RDP – Smarmy

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

How could I possibly ignore this word prompt?😂

***

He slithered in with his smarmy smile

Gazed around boldly down the aisle

He hadn’t been around for a while.

His scent you could smell from a mile

Greasy slicked hair stirred up bile

His gestures presented a lot of rile

But he hoped for an engenue with guile.

His tight suits meant to turn up the dial

But we had caught on to his “style”

His reputation we had in our files.

Reena’s Exploration Challenge

Such colorful choices
fish not my appeal
But I’ll take the sticks
for my “McDonalds” meal
I’ll use them for fries littered with ketchup
It’s a lunch at the office, don’t want to ruin my makeup.

Your three words today are:
OPPOSITE
ALONGSIDE
DIAGONAL

The tight suited young man paced back and forth to and from opposite sides of the stage, fingers interlaced behind his back. His stride was purposeful, as he hoped to present a correct discipline in the auditorium reception. Alongside him hurried another man of small stature, unkempt on his best day, holding a clipboard diagonal to his body and a pocketful of pens. J

“Sir, sir, pardon me, but do you wish me to keep recording your speech?” The audience, a gathering of brash freshmen, chuckled and muttered until a further glare of contempt was shown by the new professor.

Cyranny’s 1MinFic

It was meant as an antiwar statement, a silent protest. Peace Street was not crowded, it was just an ordinary day. Suddenly a man ran up, grabbed one of the “bullets” and charged into the building. The unsuspecting guard at the door couldn’t believe it when he was mortally impaled. Joe sat down and cried. He thought his wife loved him but then saw her with the guard. He wondered if it was the uniform.

Ronovanwrites Sijo – Perfection

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
  • Three Lines
  • 14-16 syllables per line
  • A total of 44-46 syllables for the entire poem.
  • The first line of the Sijo usually sets the theme.
  • The second line elaborates on the first line.
  • The third line brings the poem matter to a close.

The setting can be nature, a favorite season, or some event of your day. Something, as I mentioned above that can be contemplative in nature.

***

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, perfection seen

Perhaps such possibilities are fleeting, trick of the mind’s eye

And the vision is ruled only by the heart, the true view.
