H2: Fine Flavored Five

Poem Dujour

Humor

Rhythm

Rhyme

Pun

Punchline

 

Using a generous helping of your first ingredient,

stir, stir, stir.

A simple syrup of silliness,

into life’s blender and whir.

 

Pulse is a plus, each line, phrase, and ditty.

Rhyme if you must—just keep it witty.

Pour into stanzas; it should still be gritty…

 

Then top it all off, like icing to savor,

With a lingering laugh, to remember the flavor.

Recipe for Avoiding Detection

INGREDIENTS

1) Doubt (in others or self )

2) Sunglasses

3) Soft but dry cough (non phlegm)

4) Ribs (own or spare)

5) Sandpaper

 

METHOD

Ask plenty of questions whilst sanding away your motivation.

Avoid eye contact even when dry.

Let the ribs tighten slightly as the stomach quivers,

then, cough gently to release the tension (but to avoid attention).

Never fall in love.

Book the last two seats, in your name, for the Greyhound and

steal a boat leaving only whispers of your story in the sail.

Intersection

Working in the present…

in the middle…

an ancestral bridge

to cherished memories,

guardian of tradition,

celebrating the way WE do things

the way WE have always done things

While also

Looking into the future

&

anticipating change

&

encouraging the next generation

to remember and learn and innovate

Both required

to succeed today…

to ensure tomorrow

A blank page

full of jagged edges

rips apart my life

to give to get in return,

no glory,

pain gains power to risk everything to be

happy,

that is a world of confusion.
