Take a journey with me
Into the eyes of a stranger
How appealing it would be
Spending just a second of precious time
To notice a connection
To indulge in discovery
Look beyond the caption
Read more into the soul
Listen to a heartbeat
Rise above the insecurity
Shine bright
Take the wheel
Let the drive take your breath away
Step up to the challenge
Accept the faults
Navigate the trauma
And you will find the eye of the storm.
The calmness that is true love.
Not for contest.
I could not believe my eyes
the spirit made an eerie cry
as it floated by
and then I fainted on the couch
causing it to laugh and laugh~
in spirit’s facebook I was posted
with the caption you’ve been ghosted!
Show off dance moves
Style and grace smooth
Drinking and enjoying the music
Romance faceoff
Disco Ball flow
Dancing holding on tight and don’t let go
Couples after couples
Dance Floor of encouragement of get nerve and get up and dance
Once in a lifetime moment
You may not have this chance again
Embrace the closeness
Don’t be surprised if you can a sudden kiss
That split second you will always remember that moment of that certain woman or man
Chemistry beyond the school experiment
Eye to Eye caption
Dance and love forming together
Heart on fire
The impact of desire
Boom Boom love
Explosive insight.
I lost a bracelet
Returned to the place where I bought
There I found it
Someone has tied it hanging
There a caption I read:
"Lost and found bracelet,
Claim with a receipt."
I gave the receipt and claim it again
I'm happy to see that there are still
People who have a heart of a good citizen.
The shifting color-way of the sea,
from comfortable to extreme in dress.
Trash is not carried fashionably,
do not slap on this trend of distress.
There’s an image we strive to maintain,
I promise this does nothing for it.
A sad faux pas leaves only disdain.
The salty sweet smile of the ocean
conveys your long held in aggression.
No way to say this delicately,
it’s destructive to be this careless.
Can’t argue with a necessity
yet we live with this disgusting mess.
Dimethyl sulfide and acid rain
invading your senses bit by bit.
Pollution’s such an awful refrain.
Let beach couture call you to action,
and Mother Earth write out the caption.
And Thats All

The young girl disguised
in mascara aged rage
report a frayed journey
kidnapped in time.
How am I to remember you
without a calendar of event
without a program of pictures
without a caption of laments
and itemized legers of expenditures
and renumerations ?
I know your name
And that’s all
I know your sins
because
I am one of them
And that’s all
The statute of
Lamentations
illuminations and
Limitations
Has long since passed
And that’s all
The young boy speaks from
The distorting mirror
funhouse mirror
carnival mirror
Into broken mirrors
Of broken glass
From times far past
And that’s all
He was holding
Your young hand
In innocence
And that’s all
A conglumalate of comapnies gathered together to Unite
under one banner. The sorted the talents, and ranked : reranked
several Pro Grapplers.both in Kayfade and for-reallie-dough!
They excluded the Juggernaut.
The one the World might envy.
But the saw fit to advertise in markets where they are sucluded and often riciculded.
A straight forward Sports Genred Event.
Was advertsied. The Caption said on this date from now and forever all the world shall speak of _______________ As World Champion! They advertised it like they were from the year. 2033 which is a big deal in some wrestling areas. The Guilds and The Guilded are to compete before an "awaiting " Hungery World!
I think this is a novel concept.
Bravo!
Bravo!
I view what is and do not like what I see
I feel what is not and do not like the feeling that is
Yes, this is about me. There is only me to see what I see
I am selfish. This is only my feelings that I feel
I am empathetic but selfish in this way
If her campaign goes like warm breeze,
And Trump’s loses its MAGA fizz,
Can an apostrophe
Cause such catastrophe?
In USA it does--
A few days of big buzz,
Which for Soupers forever is.

Happenings |27.08.2024| political, America
Poet’s note: Is it Kamala Harris’ campaign, or it should be Kamala Harris’s. A great debate goes on in USA-- too much fuss for nothing, one might feel. But I have to play safe for this ditty’s caption with just ‘Kamala Harris campaign’. Why, one may ask. But we Soupers (contributing poets on PoetrySoup.com) know, apostrophe in a caption is a big no, no here. Why again? I don’t know, nor know if God knows.
'Tis off to the races now that homeschooling has ended.
One half earns for their subsistency,
other half learns about delinquency.
Be they friends and their best efforts were suspended.
Tale spring muses as the anticipant's
appraised specifies traditional hopes
load stages standard addictive transplants
secured cognitive lodestar prolonged copes.
Missteps venture the wide-eyed sneeze, and runny nose
a caption reads, "This be the Time.", gone are
the reporting authors, counting those
to acknowledge them, minus their star.
Bloom's wilt and hues fade know not the hour caused,
advents trending acquisitions neglect closure
but fail to end the brotherhood of friends exposure.
halls went silent the schoolyard empty, turned men paused.
My head confirms what my heart denies
I'm a prisoner of all your lies
And though it may put me in my grave
I'll stand forever your dying slave
Of this Siren's call there's no defense
Against all logic and common sense
But until the end my heart you'll keep
And bury it in the briny deep
No matter how many tears I cried
A hopeless fool on the day I died
And on my gravestone the caption read
He followed his heart instead of head
Tickle stamen dances with the dew.
Released, scent in the air,
fragranced sweetly K-new.
Bubble your brew of pheromone v-aperture
My attention from your look of capture
Brook mirroring syndication of air
Vagrant incendiary caption of
captivation sniff stare
Female patterns in holding
Memories mansion room unfolding,
scaffolding, molding
Fingering you to be most there
Ole Factory building, crescendo of
harmonics produced gilding as eyes water in their Venused trap closing
in seduced dosaging (passaflora incarnata)
carnal erotica
mooning with purples and pinks,
flash of ovary, seed,
flirting with your dopamine, audacity
A society full of—
Self-obsessed.
Cruel.
Individuals
Absorbing
Lies.
Every scroll, every swipe,
They’re—
Manipulating
Egos,
Despicably
Influencing
Aesthetics.
We trade authenticity
For algorithms.
Validation comes in numbers —
Hearts, thumbs, views —
But none of it feels human.
Behind every perfect picture,
There’s panic.
Behind every caption of joy,
A silent ache.
Social media taught us
To compare scars,
To hide behind filters,
To pretend we’re okay.
But I refuse.
I want raw faces,
Unedited truths,
Flaws that breathe.
Because life’s not a highlight reel —
It’s messy.
It’s loud.
It’s real.
And I’d rather live it
Than like it.
"Going Home" caption
With white linen as backdrop
Lies my mom's body.
In the warranted spectrum of option.
sitting on the brink has a tempting draw.
I broach the brink precipice with caution
In the warranted spectrum of option.
Every night for one hour, it grabs caption.
I can't dodge night toll of a sleepless thaw
In the warranted spectrum of option.
sitting on the brink has a tempting draw.
