Like the goddess of the rainbow
You stand tall
In every hue,
And lend credence to the story
That it’s gorgeous
To be you.

Ostensible Justice

When a rule was explained
As one meant to give voice
But abandoned
As soon
As one snatched up their choice,
Don’t be fooled to believe
It was done in good faith
For ostensible standards
Prove hypocrisy’s face.
Merriam-Webster’s word for June 28, 2018:
Ostensible

Stormy Seagull

‘Twas the day of a storm
Tide was soon to claim sand
And you sought urgent refuge
On somewhat dry-land.
Not a foot from my chair
You stood near, you stayed calm.
Maybe you knew ’twas a place
Where you’d come to no harm.

The new piece unfolded in his head during the long flight. The chords danced to the beat of the flickering red light on the airplane’s wing and the turbulence lent base to the melody. It was perfect. He’d have written the notes right there and then had it not been for his propensity to motion sickness. Staring out the window was the only remedy. Sometimes the best inspiration.
“Let it go, let it go!” his daughter’s singing in her room welcomed him home.
And the nascent harmonies obeyed, dispersed, let gone.

She twirls this way and back again
Jingling beads fit for a reign
Tuto flying
Boas, too.
Joyfully bedizened
To wazoo.

The light climbs
Up the walls,
Its ancient pace
Never stalls,
Letting sun
Follow earth,
On a path
To rebirth.

Do or Dye

Do not shy
From the dye,
Do not cringe
From the fringe.
What gives flowers the hue
Can teach color to you.
If two tones were the all
We’d be so bored we’d bawl.
So go on and dye more
Shades of lovely galore.

Route To Kaput
Photo: Pinterest, Carrie Miles
Olden times come to rise
Where the heartless devise
Righteousness to brutalize
Those they dehumanize.
An unwise move, time shows
For a smart person knows
That even one group maligned
Cracks open fault lines
In a stroke that would put
A reign on path to kaput.
Merriam-Webster’s word for June 26, 2018:
Kaput

Amortize
Allow persons in power
To amortize the legitimacy of those
They term ‘others,’
And the weak will fall behind them,
Eager to believe themselves
More worthy
Than most.
They’d be wrong, of course, for
They are not.
Because none who are truly strong
And deserving of honor
Would ever devalue others
Nor would they sit back as
Inhumanity
Takes hold.

Effigial Critique

If it’s fame that you seek
Know how history speaks
Of tyranny’s recognition
Turning infamy
And
Effigial critique.
