This is for Sasha's Challenge: https://vocal.media/writers/ministry-of-silly-pictures-unofficial-poetry-challenge A very poignant poem inspired this poem I am writing right now. The subject is deep and beautiful, but the picture was fun and whimsical!

Reading into the Reading in to into the Reading...
I count seconds like you all register days; where’s my spread? All pro/con list feels so fifty/fifty the villain’s checkmate. Can’t count once I’ve proven they’ve been removing the colored stickers. Pawns mid-season of a treason siding with the royal heathens. Ignore the grab is all I’m saying. You’ll be paying. Dawn’s the masks in and under the car, stark revamp of unfinished existence, total center of the resistance shit, an energy foreign that makes me feel like home. I don’t feel like I should leave anyone alone, used to being alone in that, as a matter of FACT. What am I even doing? Neat winter in the drought, who would ask for that? Laugh track kind of daily actor, plus, can’t fucking stand the cameras. Want the horror from the cosmic—slow going down blood rapids—“why isn’t my bending working?” I raised us to the plinth at the waterfall’s edge ten minutes ago; please sit down and stop screaming if you want us on the ground safely.

Bright, Sunshiny Day: Redux
They say, “Third time's the charm.” I hope that's true. I've written this before, and there's no clue About where my poem's gone After so much time spent on Creating it not just one time, but two. So, I won't try to recreate the words. I've done seconds, and don't want to have thirds. That moment's in the past And the feelings faded fast And I'll leave them lying right there for the birds. Instead, here's yet another brand new rhyme, Seasoned with a healthy dose of thyme? No, that's just asinine, But fits perfectly fine, So that's what I'm gonna put there this time. Perhaps my big mistake first time around That dropped the poem in the “lost, not found” Was 'cause it said thanks to Vocal for all they do, But on that theme this is meant to expound. Just one more little note I'll leave for you, This time, I've done as I most always do. I've saved these words for me On my laptop, you see, Just in case they should disappear from view.

Why I Want to Learn to Read My Poetry Aloud (And Why You Should Too). Top Story - August 2026.
Right. Before we begin, I’m gonna have to warn you. The following video contains me, sitting in my garden, reading aloud a poem I wrote this very morning while my girlfriend (aka trusty online-pimp/videographer) filmed from behind.
