The explosion nears
I hear the sound approaching
My dream - Chernobyl


Thought I'd go a little easy and do a Haiku.

DISTRIBUTION

A methodical way to determine one's self worth,
Output...input it's all about weights and measures.
Income distribution, per capita sizing us up like gold or silver,
Negative effects of classifications and black market economic discrimination.

A lucrative invention of moving stuff,
FedEx, UPS, USPS, even Dominos Pizza.
The ability of a particle and its changing spatial accessibility,
An increase in supply will surely push the gas pedal.

Leading into travel distribution or people moving,
Car, boats, planes, trains, even a horse and carriage, if you're Amish.
Congestion, pollution, traffic lights, parking tickets,
Equates to nothing more than trips generated and probabilities of cost.

And then there is....

Theatrical release, gross ticket sales, opening day at the box,
Agents, producers, directors and then distribution.
Where one's hours of writing has a single chance to shine brighter than the sun,
And travel down that distribution channel of.....sweet success.

Late to the party; sorry

Out of town all week.


Today is not like another
That will ever greet me again
Uncertainty that draws me to the conclusion that
That my world dances out of control

But when decisions are made
When yes or no has been said
Those uncertainties become my conclusion
And my decisions restore my control

period

and the new sentence begins
to ramble on and then off we
go to find the meaning of a
world I knew when I was told
to watch the signs I wasn't
older than a child under
covers huddled in the night
afraid of the light, the flame,
the candle burning for the dead
instead I searched for that
reason, another lonely person
who you are on a good day I
say is who they aren't on
bad days when they rant and
shout out an exclamation

The Storm

Dark clouds loom overhead,
A tropical storm's coming they said.
They say her name is Beryl,
Hope she doesn't leave us in peril.

The wind's starting to pick up,
I'm gonna find my red solo cup.
And fill it with my favorite plum wine,
And on nuts and crackers I'll dine.

While the rain and hail get kickin,
To the red box some movies I'm pickin.
A night bunking in at the house,
With me, my cat and my spouse.

So if yall never see me again,
Remember I'm your favorite pale friend.
Pale yellow somewhere over the rainbow,
With Dorothy, the Wizard and the scarecrow.

Cheers.....................

Though I don't write poetry. I've enjoyed reading these. There's a connection, I think, between poetry and screenwriting. Both, when they're good, have a rhythm, a kind of beat

We congregate in cubicles
pray to electronic gods
who bring us satisfaction
in the form of apps in blogs

We fight in little boxes
that are joined by wireless
but who will be the victor
and who does Diablo bless

Our dreams are our screensavers
glassless 3D in our slumbers
we wake-up to Facebook friends
there's safety in our numbers

We once took a walk in the woods
hand-in-hand down a dirt path
colored leaves fell from a tree
while we talked and while we laughed

I uploaded the video to You Tube
it got tons of views.

Is unconventional okay?

If so this will stand.

If not, delete but I want to say it.

It's called...

Rant!

Oh come on! Are you serious? F uck me?!
I didn’t ask for this. No F ucking way.
What? No! Bu llshit, It's not what I asked.

Of everything I said, this wasn't it and you know it.
You F ucking know it?
What?
No! And I have said it repeatedly!

I won’t do this with you again.
It's been said.
Stop and I will as well
But you won’t. The f uck you won’t.
And I can't

But you will never get it
As I cannot with your directions on me
You rule
But not in my world
Only in your one puppet kingdom

Wow Day 6,  halfway through.....

Excellent entries from Yellow (Dana, correct?) and Shawn.  

And we even have someone named Seven who enjoys reading them.  Nothing in this world can make a poet happier.  

For today's challenge I want to get emotional....

You can write about any emotion but you have to include the opposite emotion in your poem...

A poem about love must include hate (or as some people say indifference).  A poem about happiness must include sadness.  It can be any emotion and its opposite counterpart...  Go for it.

Pumped Up

While skipping through the forest, I came upon
a fairy ring and then it dawned on me...
How especiallly pumped up I feel this week..this day
As if  walking on clouds and singing proud.

I mean pure satisfaction like winning the lottery
Or even raised up as high as Lucy in the Sky-- but without diamonds...
Because I don't even like diamonds and to me
Money surely means everything.

Friends are so groovy as sweet as psychedelic miniblinds
And I just feel inflated to a point of total contentment...
I feel approval all around like falling into a patch of stinging nettles
While the pleasurable punctures hurt so good.

Satisfied, content, loved, full of pride and confident...
I mean totally -- pumped up!
