Sunday wordle on a Monday: Original

January 22, 2018January 22, 2018Matt2 Comments

You think you’re the last groove
in the vinyl
the last song
to fill the void
The one and only
the final original specimen
here to soothe the cracks
of those designed ‘none organically’
Like you and your one and only kind

Staccato

January 7, 2018January 7, 2018Matt3 Comments

Attempt 1

Your heart beats
staccato
Like the
tick
tock
of your watch
Times sidekick
Look
Ing
Slick
On your wrist
Detached
From
All things
Patron saint
Of all spies
Slicker than water
While you’re in your prime

 

Attempt 2

Your heart
Beats
Staccato
Like the heels
That walk
On by
Leaving you
Denied

Earth whispers rumours
Of her indifference
And we can do nothing
But listen

Wordle: Dawn

October 29, 2017Matt1 Comment

The sky imitates breath
A mist on the horizon
Dew lingers as baubles
From stem
No bells need chime
To echo time
As we take in this great signal
To a new dawn
As we’re swept to calm shore
awakened from storms
Since passed

Wordle: Power struggle

October 8, 2017October 8, 2017MattLeave a comment

There is a power struggle
On the fringe of society
Listing mysteries
As if they belong to us
So we can be a star
In the battle storms
That swirl upon the roads
We’ve been discarded from
Trying to lift ourselves
Out from the pit of our sighs
So we can say that in the end
We won.

Sunday wordle: Nut

August 6, 2017Matt5 Comments

I’m the nut that simmered down
Because it’s the nuts
That burst through the surface
And sees that it doesn’t matter

Wordle: surrender

July 30, 2017MattLeave a comment

I surrender to the bend of the sail
Whichever way the wind takes me
I shall follow
Stitch these wounds
And let go

Sunday wordle: Storm

July 23, 2017Matt7 Comments

Carry the storm
In the event the trigger
is pulled
Pick yourself off
you will not quake
in the aftershock
of this shake up
these moments
Are like riding turbulent seas
they pass
till they’re nothing
these seconds
take up the hours
But these mistakes
Don’t mean
You have to scream

Wordle: No justice

July 16, 2017Matt6 Comments

Facing the worlds brutality
Standing after the scorn
Donning masks of clarity
So it looks like I’m weathering the storm
But these digs
At my sanity
Have let me see
The need for justice
That cannot be born

Sunday wordle: Man wears a fedora with a feather, he gets the chicks

July 9, 2017Matt3 Comments

Got his fedora on
with it’s ostrich plume
He’s a jaunty chap
He has the pick
From all the chicks
Cuz he’s just chill
And full of tricks
So as they say don’t come knockin’
When that caravan is rockin’
