Short Acronyms Poems

Wild and Free
   
   Not quite as free
   as a bird

   caged by acronyms 
   trapped by isms

   but none the less
   free
   and wild

   like a weed~...

Choking on synonyms.  The struggle of expression. No teeth. No fangs. Or paper. Or pen. Or acronyms. By night, i am his paradox. By day, his analogy. By tomorrow, i am not his. By now, i can no longer love him....

M.O.T.S.

The me of this second (MOTS)
was not here yesterday, or the
yesterday’s before.

The me of tomorrow will not remember
or care a whit about this (MOTS).

Confident that I barely recall the
me of ten minutes ago, I fully approve.

Signed: MOTN3S...

What if electronics had never been invented?
Would people be as rude to each other?
What if we had no I-phones?
Would we still be talking in person?

What if the child did not have its own TV set?
Would it still talk to its parents?
What if social media had never been invented?
Would we know what LMAO means?...

Daft Books

The books are losing all their pages -
Poetic, language, historic - all their sages.
Invisible ink between the satiny sheets.
The volumes of milk absent from their teats.

The bindings - ripping, roaring, caustic -
Old farts - haggardly - facade of plastic.
Our youth feeds on fodder from their tablet pens,
Texting emojis and acronyms from their Mercedes Benz.

Words
Nouns, adjectives, verbs...
Synonyms and antonyms
That constitute similes, metaphors, acronyms,

...and phrases

That by the brush of the tongue
Illustrate life
In all its phases

And by the collab
of heart and hand
Bring life
to blank pages...


Words,
Used to persuade,
Used to describe
Used to express
What is felt inside

Used to connect
Used to divide,
Used at your discretion
But in your selection,
Be wise...

NHS-a tribute
Trials and tribulations,acronyms,
scans ,blood tests..procedures
once unfamiliar..everyday experiences
I, now know so well.
Appointments by the dozen,with
skilled doctors,nurses..names and
faces.too many here to tell.
This, my ongoing journey,a 
marathon of time and patience
alongside a very caring profession
that’s striving to make me well.

You may hear me recite my poetry on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro ,...

Mom says she doesn't text in letters, I answer IK
She says she isn't going to learn whatever is IDK

When she is waiting for me I tell her BRB
And she asks me what is a GIF or a JPG

I will try to show her how to use them ASAP
When I get the text back later that its NYOB

So I send back an uplifting LMAO
I plan to tell her why its IMO

She replies with understanding: IK now what IDK
Is that a PIC is a JPG and asks if maybe IDK
