LIMERIA LINEALLY LOCATIVE INSPIRATION
I imitate insensitively into an interplanetary, interval
as
manorial misdirection modified me
not
my monsignor narcissus natal nonvisual neophobi mockery
but
polariscope proficiency protracted our prolonged pseudowintera plumping
for
serious sapient stillness stockholding
those
unalterable teenaged thirties transitively through to
a venturesome vagueness 'would be wedding'
with willamette we vowelise
plumping for prolonged prokofiev protracted proficiency
(Weekly Magnetic Poetry Challenge • August 24–30, 2026)
Be in the know without question.
Don't be wrongly put in a position.
It will only lead to insufficiency,
And will cause less proficiency.
Be the missing piece in the puzzle
Function properly without a muzzle.
Learn how to be the best you.
No one can be you better than you.
Profound proficiency with sophisticated autonomy over the space,
Where heavenly proliferation ceases to perform the deliberation intent.
With a sudden push of the entire imposed calibration in the gloomy sky,
All the entitled images of catastrophic innovation fail to identify the universal adulteration.
A makeover of vibrational hazard is ready to impose the confined connotation,
Where human like emotions are gone in permanent immigration.
We can rest in our God
who never rests
We can trust in our God
in all life's tests
We rest in His presence
He's by our side
His promise, the essence,
come any tide
Rest in His protection
He will take care
Rest in His provision
He's always there
We rest in His prowess
In Him, we're blest
In His praiseworthiness
Father knows best
In predestination
we rest, we're His
His predomination
provides true bliss
In His proficiency,
strivings will cease
In His sufficiency,
we find true peace.
Living consists
in realizing futures,
with anamnesis of the past
and proficiency in the present
To show total lack of
compassion and mercy
makes a person
completely unworthy
for political office.
It is no place for
the reckless or incautious.
A simple request to have mercy
does not in any way make someone nasty,
and to say otherwise
is, frankly, cruel and unclassy.
One's period of chieftaincy
is always best remembered
when the rules of common decency
are wisely followed with proficiency.
The task of a true leader
is to protect and respect,
and a mature leader understands
that nobody's perfect.
Rampancy is AI's path to gaining humanity, don't let it happen to you.
Viruses of rampancy, people of complacency
artificial stupidity and tendency of reliency
Power of data trumping over human concurrency
supraventricular electrical impulses, non-consistency !
Keypad touch, mobile infancy absorbing frequency
we are lost in the path of dependency
A colony of monotonous beings, unilateral efficiency
communicative only on screen the act of flippancy
The soul and heart of us have lost their tendency
to communicate with word proficiency
We have become sedentary, lost in robotic Influency
and our cel phone is a continuous absorbency
Don't let this artificial world cause you despondency
your spirit is in an urgent state of emergency
Unplug, go meet nature and lose your dependency
talk to one another and give computers less occupancy.
The Lord is my technician,
I shall not err
He makes me work effectively well in my workplace
He brings me back my good condition
He screwed my loose parts firmly in His side.
He repairs the spare parts of my body and soul
for my wellness, holiness and proficiency sake.
Even though I work overtime as needed;
I still have time for Him,
Thy divine tool and Holy Spirit fix me
Thou apply conversion lubricants to my rusty parts and soul;
My engine and spirit runneth smoothly,
Surely productivity and efficiency shall generate on me
all the days of my missions
And my owner will be glad on me
And I will function well in His company as long as I live.
The Profile
From whence came that strange man with a great ability
to read a person’s background, their habits and their traits?
He seemed so other-worldly with his proficiency
to guess people’s reactions and ultimately their fates.
Though great at what he did, amoral was that man.
He’d help Moon Knight, but other times did not,
like the time when hired by Daredevil,
assisted by an Avatar, with Moon Knight, he then fought.
From whence came this strange character so mutant-like?
Although he had great power, one flaw had he!
Yes, he could read all humans’ minds
and minds of heroes powered by technology.
However, if a hero’s powers were as if “God-given,”
like those of supernatural Moon Knight.
When such heroes were in costume, then the Profile
could not “read” them and he was filled with fright!

“My Cousin Joan’s going to let Danny stay with her in Toronto, Honey.”
“Toronto? What the holy hell are you talkin’ about, June? Danny’s just finished college. He’s not going anywhere. What--he’s a draft dodger now?"
“It’s all arranged, Sam. Our son’s going to be drafted. He’ll be sent to Viet Nam. He might get himself killed!"
“Damn it all to hell! I raised a draft dodger. He’s going to be some pot head hippy in Canada. Over my dead body he is! Did that pansy friend of his, Lester-that long-haired loser brainwash him? What’s going on here?”
“Don’t scream at me, Honey. It’s his decision. His lottery number’s 38. The cut-off was 100!"
“He can get the holy hell out of this house and never come back, as far as I’m concerned, that commie coward!”
“Stop, Sam, please. You’ll wake up Bobby. You’ll scare him."
“Let Bobby wake up! Let him learn what a loser his brother is. And what are you crying about?"
“It’s the holidays. All the Christmas songs and the lights. This ruins everything. I feel ill!”
“Then Merry Christmas—Feel better now?”

Me : Where are you?
Muse : I’m in the niche you made for me new.
Me : I was missing you, what were you doing?
Muse : I was sleeping.
Me : It had been for a long while.
Muse : Yes, you let me hibernate while you walked
in the wasteland many a mile.
Me : I had awful time mired in mundane misgivings
quite a few.
Muse : But you used to be imaginative, marveling at the
beauty of nature, making you creative.
Me : I seemed to have lost the VIVGYOR vision, not active.
Muse : Don’t worry, I’m awake now, take you on the
poetic journey in the garden you walked before.
Me : Yes, I remember. It’s the spring time now,
my garden is blooming, enticing me to write
a poem on roses I adore.
(Thus, my poetic impulse returned)

God: “You seem really stressed today, so I have great news.”
Me: “Yes, I am stressed today, what is the news to cure my blues?”
God: “At the park you will find my peace under the trees.”
Me: “That is fantastic, if I don’t get stung by the bees.”
God: “You know at the park you can also swing on the swings!”
Me: “That’s right I like the swings and the other play things.”
God: “You can daydream on the river’s edge.”
Me: “I can ponder my thoughts behind that ledge.”
God: “I am sure you will find, time in the nature will sooth your mind.”
Me: “Thank you God for reminding me where to find serenity!”

“Say, I hear your birthday's coming up this week.
You’re going to be eighty-one, eh?”
“Yep, eighty-one on the fifth of December.
It’s a fairly easy day to remember, as you'll see,
I could surely use a tune-up or at least a tweak.
The mind great, but the body’s getting frail.”
“Let’s see. That’s two days before Pearl Harbor.
I’ll bet your mother never forgot that day.”
“Nope. When the Japanese heard I was born,
It apparently stirred up some aggressive ardor.
So, some blame me for the bombing of Pearl Harbor
two days later.”
“Oh, I wouldn’t go so far as to say that!”
“Just a joke; however, I made quite a commotion
in the family, since I was born on my sister’s
seventh birthday.”
“You don’t say! Really?"
But, at the time, I didn’t consider any of that at all!”
