Only One Mutton – A poem.

Only One Mutton

My mind is a turbine of plots,

to the point, it is hard to sleep.

I count blessings, instead of sheep,

But Shaun slays them, with dreaded baaaahhhhhts.
They return, Shaun must lance alots,

or be he served to a glutton,

for he’s nothin’…but mutton,

Fear not, Lamb Chop comes unafraid,

wielding her magic sheering blade.

She shouts, “There can be only one.”

 

I bet you never thought stop animation and sock puppets could star in a slasher story, huh?

Some explaining to do, for those young folk out there. This didn’t start out as a pop culture, walk down memory lane thing, but with my first line and the word sleep as the prompt? It got away from me. I put links in for the various things that people might need a reference to. Another link is for Shari Lewis. You can watch Highlander: The Movie in the US  here, on Tubitv.com for free with ads. Or here on Vudu.com for free with ads. It’s one of my favorites. I use both sites regularly. They are safe. No problems. You just set up a free account. Vudu used to be attached to Walmart.

So Long Farewell – A poem.

Ronovan Decima Poetry , , , , , , , , , , , ,

So Long Farewell

Loosen your hold, oh greedy one.

So long to DayGlo, tanning buns.

Secret Service, and Big Mac runs.

There’s no prayin’, will help you none.

Your time is over, MelMel’s done.

Wave to Joe Joe, Kamala too.

We chose them, just to say screw you.

Troops ain’t with you, so no kook coup.

All your lawyers are scared to sue.

Lock your bank tight…Mel’s bout to shrew.

This may be my last overtly political poem for a while, at least I’m going to try refrain. Although I will likely make them as open to interpretation as possible. I’m a bit tired of it all. There are other aspects of life that are worth exploring and self-therapizing about.

May the poetry gods and saints forgive me. This is what I get for listening to a catchy upbeat poppy Taylor Swift hook right before writing this. Yes, I’m a Swifty. And if you are too or even if not, you need to listen to her latest surprise album Folklore. Not an overly pop thing. Real laid back. Done during the pandemic. Wasn’t even supposed to be an album out.

Right Practiced- A poem.

Ronovan Decima Poetry , , , , , , , , ,

Right Practiced

The tension we feel is not good,
neither is it bad or evil.
It’s sane in times of upheaval,
when dreaming of what could or should.

Once deflating we know we stood,
now, meditating on the scale.
We played our part, we did it well,
braved to choose, whether right or err.
Down to the wire, a closing scare,
gasping for breath, breathe deep, exhale.

Awaken – a poem

Awaken

What hope have we now,

in these crazed deceitful days,

We will face the beast.

 

We will face the beast

that is the bronzed behemoth

bleeding the path red

 

Bleeding the path red

blinding mobs with hate and strife

victory is his.

 

victory is his

unless we learn from past fails,

ours will be added.

Anger Them – a poem

Ronovan Haiku, Shi Rensa Haiku , , , , , , , ,

Anger your closed friends

So eyes are opened to see,

speak your heart fully.

 

Speak your heart fully!

Drive truth through their tampered minds,

for the time is near!

 

For the time is near,

and we are to destine the world

with one fingertip.

 

With one fingertip?

Without discernment within?

What hope have we now?
