Frumpty Dumpty..
Brother of that famous egg..
Tumbled off an indifferent roof
of high altitude..
If a B-list celeb falls from grace
into the hard street below
does it make a crashing sound?
Will his obit even trend
to garner the thoughts and prayers
even an after thought deserves?

I challenged myself to write my first ever breccbairdne poem. It was quite a challenge but tried my best 😊
Here are the rules:
4 line stanzas (any number)
5 syllables first line
6 syllables other 3 lines
Last word of each line has 2 syllables
Use consonance - especially in the last word of each line (I'm not sure I achieved this) 😜

Seeing Red, Emotionally Barren
Throttle wide open
Target in sight.
Arteries thumping
Already in flight.
Seeking provocation
Was that a sleight?
Adrenaline dumping
Feigning might.
Can dish, can’t take
I made my dog fight.
Losing altitude
This is my plight.
Uncorrectable tailspin
It’s goodnight.
#tailspin #smallpoems #poetry #mastoprompt #poetryprompt
The mourning routine of a broken middle aged man.
Fuck, 04:22.
I just want to sleep.
Head hurts, body aches.
I know what to do.
Ignore the bad feels.
Mantra, I am great.
Hot water and shampoo.
Clothes all nice and neat.
Just pretend, be fake.
Swallow down bland food.
It's so hard to eat.
I’ve got pills to take.
Check the self-help group.
Fidget in my seat.
Feel nothing but hate.
Jump through the next hoop.
Chores are now complete.
God Damnit! I'm late!

#cosy #poetry #poetryprompt I stood upon the shoreline and looked into my cosy past. All my dreams danced before my eyes, as living memories. Sunlit, smiling and singing (mostly) happy songs,drifted out to sea and touched the horizon.

Cosy
Warm purr vibrato
Big eyes wrapped in soft blankets
Heart slows in calm breath

Howling at the moon, my art cannot be defined by a genre.

Glow
Dark falls
A warm glow rises
Falling into my cupped hands
Fireflies lovingly clustered
Magic.

Listen to the Silence
Listen
Silence drops
A blanket
Muffling senses
Sighing
Calming
Gentle thrum
The lake dreams
Flowing gently
Listen
Heart beats
Slower
Soporific silence
Healing awaits
