#poems — Public Fediverse posts

home at last

home at last where the walls are rumbling,
where the skies are crumbling,
where sheets slicken with silken sheens
blotting sicknesses so defiled,
so revolting and reviled, where every
bed has been made by me
and made poorly; where
long-dead carpenters measured once and cut
twice, thrice, and again – the hourly
wages docked for drinking and
sent home before the work was done; all this
is half-finished, all this
is preamble to prologue. assembly guides
for a world constructed before birth; the
fabric stained in the bolts; the
wood worm-eaten in the forest –
and still, still, this
is home at last.

Late I Am, Blame it on Fate

Or not, maybe

Starting with Esther’s fun run.

Here’s a new limerick challenge for you. Your word this week is CHEW 

Today I use these words to make a roux
Something new and tasty for you to chew 
With no direction my brain silently cries
Not my best answer but I'll give it a try
If you don't like it, well boo-hoo-hoo

What is this ?

WD
Torschlusspanik - toɐ̯ʃlʊsˈpanɪk
Noun - The fear that time to act is running out.
German, 1960s

Staying in tune with limericks today
I try to make sense while I still play
Torschlusspanik is just Greek to me
Time is slowly running out you see
The fear of this is nothing new to me

WORD DAILY PART DUX

WD X2

WD 
Psychagogic - ¦sīkə¦gäjik
Adjective - Attractive, persuasive, inspiring.
Greek, mid-19th century

Another word that is new for me
You are Psychagogic this I can see
I serenade you with song and wine
Letting you know I think you are fine
Come here baby and sit on my knee

Today, a poem. Good Timber, by Douglas Malloch.

#goodtimber #DouglasMalloch #poems #adversity

precipitate

from the roil,
from the boil,
the slush of forgetfulness
frothing; the casting
vapor wafting off;
a hard and shining dust
in the bottom of the pan –
for now, not now, too hot to touch,
but when it cools –
when it cools –
we’ll learn what exactly
was drifting around in there.

5 Great Quotations about Poetr...

Poem: Stay Away Stay Away

Stay away stay away 
Stay away, darkness around him 
Darkness around you all, stay away 
There's nothing fruitful in it 
There's nothing wholesome in it 
There's nothing shaking in it, 
Waiting to come out 
It's all a “white tomb” inside 
And broods “of vipers”
It's all dust and death so 

Stay away stay away

fingers in the spokes

there is an allowable amount of horror;
a simmer agreed upon,
a subset of families dragged
away in the night, a volume of dogs
shot point-blank by the state;
human is the excuse-making animal.
given a slow enough stalking
even a flimsy doe will turn and scream
and kick; will try anything
to alert, to defend.
but our threshold are high.
the factory consumes hands;
every day, one or many –
but so long as the product is good,
who bothers to care?

Αφορμή ένα ρόδο του εσωτερικού κήπου. Με την ευωδια το χρώμα και την ομορφιά του θύμισε ζωή. | SearchingTheMeaningOfLife

Αφορμή ένα ρόδο
του εσωτερικού κήπου.
Με την ευωδιά
το χρώμα
και την ομορφιά του
θύμισε ζωή.
Ήρθε απο πέρασμα
με την πνοή
το φως
και το άγγιγμα του αέρα
των εξωτερικών παραθύρων.

Αν και αόρατα στις αισθήσεις,
μιας κι είχα την ίδια ταχύτητα
κι όμως έθρεψαν ζωή.

Where The Wind Brought Us

https://thetigressawakes.wordpress.com/2026/08/31/where-the-wind-brought-us/

August 18 is Bad Poetry Day! But that may be any day when you're the grotesquely lovestruck Rattio in our underground romantic farce "What Went Down in Goblin Town?" at Pennsic 53 earlier this month!

Check back soon for the full video of this fantastic farce!

Stumbling Block

It seems I have always been stumbling, tripping over the unintended in a fog of wandering wonder.

The mist has been ever around me, my cloud by day. I am enveloped by mystery.

You do indeed love to surprise me, O God;

two girls find shiny stones in a fountain and their joy chases away the despair at not finding a loved one,

the hospitality of friends lightens the weight upon a heavy chest from a returning to what was and the traveler can breathe again into what will be,

a mother’s words and the night breeze dries a daughter’s tears and she can smile at the deep thrum of a bullfrog,

lovers lie for a moment in the morning and the frustrations of yesterday fade into the quiet beginnings of another day.

It is time then.

I rise up into the bone crackling morning, my body protesting, my spirit already stretching out along the places I will see.

Inside, I find I am ready for more stumbling.
