  1. Lines composed in honor of the venerable brothers Julius the presbyter and Julian the deacon (remembered on 21 June)

    Two brothers, Julius and Julian,
    received an order from the Emperor
    that all throughout the empire they should go,
    constructing temples to the living God.
    When they had finished number ninety-nine,
    the younger Julian began to build
    a tomb in which his brother might be laid.
    But when he showed the grave to Julius,
    the elder brother meekly made reply:
    “Make ready, O my brother in the flesh;
    for this tomb is prepared for you, not me.
    Prepare yourself to face the awesome Judge
    before your brother, sinful Julius.”
    Then God appointed Julius to build
    a hundredth church upon an isle at sea;
    and, as he had foretold, his brother died
    before construction had been made complete.
    When it was finished, Julius reposed
    and joined his brother where the righteous dwell.

    In five iambs a line - for me this works!

  11. My 1st grader insists on wearing stained and torn clothes to school. It's inspired me to doggrel:

    Thou wastrel with thine holey shirt and hose,
    a breezy drought follows wheree’re thou goest,
    as if blesst with summer zephyrs all year round
    But blows thine elders’ patience to the ground.

  15. Someone has my sense of humor at my company’s security quiz department.

    In the digital realm where secrets reside,
    Where guardians of data must confide,
    A string of characters, a secret phrase,
    To cloak our treasures from nefarious gaze.

  20. CW: Horror poem

    In covered quiet dark they slip into the trees
    ascending branches high into the canopy
    and when arriving crouch upon their rough scaled knees
    and gaze upon their silver moonlit abbacy

    Pitch eyes compete with blackness where no shadows tread
    an endless plunging void that shuns the touch of light
    and with clawed hands they leap, unfurling wings of dread
    and sreech, and screech, and screech their heartsong through the night

  27. To dine tonight, I shall partake
    Of bratwurst, with a side, oh so fine
    Or maybe, a frozen pizza bake
    To fill my belly and ease my mind

    I'll savor each bite, and let out a sigh
    As flavors of sausage and cheese combine
    A meal fit for a king, or so I
    Shall deem it, as I recline

    So if you should happen to pass my way
    And spy me eating in the fading light
    Do not be shy, but join me, I pray
    And share in this simple, yet delicious, delight.

    Is it odd that image descriptions get so many more characters than textual toots?

  32. CW: suicide, Shakespeare

    This series might be the most disjointed of the soliloquy. Other than in my last post I am not separating lines into separate squares to preserve the pentameter. Hamlet is going through some turmoil here, and Shakespeare shows this in part by making the lines bleed a bit into one another in terms of topic.
