Enter the protection mask!
Xerox it for cheaper use
Inside, I anticipate
Terrible futures, so many of them.

Confession – Day 19, November PAD
Closing my hands before my heart
Obliviating all that I know,
Neglecting signs and prophecies,
Facts, but also fiction,
Escaping beyond the realm of everydays,
Silently and
Smiling
I go
On, and I do
Not plan to stop.

Easy and Difficult – Day 10, November PAD
Early signs
Arrive at my threshold
“Surprise will be
Yours today!”
Diving into tremor
I feel I am
Facing and age-old dilemma,
“Flight or Fight”. My mind races
Irrational as to what’s next.
Closing my eyes won’t help
Unless it does, in which case the
Less I see,
The better.

Password, acrostic
Hello and Happy New year 2018! That’s a valid thing to say throughout January, so I’m totally up-to-date. Here is something small for today.
Password
Protocol requires that
All access is allowed in exchange for a
Suitable code –
Something cryptic
Which
Only the chosen few can
Remember
Down the road

Did you recognise it? It’s an acrostic, and it was written for Poetic Asides, Wednesday Prompt #421. With plenty of cool verse over there.
who do you think you are
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?
A very good question, asked by Marie Elena and Walt at Poetic Bloomings – Prompt #66
Mellow as a rotting melon
Arrogant beyond belief and reason
Raw and rigid as barbarian
Interested in plenty things, ignorant of most
Young in spirit, yawning all the time
Ambitious to leave a trace, futile.
Kilograms of tears, kilotons of explosion – all too easily spent
Outstanding when it comes to theory
Loving mainly herself
Enthusiastic to dive in regular depressions
Very hard to please, impossible to live with
After all that above, should we really care?

ONSET, Limerick and Acrostic
Today my blog features a fun Two-in-One experience, combining the Acrostic with the Limerick. The prompt I acted upon could be found here: Acrostic Only
Limerick – ONSET
***
One fellow took off for the town
Not knowing that he had no gown
So the moment he went
Every eye was content
To enjoy at that beautiful clown.

Rhythm, Day 24
NaPoWriMo, Day 24
1. Acrostic Only, SW – Rhythm
Rhythm rules the abyss
Hailing over dead wood
You wasted time alone
Timeless patterns get you
Hunting on your own
Mindful, random and forlorn.
2. Poetic Asides – Morning
Blue highways
Rolling over
Your sleepiness
On that blissful verge
Your dreamy blinks abide
Still sleepy self can feel
The blue outside
Where birds are chirring
Is there coffee steaming?

No dice, Day 22
No reason, Acrostic
Acrostic Only, March prompts:
#TW No Reason
N either here nor there
O r, in fact, anywhere
R everies invite us off
E scaping any real cause
A nd just skating through
S lopes and crossing planes
O nly listening to sounds
N ot looking for results

Cupcake, Acrostic
The Acrostic Only prompt for Food and Drink in March is CUPCAKE. I tried my hand at a Septilla. Just for the record, there are many nice septet forms. I found it hard to pick one. I am not a great lover of cupcakes, but can’t deny they have appealing looks 🙂
#F&D Cupcake
C upping my hands
U nder false pretence
P utting chill away
C uddling the reserve
A waiting the rebirth
K eeping warmer ways
E njoying sweet stands
