First light gleams
trilling dippers conduct an orchestra
near fast-flowing currents
molding the edges of the day,
raspberries&buttercups
spill sensory backdrop,
misty waterfalls casting
arches of rainbow
adding enchantment

Never-ending cup,
Steaming caffeine dreaming, I
Take another sup.

#MadMarch #Cup#PoetsOfDoom Imaginary critters
Cup-boarder collies cache tea about to steep;
Stealing tea balls, they flash to the kettle's whistle,
fetch tea cups and any sleepy dormice,
herd people to their chamomile or thistle,
then clap down to watch their flock's sleep
become ginormous.

A trianza poem, a form created by Eric Montgomery (@madp03t.bsky.social), written and copyright (c) Eric Montgomery. All Rights Reserved. Fingers trace the outline you left won’t fade Old words hang where I won’t say them caught mid-air Rust gathers on the parts I revisit nothing moves Grief hums low, pretending it’s silence I know better Every attempt slips sideways from me won’t stick Tried to forget, but it remembers me still here
A trianza poem format, a form I created in 2025.
The #trianza blends elements of three #poetry styles:
#Haiku
Waltmarie-style echo
#Acrostic
#madmarch #forget #prompt #poem #writing #5amwritersclub
Forget‑me‑not’s plea
I keep the knot I can’t not
the part that stays blue
#madMarch #forget #haiku
@daveashleypoet.bsky.social
If I could forget
Regret, not be upset, I
Would be someone else.

I forget what I forgot and I forgot what I said this is all so confusing what was I saying again? days blur together memories fall apart every evening at sunset my mind simply departs I don't remember my family or even if I have any how many years left in me? I hope there aren't many
I hope I don't get this old...

#MadMarch #EMBARRASSMENT
Pink and pinker and pinkest-
Nothing rhymes with embarrassment.
That all-or-nothing thing that do-nothings know:
the crushing feeling of being good-for-nothing,
flushing shame, hushing game, rushing blame.
Airbrushing with claims 'twas nothing
worsens embarrassment.
embarrassment rises in pale cheeks as I can feel the redness spread it stings sharp, like a thousand bees yet I don't know what I had said everyone's staring, they all hate me - why? "if you don't know, I'm not gonna say," it's really unfair, I'm not the bad guy but I'll leave to keep peace, I'll go away
Teenage girls are horrid, brutal creatures.

in the valley of our disaster i wait like an animal before it knows what it is looking for before the human catches up with the body before the heat enters the flesh i like how long it takes for something that looks like the truth to arrive the quiet recalibration between being and knowing in that space i like myself best coherent illusive still intact until something with teeth opens within me

Shall we celebrate
every disaster
every abject failure
every misadventure
lost causes
losers
nobodies
non-achievers
doomsters
embarrassments
people who make you cringe
nonentities
and... total turkeys

I mean what I say,
not mean, just clean, too open
embarrassment blooms

Cashier looks away,
Fingernails jagged, ragged,
My embarrassment.

Those splendid cream buns
you left on the table
unattended.
Elastic body
contorted
refined
pulled me in many directions.
The open door of the bank,
security system switched off,
the trail of coins
left on the road.
I lost all moral judgement.

#TEMPTATION
What if I breathed in flames
then spat them out again.
What if I spilled the beans
about all of your naughtiest dreams.
If you turn me around
back and forth,
I’m no ordinary acrobat
swinging in the wind.
We could have a party
and invite the odd ones in.
