Premium MemberFoundling, found poem

A mark of scarlet was the first,
Fitting of inferior character.
He was associated of plagues,
The name given of a tragedy.

The dead made a bottomless pit on him,
Rendered executed, the title of foundling.

Premium MemberBreaking News: Fragments of Today

A Found Poem from the Bing Homepage

Earns record-breaking medal,
a boxer apologizes, is sad,
wins US Senate primary.

Campaign raises $138.7M,
to lay off 15% of workforce,
US launches antitrust probe.

Child sex abuse sentence,
Utah abortion ban halted,
net neutrality rules blocked.

Rain showers,
a Christian petition rebuking,
conservative attacks receive thousands.

50 icons famous after they died,
Charlamagne tha God on racial attacks,
'I don’t give a damn.'

The 1-ingredient upgrade for eggs,
complete fantasy,
a Western movie brutally assessed.

Egyptian women’s beach volleyball team,
slams French hijab ban after Olympic match,
Kamala Harris's lucky break.

Premium MemberJune's Cosmic Parade

°*•***•***•*°*°*•***•*°*°*•***•*°

June’s dreams
you’re the guide
"meet & greet" 
the ecliptic zoo
a must-see!

a new five worldless day
goes on parade
these planets never stand still
click on Mars to tune up
see Mars square Pluto
as it crawls through Capricorn

truth freedom and that
need to capture the planet
of love we had
pay attention to retrograding
Mercury will be found

become mythology 
find your inner mama bear
June is our goal for 
the best telescope

Saturn will
articulate our focus
to take a New Moon 
in 3 weeks Mercury goes direct
will it continue
its tour with me?

Let's message the universe
friend Uranus on Facebook
tweet from Saturn’s rings 
listen to Jupiter laughing at the solar system   

This is it: Friday!
let it rain diamonds
let the planetary parade begin
let the Sun cook the celestial crab

Premium MemberMarket Miasma

market sell-off
mass outflows hit every asset
all indices in the red
we have to navigate the next few months
Fed insistent on 2% target
these currency moves are pretty significant
the macro factor is the Fed
indiscriminate selling
the bubble is deflating
a recession is/is not imminent
rotation away from goods and toward services
50 bps on table
time is of the essence
logistics
winners and losers
keep the pressure on
thank you very much indeed
a major worry
worse in the near term
I think that's the point
unprecedented sequence of shocks
huge symbolic weight
almost grind to a halt
I would be foolish if I didn't agree
let's play your game
more reality than risk
it's baked in the cake
buy the dip
interest rates rising--tech stocks falling
this is the beginning--not the end
this time is different
I sound like a broken record

Premium MemberIlliquid New Moon

signal of approaching cataclysm?
we can't see the gauntlet
it's past the cunning poison
a villain of his own timeline

piqued by an illiquid New Moon
Level 2 risk for severe stratagems
Earth braces for an apocalyptic slap
this time it could break

Premium MemberFound Poem

Then one day...
in the dark,  in the dark
in the deep,  deep dark 
a bright speck floated,  invisible as dreams,  special as Love. 

The last word was only a 
whisper, 
barely understood, and then
there was no more.

Mystery Word: Found Poem

I found you, 
and our meeting was accidental,
as meetings of any great lovers. 

I found you,
hanging on a whitewashed
wall flower garden, 

collectively supporting 
a rational argument,  
like a group of men in a chorus. 

I loved you, 
and you didn’t refuse my love.

Leaving your home: prose passages,
you came with me  

to form our love poem,
Found Poem.

Microsoft Found Poems

Telco one
 not until 5:00 PM

 had objected 
lack of will

 come back 
and go to some of actor dinner

 will fix the car tomorrow 
and work on my appeal 

might work 
and the appeal

 denied me 
to get on the other headphones 

when we go to the own charm 
on Thursday 

will build 
and Costco tomorrow

 but still funky 

but it will when it finally works 
watch and at the showboat
 Mr. Sunshine 

before taking all along 
that low energy 

back to two long flight 
stop dictation
 of up to the line

Microsoft Dictation Found Poem Four

Green tree 
 is in the Kingstown Property 
in Alexandria 
with her mother
 and are tended to Jeff

 my mother in the wall
 is berating jobs for some reason 
to handle 

and tell my mother to calm down 
as Jeff has a temper problem 
job is getting very angry 

Juppe pulls out a gun 
and serves the shooting of my mother 
the mall and should serve five or six times 
in the head 

my wife forays into a closet 
and Hans hoping that jobs 
will not find her 
and she wonders

 what would happen know
 that her mother 

in all my mother’s death
 and the she wonders 
what will happen 

because im not there 
at the time 

and she fears Jeff
 shooting in the wall

 and that is the end 
of the current in that age

Found Poem

Who decides what is bad writing?
Because, something I love, you hate.
One man's trash is another's treasure.
It’s all in our head because,
We’re
All
In
Our
Own
Heads
Why do we write?
The childish simplicity is lulling me to sleep.
I don’t want to decide if their life's work is meaningless.
We could be something, yet we do not leave.
What are we writing for?

Premium MemberBear Johnston: Found Poem: Bear Truth

5. Bear Truth

I know that I am real
Because Sir, what I feel,
“SEEMS MORE THAN ME! DIVINE?”
“AND GIFT,” I must opine!
For what man can erase
The stain of time and space?
Let others jive and jam –
GOD Speaks, and lo, I AM!

And you can find your passion too,
The trick is getting off the fence,
For victory’s just point of view!

Premium MemberBear Johnston: Found Poem: Only a Star

2.Only A Star

A star that seems missing,
Still there every night,
Though no one can see it,
It still gives its light!

When loved ones aren't present,
Have faith they are near,
In heart, also God's love,
Their light still shines clear.

Some folks dream of a Jack
Others long for a Jill
Though at times we’re thrown back
God plan’s Love for us still!
