You had me briefly careening
towards that crooning
but your excessive preening
and secret self-loathing
won an abrupt ending

An abrupt end to his romance:
She wasn’t there simply by chance.
It seems that her hubby
Cared not for the chubby
That sound you hear? The ambulance!

Compact conversations
Abrupt move aways

waiting Anxiously, insanity taking hold

     testimony that disrupts
       proceedings it interrupts
     in a courtroom liable to erupt… 

       from a recess abrupt
       order is anon plucked

Home Phone

Surely you must know
 that when my home phone rings
 And my message warm and welcoming
 Or stern, stiff and abrupt
 that if caller id fails to recognize you
I won't pick up!

Premium Member STRAND POETIC REVIEW Sept 26

Lines are short, abrupt, and broken up staccato like

Poet Gertrude Stein
had a staccato style quite fine
She also became a Cubist
& with prose poetry for a while did persist

Hint Book Out of Print

Hint Book Out of Print

Trump had hint his book out of print;
Started roaring and then recalcitrant;
Did seem abrupt;
Intent is corrupt,
When we learned what moron meant.

He is bright and curious
Mr. 2025
Eager to give new fresh starts

Premium Member Dreams

Sleepy feelings 
Blurry thinking


Slowly sinking
Into dreaming


Heavy breathing
Abrupt falling


Dreams now calling
Drowsy floating

Melt

Cold hands
Abrupt attacks on skin of a furnace
Teasing the surface 
A passionate play through hair standing like stalks of wheat
Transferring love 
Warmth soaking the chill
As sun bathes the dawn

Trump Approach Abrupt

Trump Approach Abrupt

Trump's approach is always rather abrupt;
Causes trouble and things likes to disrupt;
Hard to predict;
Makes you sick,
And came to collusion that he is corrupt.

Disrupt and Corrupt

Disrupt and Corrupt

America, Putin and Trump want to disrupt;
Much that this could end up being corrupt;
For sure we know,
And I told you so;
With you about this we want to be abrupt.

Premium Member Awakening 1

The old year fades
Weary with pain
An abrupt trade
Oozing now plain

So many scars
Bind up the past
Doors once ajar
In a blast last

Loss feels heavy
Beyond fancy


Heavy this wreck
Unfinished tracks


Abrupt harsh cut
No ifs or buts


Void in torn page
Loss bestows rage

Premium Member Lightfoot For Mayor of Chicago Again

Lightfoot's Mayor job, let's not interrupt
  Removing her from office, too abrupt ~ 
    Forget the lockdowns and crime
    Schools half-empty all the time ~
  Truth is, she's not sufficiently corrupt

Erupt and Corrupt

Erupt and Corrupt

He was belligerent and rather abrupt;
With much emotion he would erupt;
Not well-kept,
And also inept;
He and his character were both corrupt.

Jim Horn

Did end up doing something corrupt.
