A failed vice presidential candidate.
we had but one job between us,
but no one can remember it;
and loathe to cause another fuss
we hold our tongue as they discuss
the next great swindle they'll commit.

Target practice for ideas
Hitting and missing here and there
Essentially panaceas
Made of funny castaneas
Ensuring balanced humour's care

Dang it, this is a #quintilla, not a #cinquain.
I write poetry, but for what?
Who reads in this way nowadays?
For a world tuned to old cliches
an idyll may as well be smut,
and I a peddler of flawed phrase.

Despite a meteoric rise
she lops her surgical career.
Professions just don't pay, my dear.
Oh, but grift does! That's no surprise!
Keep your soul as a souvenir.

SEDIMENT
—what roots remember when light forgets
In quiet stone, earth’s marrow sleeps,
its pulse unknown to skyward flame.
Beneath the weight, the silence keeps
the names that never came with fame—
not all that breaks is meant to weep.

we #measure the sugar, butter
sift the flour, count and crack eggs
clean the counter of all clutter
listen to the mixer thutter
bake the cake as my daughter begs

Painting of a moon rising behind a shadowed desert cliff in a deep red sky.
Heated arguments might occur
over which came first, this or that,
and you can deny or concur
depending on which you prefer:
whether fowl or ovum begat.

Painting of what could be a hillside or hole in the ground. Bright dots ascend, or descend, from or in front of it.
A 'pss, pss, pss,' with emphatic,
finger-down, flinging of the hands
usually does the trick. Disbands
the offenders. Sure, dramatic,
but sound. Everyone understands.

#apotropaic #quintilla #poetry #painting
A dramatic desert painting. One hillside in shadow, another under what might be moonlight, but the hillside is blood red. The sky is blues and golds, a rough brushstrokes.
As if you don't know it by now,
there is no devil, nor a god,
no exile to the land of nod.
Just stories from the old and odd
to seize from you a useful vow.

For words the old man is grasping,
his crowd confusedly gasping.
While they keenly swallow his bile,
his weakness they can't but revile.
Excuses he's faintly rasping.
#quintilla #poetry
Idly toying with toy soldiers,
a thumb on table makes a drum,
wreathed by terrified beholders,
the god of fortresses is glum.
Our thin hope, still and all, smolders.

Exhausted writing misery
regardless of delivery
unwelcome news is unwelcome
listen to me, try to sell some
poetry sans felicity
#quintilla #poetry
How many scams must we endure?
These broken pipe-dreams of the rich,
of the breathless entrepreneur,
among their piles of cash they hitch
the risks to us through means obscure.
#quintilla #poetry
At some point they must have purpose,
these words we write one another.
All the empty ones are worthless
and blur our lives' vital sharpness.
Meaningful words make a rupture.
#quintilla #poetry
To craft a viral social post
self-righteous anger does the job.
Panic, besides, bothers the mob,
or if you're not an upright snob
a clever lie writ as riposte.
