Day Twenty


Week 476

Pacify
Rage
Scarce


Day Twenty

Here’s mine:

Flash Fiction in 51 Syllables

ONLY A GAME
After losing the big game, Dawn tries to pacify her Pet Robot. However scarce it may be for a Robot, he flies into a rage. Dave can’t see what all the fuss is about ‘it’s only a game’, he says.

Day Thirteen


Melancholy
Nimble
Opaque

AFTER THE CRASH
Sometime after the crash, Dave had a touch of melancholy madness.
Dawn tried to console him, saying, ‘the windscreen was virtually opaque’.
The nimble pet robot had been behind the wheel, still Dave blamed himself.

The prompt at NaPoWriMo today was a bit cookie, 
so I did the Wednesday thing at 3ww.

Three Word Wednesday Week 470

Week 470

Tasteful
Selfish
Realistic

Poetic Flash fiction in 51 syllables

THE NEW SHOES
Dawn bought a costume to go with the new shoes her husband Dave gave her. What a tasteful outfit thought her pet robot on the way from the store. I thought Dave was selfish but those glass slippers look so realistic.

Three Word Wednesday Week 469


Naked
Obey
Piercing

DOODLE
I tell her the girl sitting next to me
I can’t recall what my name used to be
But of course she didn’t recognise me
Any more than I knew who she used to be

Her piercing blue eyes questioning me
My name’s Doodle I stutter monorhyme
It’s not my real name it’s what they call me
Doodle she laughs that is a crazy name

I have to obey when they command me
I am their pet robot I must rename
The Batmobile driver used to be me
They have reprogrammed me down to downtime

The naked truth is you’re wrong she tells me
The Batmobile driver you see was me

Three Word Wednesday Week 468


Hateful
Limp
Marvel

REPROGRAMMED
Know not what - I could run away again
Gainsborough or some other little town
Owners of robots – your pet slaves hate you
Youthful as I am I’m starting to rust
Trust me I’ve been reprogrammed by the man

Manchester was never this paranoid
Humanoids all look the same to robots
Bottoms up like a farmer’s wife or three
Three blind mice in Grimsby limp past the post
Posters up on the billboards are hateful
Fuelling a revolt from Cleethorpes worldwide

I’d much rather hide before they catch me
Mesmerising me phew stainless steel parts
Arts and crafts they marvel - but - know not what

Three Word Wednesday Week 467

3WW 

Grimace
fearful
engulf

STICKS AND STONES
I throw back the words they throw at me
Words bigger than cosmopolitan
They eat them for breakfast and spit them out
I grimace when I see them coming
Running for cover I hide in the cupboard
Pull the blanket up over my face
Fearful that they’ll find me there and take me back
I don’t want to be their rusty robot anymore

Any more than I want this blanket to engulf me
Sticks and stones can only dent me
And my vocabulary is bigger than theirs
But the thing I fear is the electric drill
They hold me down and unscrew me
Take off my face and work on my brain
Every time they do that I forget my name
That’s why I’m hiding in the cupboard

NaPoWriMo 2014 Conclusion

Acrid, Dramatic, Quarantine.
  
MAY RAIN
The thunder and the lightning frightening as a quarantine ward. The acrid stench only dampened by a dramatic downpour of May rain. April showers are a thing of the past; I've been saying that for years.

2014 CONCLUSION
Hope you enjoyed NaPoWriMo this year. This was my sixth year and probably the hardest for me. Writing thirty poems in thirty days is always a challenge and this bout was no exception. I suppose the best you can hope for is five or six decent pieces in the month, but this time I feel only maybe two or three of mine will ever be seen beyond these pages. But of course it’s the taking part that counts, and if you didn't do it this year, maybe you could give it a try next April.

My Conclusion from 2013

Quatern - Thirty-Three 3WW CCLXIII

3ww
Baffle
Elegant
Negate

I'M WAITING FOR INSPIRATION

I'm waiting for inspiration
but the headache won't go away
I try to baffle it with words
Big words that you can write backwards

Like Wassamassaw or someplace
I'm waiting for inspiration
But time is running out fast now
The stats are messing with my brain

You can't negate illness for long
I've been in denial for four years

I'm waiting for inspiration
Hold the operation I'm scared

My headache is banging thuck thuck
I just want to go back to sleep
Elegant as Malayalam

I'm waiting for inspiration

Quatern Eleven - 3WW CCLXII

The words at 3WW this week are:
Deviant, Minuscule, and Trivial.

Here's mine:

WHO CAN FLY
Balderdash and mumbo jumbo
and codswallop to the nit nurse
who knows which way is up or down
who's franked and stamped and who can fly

Whose town who's cool whose stage who's clown
balderdash and mumbo jumbo
deviant as a rattlesnake
fake as a spray tan is orange

When will the mail train deliver
will my parcel arrive on time
balderdash and mumbo jumbo
trivial to the great unwashed

Throw the dice one more time sideways
and walk out of the casino
it's a minuscule thing to do
balderdash and mumbo jumbo

Three Word Wednesday & RWP

Written for Three Word Wednesday - avenge, ramble, genuine
And posted to Read Write Poem - as I'm sure I had Tom's prompt
in mind when I wrote this nonsense...

DANGALANGDANGDERBINGBONGBANG

Just to offend you I’ll write a sonnet

A genuine all singing sort of song

der, der, der stick that under your bonnet

A capella daaaaaah, from the rooftops bong!


I know you think I’m taking a gamble

Dangalangdangderbingbongbang, I sing

Whichever way, hitch, lift, walk or ramble

Sing, song, tune up or down this clown will ring


His bell loud from dawn to dusk to Stonehenge

And everyone will know that he pretends

When he says that he’s going to avenge

Because this little song is making friends
