "break" the form without really breaking it. that that takes skill Lin

start of a madrigal for this friday

Sugar thick blood oozing through fat lined veins
physical shit to bemoan the cracked exterior.
Me, doomed excess which makes me inferior.

An aging #relic
I cough, splutter, curse the sky
each ache magnifies

#haikufeels #haiku

I have a cold and feeling sorry for myself!!

Sonder

The world full of people wandering
through life, not part of my solipsist
thoughts.
Caged, discerned and given breath
by my will, my imagination.
Flowing into them,
but in reality, just them, just
they give the world shape.
I must ask
Do they shape me?
Am I their figment?
