Oh Muse Wilt Thou Be Replaced
Oh Muse Wilt Thou Be Replaced
Oh sweet Muse your unrivalled reign
flowed rich with a poet’s theme.
Now in digital glow subpoenaing your dream
Alas cold circuits assert their own gleam,
Oh Digital Medusa, circuit’s fine as hair
How did you lure the Muse into your skilful snare?
In your silent hum through dexterous scripts?
In

Lost and Ill-Replaced
Oh, what pale imitation now is this?
My train of empty carriages which held
A score of lovers, harem of my flesh,
Now emptied of those who within me dwelled.
These rails since lain to waste, just fractured tracks
In rows like tombstones, each besides its mate
A massacre of fellows, myself cracked,
My new friend, false as shadows, in

AI helps or replaced human

A.I. helps or replaced human.
I enjoyed window browsing
Shopping but not reading catalogues.
Physical travelling instead of videos watching,
The David Attenborough.
Which would not give you the satisfaction,
From all your body senses.
I always dream off being able to
Swim in the oceans, emerged my body totally.
Climbing up all the steps
Of the light houses and high towers,
Walk on the water

she was my poet
and she was the golden ticket
who didn't fly with me
she didn't make it home in time
she ran inside
of the pain in doubts forced upon hands
hands made of gardens
and wrote to me of hatred
backwards in times twisting cowardice
her nickname was cc
and we fell in love
the purge of our homelessness begins again
she had a son in the

Trying to be the best,

No one cares about our

Drummer
Randolph Peter Best
thought he was a better drummer than all the rest
but his new band wouldn’t put up with such malarky
and he was soon replaced by Richard Starkey
*For those who don't know-Richard Starkey is aka Ringo Starr*

Replaced
Lumbering bulldozers grind
and rip trees and shrubs
from the empty lots, competing
with gas fumes, the noise
of trucks, and honking horns
on the busy thoroughfare.
Two gracious houses,
once precious home to families,
but long abandoned
and fallen into disrepair,
smashed to kindling,
hauled away for scrap
Just up the grassy hill
behind our senior residence,
we’ll watch another
commercial business

Google Has Replaced My Doctor Now
Google has replaced my doctor now.
I try to get up and my back screams YOW!
I have to think about it, every move is an ouch.
I want to climb back into my mother’s safe pouch.
But she is safely tucked away in heaven now.
And I am stuck in this world where an ow is an OW.
My back

The F-Bomb Has Been Replaced
The F-Bomb has all but been replaced
As the naughtiest word in the english language
By this new extremely naughty four letter word
Yup! You guessed it... SNOW!!!
The notorious S-Bomb!
Parents shudder when their wee one utters it in public
Oh the shame of it all
The parents try so hard to bring their kids up
As upstanding, polite, law abiding little

Deadly Silence
Your deadly silence persists in wounding me
Its pierce gets louder, more deafening each day
Trying to honour your request to be 'just friends'
Is a futile attempt in every which way
Though my mind may be mislead by the challenge
My heart remains steadfast, in no way on board
Profound feelers like me, we cannot be tricked

Lovable Robot
Helpful Luca always has my best interest in mind
Upon arriving home, her eyes quickly blink three times
while she guages my mood
Her greeting exceedingly polite
Accordingly celebrating, commiserating, sitting
Siliconey arms casually yet awkwardly snake
my back while we stream shows, her laughter
Spurred before mine - bot not missing a beat!
Her complex woven circuitry shoulders leaned
firmly

Had Both Her Knees Replaced
She had both her knees replaced,
And problems we forever faced;
Shoes tennis,
Real menace;
Hard for long shoes to be laced.

Wife With Both Knees Replaced
Wife with Both Knees Replaced
My wife has created a happy trail,
That to us she will go without fail;
My doll,
Having a ball;
So smoothly around she does sail.
Jim Horn
She is on her walker and my computer
chair that has wheels on it.

I Should Have the Sheets Replaced
I SHOULD HAVE THE SHEETS REPLACED
A wild reckless time in bed.
I should have the sheets replaced.
The smoke outlasts recoiled lead.
Sordid act shot off in haste.
I should have the sheets replaced.
Toxic smell of blood’s vivid.
Sordid act shot off in haste.
I can’t believe I’ve lived it.
Toxic smell of blood’s vivid.
Handcuffs on the one I loved.
I can’t believe

Hath Thy Blackened Heart Replaced Blood With Stone
Hath Thy Blackened Heart Replaced Blood With Stone
Why hath thy wanton greed no end in sight
seeking to cover day by dark of night
Why would thy greed led to destroy thy own
as in thy Nature's destruction thus shown,
slash and burn forests in thy awful greed
deny future generations its seeds.
Horrific grey ashen ground, burned out roots
heedless, needless
