He is #livid
that no one
listens to him
even his wife
and his children
humour him
but there is
no respect
due his position
but they are smart
to not rock the boat
and wait.
#emoetry #writing #writingcommunity #poetry
in human nature
it's okay to be livid
but things always break

Livid is blue-black,
Or it was.
Then it was "pale" or "colourless",
But no more.
Now, it means "angry",
And red. 🤷
Tricky coves, colours...

it wasn't so much anger built up over generations
powder kegging the moral fabric of society
no one knew what to expect would follow
we only knew to feel something had to give
we were livid at how wealth was
being greedily funneled into fewer and fewer hands
while we fought for scraps #emoetry
quiet warmth held them
a gentle silence so full
of words unspoken…
Night had reversed roles:
his head resting on her breast
yielded All to her…

The sprites surrounded
Their brethren’s corpse, livid, then
Thunder screamed in pain
The heavens wept at the loss
Innocence laid slain.

Beware the fight of a livid sprite;
they turn viscid, like boo-glue
Sticking on your booty so it can't be shifted.
When miffed, sprites simply won't be lifted.
When you've gotten one in a real stew,
Putting on pants is an ugly sight.
livid, I tremble
as your words slip the page and
turn into living
#emoetry #livid #haiku #writing #micropoetry
Lavish lifestyles of
Luxury's lapdogs, vivid
Dreams of livid flames.

#livid waves
lapping
the edges of
her reality -
calm presence
before the storm,
poised there
on the
precipice
dive
in,
be reborn

#emoetry prompt for 3/29 is #Livid
#writingcommunity #poetry #blueskypoets
Ripples of thawfade,
Crawl when sun sprites wrap themselves
Around frozen limbs,
The livid cold melting off
And smiles ripple when spring starts.

why do I have a flat affect? perhaps years of being ignored while being told to be the best, left to my own devices to be a mediocre student maybe a mediocre human I'm full of hopelessness with a side of worthless and "you're a disappointment" for dessert - it's enough to drain the life out of anyone like a beast who thrives on pain and misery like one would suck the marrow from bones but to do that to a beast while it's still alive would be cruel - why is it okay if it's feelings and words instead of actual bones?
A lifetime of being basically an afterthought, if you're thought of at all, hurts.
(I'm ok, this is just for the poem - suffering for my art and all that)

I was warned of it's fury
I #ignored all the hype
not one to worry
I'm just not the type
when that first hot flash hit
there was no way of coolin'
I thought, holy shit
those suckers weren't foolin'
other changes in me
no thank you please
a trickle of pee if I laugh cough or sneeze

a big man
never throws his weight around
cuz he can
maybe the littlest feller in town
ain't never ran
#ignored but won't hide
when #illusive quits & reality hits
u want him on yer side
his only control
is in his hulahoop
that's self
tryin' fer more's a loop
of bad mental health
You wanted to meet
I faced with #dread
the #encounter
at the #stadium
I felt #ignored
while the crowd roared
privacy was #illusive
no one was listening
everyone watching
on the jumbotron
I became elusive:
I just left, you
didn't notice

Poem: Through
#writingcommunity #poetry #blueskypoets @mwplovesmusic.bsky.social
Outside of the city lights, down the lane from cookiecutter houses. Rest the cast offs that social media posts don't care about. Ignored by so-called public awareness, under the boot of scorn. Every adult who was called different. Each face worthy of notice. Every heart as valuable as yours
#emoetry
Ignorance is bliss I like to say
Go ahead miss it all
Not worth the effort
Overlook me and move on
Really I prefer it
Even better this way
Don’t pretend you tried
#emoetry #ignored #poetry #acrostic #writing
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

each try brought fresh wounds
as he traversed the barbed wire
his heart raw…exposed
rivulets of blood
streamed down, red ribbons as sharp
as their wire fences

Ignored child
becomes fawning
adult,
adding sugar to
every cup
to get by,
acceptance
is
illusive,
tickling fingertips
on an out of tune
piano;
Charming your
way through,
vaudeville character
in absurd drama
or just keep eating
the cake that makes
you smaller
and smaller

#Ignored
unnoticed
like the steps we take
down crowded hallway
so focused on
making it to English
just one building over
and up a flight of stairs
and all these doubts
(of whether we matter)
disappear behind
lectures on verb conjugation
#emoetry
He's a moron that man
in cahoots with the Klan
they cheered when he ran
ignored his orange tan
such bullshit began
the fires he fanned
he flunked a brain scan
load his shit on the van
need end this damn scam
#emoetry (ignored)
WE WILL BE THERE When quietude seems illusive in a world bound by its own flailing, when your pleas for coherence seem to go ignored as your memories split themselves into infinity, we will be there holding a chalice the size of a planet's fist from which you can drink until your wounds become a backdrop for a party where every guest shares your newborn smile and cuddles your frown until it becomes a hummingbird that files south for today.
Despite what the alphas and misanthropes may say, community is super important for our survival and quality of life!
