Sunday Night Fave

When slick sports agent Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) has a crisis of conscience, he pens a heartfelt company-wide memo that promptly gets him fired. Desperate to hang on to the athletes that he represents, Jerry starts his own management firm, with only single mother Dorothy Boyd (Renee Zellweger) joining him in his new venture. Banking on their sole client, football player Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr.), Jerry and Dorothy begin to fall in love as they struggle to make their business work.

Student Lament

I should say thank you
show my gratitude
shouldn’t have done that
don’t know why I was so rude
if you choose to forgive me
tell me it’s all okay
I promise to behave better
each and every day.


(However)
I admit it was the other guy
who wrote those words—
he never tries to comply
he secretly adores you
but he’s super shy
so I confessed instead of him
now regretting it, oh my
and if you choose to tell my mother
I would rather die.

#JusJoJan the 15th/23 – Thank you

The Sunday Whirl

Powdery manifestations shuffle along in silence across his brain. He stands in front of the mirror, wraps his head in his hands, nearly crushing his ears. The blade of reason refuses to offer solace, help him defy the memory. The terrible moment is broken as he feels her hand on his shoulder.

EZ-PZ Writes

American Sentence: Invented by Allen Ginsberg. – Poets Collective

An American haiku variation. 17 syllables written in a sentence. Any topic –So, the qualities of such a sentence? Like most other good poetry it should be Imagistic, with that gap of meaning between the writer and the reader; ie: phenomenology. Some kind of juxtaposition helps create a tension.

Dream adventure lies ahead, smooth skimming in blue heaven surround.

3TC + Watercooler Confession

“It was meant to determine how strong you really are. You are such an affable guy, seemingly slow on the uptake when it comes to gossip about your coworkers, everyone thinks you’re a bit of a shilly-shally. Personally, I think you are fresh as a mint after a spicy hot lunch!”

Bull Durham

“In Durham, N.C., the Bulls minor league baseball team has one asset no other can claim: a poetry-loving groupie named Annie Savoy (Susan Sarandon). As the team’s season begins, Annie selects brash new recruit Ebby Calvin Laloosh (Tim Robbins), whom she christens “Nuke,” to inspire with the religion of baseball. Nuke also receives guidance from veteran player Crash Davis (Kevin Costner), who settles Nuke’s erratic pitching and teaches him to follow the catcher’s lead.”

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt +

Ordinarily I look at your mundane scripts and peruse them in a blur of incredulity. Each week I try to read your ideas with an amount of hope, giving you every inch of a yard of the talent I must have misconstrued. As I open your file, I awaken to another stodgy diatribe of beatitude. If I’m being honest here, Joe, this just doesn’t cut it with the younger generation or the station chief. We are a fairly new streaming service and the only way we are going to stay in the game is to appeal to the younger audience.

Evening splendor

I dreamed he would be a great lover

An ingenue seen here

If I was devil or Angel she fit my bill

Wandering in stars

Tea for two might be the choice

Who am I to argue I said with my enraptured smile

Soft

September leaves fall

A soft crescent moon

Her head was spinning

Forever in place

Very difficult as I do not have access to my old poems – only through an old android phone which doesn’t work well. I picked one from January through December in order. Apparently I don’t do as many poems as I thought🙄😂
