As the weather snaps
Nature’s fall change jolts me from
My brain’s foggy haze

The poet-songwriter, Silvia Passiflora, in full-length floral gown bathed in purple stage light. Her shadow cast upon the wall behind. She has a ukulele strapped across her body as she gathers her gown to take a deep bow before the audience.

#961 The Grammy® is Not a Trophy

They misunderstand,
the Grammy®
is not a trophy.
It’s a doorway,
and sometimes the novice knocks
just to prove the door exists.

————-

“Novice” derives from the Latin novicius (“newly come”) — used in monasteries for those beginning the vows

#960

I vow from now on
useless overthinking is
tomorrow’s relic

#959 The Queen’s Reconnaissance

The Queen does not chase.
She watches.
And the world, sensing her patience, rearranges itself to be chosen.

Good morning, Michael! 🌞

#958 Crow

In the scheme of things
the crow enjoys nature’s spoils
black feast attire

Universe blesses
The type of people who ask

“Bless your heart!” she drawled
Rancor’s resting b#tch face smiled
Like a snake in grass

Laundered into #pulp fiction
where we’re still a thing

A breakup can feel
Like a splinter in a dream
I felt it all night

At Fetid Farms for Old Cows
living out their days

#ghastly behavior
from social trolls and haters
Why not ghost instead?

A Conundrum is a Cunning Drum

A #conundrum is a cunning drum,
beating more than one truth
at the same time.

The snare catches one hand,
the ride carries the other

Yet from the throne,
the drummer rules in dominion,
commanding the band
from the back of the stage.

Tin Foil Lunch

My experience as an immigrant kid. I later became a world-class chef and started my own boutique catering company. But I’ll never forget the childhood switch from foil lunches to baloney sandwiches.

I’m tired of the constant chase that is social media. Artists can easily become self-inflicted victims of goalpost shifting algorithms. I’m switching to maintenance mode on socials but I’m securing my presence on my own website. #poetry

Poet, smiling, holding a clay bird whistle.

#944
And so I endure,
ignoring the gaze,
I endure for the river that drinks from my shade,
for the sparrow that lands
without asking my name.

Good morning, Michael! 🍊
