To The Streets – 19th August 2024

~ shaun tenzenmen ~ 2 Comments

Blank and empty, heads will reel
Success beckons patriotic appeal
A society stamps a robust seal
To flood and scuttle boats!

Success fills a blank page
With a flood of vitriolic rage
Shouted from a high-street stage
Robust to never fall

Firing blanks, march in time
A robust claim of social decline
Protest success in the migrant line
Fist-floods fuel the fire

A see-saw balance of success
Flood the streets under robust stress
No one wants to be second-best
Blankly shouting slogans

Robust walls; dismantle bricks
A blank slate for new party tricks
Flooding Facebook for the clicks
Success, just another Like away

Submitted to Ovi Poetry Challenge 61: success, Word of the Day Challenge – flood, Ragtag Daily Prompt – blank and Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge – robust. Loosely inspired by discussion around the purpose and usefulness of protests in the Western world.

There were ants crawlin’ on the floor – 8th July 2020

1990 was 30 years ago! Crazy – I was a young man. Scribble dribble. Lazy but content.

Play video games – was okay but got a little bored. Movies. YouTube – okay but a little bored. No exercise, no writing, no thinking – that was okay. That was good. No thinking – just doing but need to think – keep a clear head.

Sore neck. Stretch it out, massage it. Back to school back to.… Plan some things to do. Use school free time for myself. What’s my new Twitter password? Brain blank – it’ll come… Is my mind this empty? – what’s in here? – foggy blur. Sit and meditate – that password will annoy me for sure.

Gratitude Journal

I am so happy and grateful to be back at school. Even though I’m not doing much I started to get bored at home, despite there being lots of things to do there!
