  1. free enterprise, baby

    when all the world is
    bought and bartered;
    when all is tallied
    and weighed;
    what do you own?
    and
    who owns you?

  2. Just another night and another lie

    Can’t pinpoint

    The moment when life did become this

    It’s just another night

    And another lie

    You keep telling to me

    Because this time

    It is too late for you to turn back home

    So don’t drive back home

    Drive to that other one’s house and stay

    Because that is what you have kept doing so long now

    You didn’t think I knew about that?

    Well I did

    And stop that

    It’s just another day making mistakes

    How we all make mistakes in life

    Cheating is never mistake

    It is choices and decisions

    You made

    And you weren’t even drunk

    So what is your excuse this time?

    We ain’t together on this anymore

    You keep driving somewhere else all the time

    And I won’t turn blind eye on it

    Never again

    It’s over this time

    Because I’m making out alive

    But this love won’t be

    It has been dead long time now

    I just didn’t want admit it

    Life hast to be more than this

  3. My Time

    Why does my heart sing
    at the velvet touch of night
    in winter's darkness?

  4. Altar Stone

    Worn stones face the wind,
    singing ancient mysteries
    of those who raised them;
    bones of the earth, offering
    secrets, in the sky's temple.

    What's your favorite book or essay on Emily Dickinson?

    Can be a straight bio or something more akin to criticism. Any style, straightforward or more creative. Old or new, doesn't matter.

    That is the reason why I write haiku, create poetic forms, and run magazines. Words can absolutely transform the way we see the world.

  16. #ScribesAndMakers 5 Nov: There was a snake in the road...

    There was a snake in the road
    who had a good lunch with a toad
    he took a siesta
    but a fast Ford Fiesta
    squashed him into flat mode.

  18. Walking on the Ceiling

    Being on top 
    of this world
    means
    nothing.

    That is why
    our endeavor
    is often called
    the upsidedown
    kingdom.

    We are to be
    educated in
    a new kind
    of gravity.

    When we walk
    on the ceiling,
    the things in
    our pockets
    fall out.

  21. She, or: Then

    A Senryū

    she ruined dating
    by being interesting
    then disappearing

    Tanka Tuesday

    For Tanka Tuesday, we are invited to write a senryū.

    Senryū?

    A senryu has three or more lines in a short–long–short pattern, such as 2–3–2, 3–5–3, or the traditional 5–7–5 syllables, totaling approximately twelve syllables in shorter forms. It neither rhymes nor uses metaphors or similes.

    Senryu explore love, personal experiences, human foibles, and life’s awkward moments, often with irony, humor, or sarcasm. Tone is central, though humor is not required. Unlike haiku, which focuses on evoking a feeling, senryu focuses on the human condition and makes a point.

    Let’s write poetry together!

    When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

    –Ben Harper (b. 1969)

  22. Caveat: Poem #3741 "A task for the afternoon"

    #Poetry #Cinquain

    ㅁ
    The tide
    was sorta low;
    I detached the bottom
    end of the boat trolley cable;
    it rained.

  23. #HumblePoeticCranes

    in the darkness
    I can be anyone’s ghost
    in the darkness
    I’m happily graceless
    in the darkness
    occasionally
    trouble will find me
    in the darkness
    occasionally
    I’ll be the sleep well beast

  24. The mighty Mavors, jealous to behold
    A Mars more mighty nor himself below,
    Did once resolve his rivall to ore’throw…

  25.  Darkness at the break of noon
     Shadows even the silver spoon
     The handmade blade, the child’s balloon
     Eclipses both the sun and moon
     To understand you know too soon
     There is no sense in trying

  26. Fog shroud
    and clouds
    (when the clock
    chimed late
    in the heavy
    November night-
    time) lifting
    the mystery
    for a greater
    drifted
    off a whole
    white full
    moon pitched
    above the white
    thin chimney-
    stalk of the
    new Dawsholm
    incinerator…

    —Edwin Morgan, “Guy Fawkes Moon”

    Womanhood

    When I was three,
    a tsunami hit town.
    “Daddy, Daddy, save me,
    don’t let me drown.”
    He saved me
    and my common-type dolls.

    When I was sixteen,
    another tsunami hit town.
    I cried to my daddy,
    “Daddy, Daddy, please save me,
    don’t let me drown!”
    But he let go of my hand!

    I still dance
    to what broke on my life.

    [Juliet Kono]

  31. CW: Coffee Economics

    My Coffee
    November 5, 2026

    my coffee
    indicates prosperity
    by thin degree

    we approach
    rabbit starvation
    light roasted, fatless

    voices intermittent
    migraine code-talking
    catching empty air

  32. NO DESEO ABRIR LA BOCA

    “No deseo abrir la boca
    ¿A qué podría cantar?
    En mí, a quien la vida odia,
    tanto da cantar que callar.
    ¿Acaso debo hablar de dulzura
    cuando siento tanta amargura?
    Ay, el festín del opresor
    me ha tapado la boca.
    Sin nadie al lado en la vida
    ¿a quién dedicar mi ternura?
    Tanto da decir, reír,
    morir, existir.
    Yo y mi forzada soledad
    con mi dolor y mi tristeza.
    He nacido para nada
    mi boca debería estar sellada.

  37. Did you know that right now in #America if you stripped every #Multimillionaire and #Billionaire to only $20million, and re-disturbed their #wealth to the rest of #Americans, each American would get a one time payment of around ~$87,087.00, now as a member of the 34.5 million people that live in #poverty in this country, that could be a massive boost, sadly it wont last long, currently I am at around $16k a year if I am lucky, the median #income in #America is ~$46,960 per year, so that ~$87,087.00 for the average American is only a 2 year buffer assuming they have the ability to directly stick it into a high yield savings, for someone like me, if I choose to remain in #poverty mode, I could maybe have a 5.5year buffer, and as much help I need right now, that simply is not enough to insure my health stability security or my future even at 48 years old currently, worse then stripping and re-disturbing that wealth is taxing it, as much as I hate to say it, taxing them harder will not trickle down to those of us in poverty and will do nothing for the average American either, personally I despise the wealth inequality there is, and I personally I believe no person needs nor should be allowed to have beyond $20million, but as of right now, there is no way to actually right the inequality and actually make a lasting and meaningful impact for all;

  38. the flower in the pavement

    they call it a weed
    though it blooms,
    it blooms!
    they try
    to kill what survives;
    with gall to rise
    from the festered earth
    the stone, the unwelcoming
    womb of
    civic planning;
    they call every
    flower a weed that
    isn’t bought;
    and that’s the difference –
    the key –
    you can’t buy weeds.

  39. It is the morality of man that measures his representation in the scrolls of time, for when you cross morality fidelity ideology and faith, you begin to make supplications as well as excuses to justify your lapsing morality, for when the ground beneath your feet begins to shift, it is then you must dig in your heals and stand on what is morally right, or you will fall for what is wrong;
