The pen is mightier than the sword they say, but why not an arrow? Much more dignified I think.

Dilly-Dallying Hour

The Anarcher

1 min read

The thing about rush hour is that it proves itself to be anything but a rush.

Carriage after carriage pumps bright scarlet flags high in impatience. Hand-held honkers, like that of a band, are decked out in exquisite, dented brass. Each rage-filled squeeze of the dusty rubber bulb on the end contributes to quite the symphonic score of dissonant squeals. The sheer amount of air being thrust throug...

Word Art

Poetry is simply words

Strung into imperfect lines

Some, meticulous meter’d

Others fondly embrace rhymes

Poets’

Poems

Resonate

Meaning fills

Voids in hearts

Poetry is word art

Pleasing to the eye

Notice the arc of this

The mountain I provide

Perhaps you dislike sentences

Have paragraphal feuds

You long to break free

Miss the freedom of no rules

Or are you cookie cutter

Yet forming your own shap...

The Noise

It wasn’t a message. Not picture nor word. Just a sound. Nothing more. It was high pitched, grating… eerie. It didn’t vary much, but you could tell it was a human scream. Or at least it once was. Its tones had clearly been twisted into dissonant antiharmonies, autotuning out any imperfections in pitch. Each change was intentional, puppeteered. Impossible. You could make no sense of it. It wouldn’t...

Jenla and Barth were shivering in the brisk windy breeze, teeth chattering like dancing skeletons. Jenla pulled her balaclava up further over her face, obscuring her numbing nose and rosy cheeks. Barth opted for frosted snow glasses and a thick winter scarf. They pulled their puffer jackets tighter, concealing their cold-pale hands and their weapons. Barth risked a worn gloved thumb in hopes that ...

Her soul is chartreuse

Fresh avacados

Lemon lime juice

Highlighter green

All covered in yellow

A violent moonbeam

A spritz of Febreeze

A Clorox wipe

Sickly snot sneeze

Vibrant radium

Clock on the wall

An underripe plum

A grassy hillside

Rita Skeeter

A cool new ride

Growths of algae

Bioluminescence

Foxfire fungi

A hint of saffron

Chlorophyll

Some fire engines

Tennis balls

Cavern of Ice

Take a step

As I roll the dice

A burble of laughter

Warmth in the ice

You say you’re near

As you always are

But never I dream

You’d step so far

I watch your heart

As it crystallizes

Buried deeper

Under layered vices

Frozen-over tundra

So barren, cold

I reach for your warmth

Have nothing to hold

But I’ll find you yet

I’ll thaw blackened ice

I miss you so much

Come in, dear, it’s nice

I wish to shr...

Belly Up

The tortoise was a dusty old thing, barely hanging onto life. Its toothless maw gaped slightly in that puckered sort of way, parched of the youth it yearned for. Each wrinkled step was arduous. Aimless. There was no reason to keep on walking. Yet it did. Step after heaving step. One stalky stump in front of the other. That was all there was left to do. The only sparks of joy left in its life were ...

Pretty petals

Full of romance

Memories float

In sweet fragrance

Lovers dote

Just like pretty petals

Time is special

Time heals

Time hurts

One day they’re there

Then fear the worst

No time to spare

Just like wounds time heals

Time also steals

Pretty petals

Wilting away

Molded corners

Shriveled days

Full of mourners

Just like dying petals

Time was special

Time heals

Time hurts

It pains to see

Here

There

They’re everywhere

On the rafters

In the walls

Hanging in the air

Praying for your downfall

Catch them if you dare

There is no truce

No second chances

Fate is ever sealed

The moment you arrived within

You signed the devil’s deal

They know if you’re adopted

If a parent was unfaithful

They’ve tasted your entirety

With blood they’re never wasteful

They relish in your agony

Those silent ...
