Misty Morn

Posted on 07/30/2025 by admin

Enveloped mystical translucent weavebuildings draped ghostly gauzy laden huesa foggy opacity disintegrates on cueleaving spectral remnants roaming free.Clothing nature, whimsy decorating treesmagic enchanting the weakened blueas sky diminishes in a cotton museclouds ephemeral floating thick just to be. Over the horizon the sun eruptscoruscating cascading warming rayslancing through the gossamer threads. Mist slowly disappearing, gold…

Ogre

Posted on 07/30/2025 by admin

In the lair decorated with darknessremnants of bone lay shattered under foot,we came across a fearsome ogrebathed in blood carrying a meat hook. Dripping with gore and slime ridden slaughterit turned and opened its crimson hell mawyelling a curdling invidious crya deep baleful paralysing roar. I stood and watched it dispatch the othershacking bodies, tearing…

Posted on 07/16/202507/16/2025 by admin

Revive that hope, lift your headSuffer not the surmounting fearWe are the ones who are in chargeThe ones that they should dread. Suffer not the surmounting fearBurn their idols to the groundIconoclasts to pull them down. We are the ones who are in chargeWho rebel against their horrific mightNo longer listening to all their shite….

By the bank

Posted on 07/16/202507/16/2025 by admin

Rambling along the river’s edgeHand in hand as carefully tread.Watching beauty as it unfoldssoft waters by, gently sped. Carrying the fragrance boldflowers shimmer, reflecting gold.Beauty laden with arcane graceanother nature’s secret told By the bank enjoying the pacegazing deep, each other’s faceglowing. Imbued with pure romancethe hours drift from morn to late. Nothing matters, nothing…

Gazing over the crowd

Posted on 07/16/202507/16/2025 by admin

The poet gazed transfixed at the crowdwho ardently hung on his very words.Observing the pinnacle of his performanceuntil the applause rapaciously resounds.

I hate things

Posted on 07/16/202507/16/2025 by admin

I really hate tinned tuna it smells of rotting deathand xenophobia, a panacea for the stupid.Bloody pedaloes, their plastic satanic swan heads.I’m just not that tolerant at all to intolerancewhich I’m sure is cognitive dissonance right there.Big words, people write that they don’t understand I hate people who stop folk having access to understandor the…

Under oak

Posted on 07/14/202507/14/2025 by admin

Painting the sky in cobalt huesdipping the brush, regaling the day.Sumptuous in those beautiful blueswithout any hint of sighing dismay.Lying down, staring upward under oakGazing pass the trees verdant leavesNo clouds dotting their ephemeral smokeTo ruin the firmament’s angelic creed.Heaven in every sense of the wordLaying here, losing myself in the skiesThe stilling of all…
