You look uncomfortable in your skin,
always primping and preening;
beauty shines outside, but then within,
your vanity is scheming.
Always seeking the observer's gaze,
who knows what you're meant to be?
It must be exhausting to erase
flaws the world will never see.
I was floored and sunk but he shielded me from a tiger !
(Weekly Magnetic Poetry Challenge • August 10–16, 2026)
I don’t want to be fluent in silence,
it’s not fun leaving it bottled inside;
Making you feel you’re prone to violence,
never healthy to allow thoughts to hide;
They will fester into loud pussy soars
exploding inside your mind at random;
With every pop negativity scores,
a hot temper’s not the desired outcome;
You must let pain out any way you can
even if it’s in a feral language;
Negativity does not need a ban,
a productive outlet prevents damage;
Use all your emotions like a springboard,
you will emerge leaving everyone floored.
everyday life,a tightrope walk
within country.a tug of war
civil unrest floors standing mango india
unconstitutional legislations
unconstitutional judgements
civil unrest floors standing mango india
power shifts to war era
third world war coming
civil unrest floors standing mango india
I found a Valentine's card by my door,
it was a big one and hard to ignore,
as I read the cute saying
I saw this gal displaying...
Cupid's present knocked me right to the floor!
Love that floored.
Love that floored
Love that soared
Love that finally snored
Love that today looks
Like a face smiling
From the obituary page.
