Promises (Ever)
They find solace in revery
The first speaker, whoever be
Turns their head
Words that show small cleverness
Stoking latent foreverness
Ascended
Their expressions may be evert
Causing the speaker to revert
Intended
Prideful persons try to lever
Talk of knowing the forever
Dependent
Why preach unknown, start a fever
Fueling sorrowful grievers
Pretended

MTB: Compounding the Stem
Blue shiny fabric caught the sunlight as Sara twisted to and fro in front of the mirror. It was her first dance, her first time at an event without her parents, and lost no significance in her mind. She had dreamed of it, written diary entries about it and unbelievably, the night was almost here. She let the fabric move to show it at its most beautiful, and the iridescent image swims through a mirror that flows. Her grandmother had helped her choose this fabric, telling Sara the blue echoed her beautiful blue eyes. Sara saw it for herself, swaying in the sparkling sun’s rays. Sara’s grandmother seemed nostalgic with a dream of her own in mind, or a dear memory.

Prosery—Luminous Accountings
“What’s the word, Joe? Are we doing this thing or what?”
“Seriously, Mike, I have no idea. I thought my dad put in a good word for us, but apparently not. I haven’t heard a word from him!”

But now he tripped over a log
He fell in the mud
Yelled out, “this is crud!”
Because he landed in a bog!

amazing structure
such a powerful image
how tiny earth seems

ominous grayness
abandoned in the beyond
we sit and stare at our home

SenHai Saturday #66
As you may have guessed, today’s word is protest. Write a poem of exactly 44 words including the word protest. You can write about a protest you were apart of, or why you think protests are of no use. You can take inspiration from, “The lady doth protest too much, methinks””(spoken by Queen Gertrude, in Act 3, scene 2 of Hamlet by William Shakespeare)
Have fun!

Join us please in the protest
remember to bring only your best
signs of discord
we can’t afford
to get too sharp, they don’t like pointed
or anything too disjointed.
Their brains hardly recognize words
One of the reasons their ideas are absurd!
