Like waves of mem'ry
Attracting my attention,
The breezes ruffle
The water's shining mirror
Distorting leaves and branches.

the implausible poseur distorting others' views
try a few of his own
see him preen for those selfies with gullibles half grown.

It is the tendency of all things in nature
to remain, undisturbed, one mind.
Oh unnatural humans!
Why must they cause ripples
in the clear midnight pond
distorting the moon’s face?

Slashed lines’ frequency extends
Neon-freckled wormhole ride
Unstable tide rocks the set
Slashed lines’ frequency extends
Ivory starlight, synthetic decay
Shape distorting abyssal cry
Slashed lines’ frequency extends
Neon-freckled wormhole ride

ORANGE CRUSH
crushed beneath the fall
visions lost in foggy dreams
bloodied trees in orange robes
distorting angels
trumpeting hallelujah
fog’s gray stone blocks the sunrise

Squeaks shrieks and whistling chirps
mixed with mimicry, colourful
spotted speckled iridescent darlings
Pixilated torturous waves at dusk
mesmerising murmurations escaping the day
starlings, self-pursued sardines of the sky
flowing contorting distorting, fly

Shimmering jewel
Wafer thin fans spread
Wide, Proud
Gentle vibrating hum
Dragonfly dashes
Engrossed
To and fro
Searching for……..
THUD
Silence
Glass distorting
Emerald to red
Blink of eye
Flap of wing no more
Nothing
Tranquility

History 101
By: Tom
1/25/2021
We cannot reach into our past, and alter any acts,
Many, demanding this change, are attempting sophistry.
They make it more palatable, by distorting the facts,
but It is what it is, and good or bad, it’s History.

Our wants do end,
But greed doesn't.
It is a rat trap
Mere bait can entrap
It’s a picture of snatching,
A saga of endless craving,
Loyalties changing,
Beliefs distorting.
It defies all logic and thrills,
Mocks sensitivity and kills.
Wake up before it’s late;
Beware lest you are caught

A once tranquil pool
starts to shudder in the winds
Distorting it's calm
Within the winds come
a blanket of soft blossoms
Hosted by nature
Cast upon the water
to create a kaleidoscope
of shapes and movements
As the pool grows calm
Movements become less frantic
shapes do coalesce

A thousand adventures
A hundred love stories
Stimulating emotions
Milestones met in time
Words igniting the imagination
Changing their faces
Distorting the lines of reality
Merging minds as one
Style and rhythm
Rhyme and reason
Time is racing forward
To relive a thousand dreams

Now new Wizards come on scene in spangled coats
PR Experts, Press, Politicians paint new scenes
That set us all at odds, each other’s throats
With smears, distorting mirrors, cunning memes

Rhyme
Raging inside me, as if I inhaled the sun
I can fell it burning my body
Distorting my mind
No matter how much I drink, I am always thirsty
My body rejects all help
I lay here waiting for my torment to end
Through it all, a vision of an angel
Though I can not see her face
I know she is here to save me

I do not know?
I will open your hands to the blow of soot
Foam around
And the pejorative of illumination
I am changing mistakes with your consciousness
The number of exaltation
Soot off the hands
Ascribes oceans to winds
I am distorting the image of reality
Darkness is pejorative
Because it does not expect illumination

I do not know?
Gallant is a white night.
Deceiving one with delight.
Beckoning with such might.
Obscuring our mind's sight.
Abducting all human rights.
Deluding our true plight.
Creating an endless fight.
Gripping souls so tight.
Distorting our foresight.
Gallant not this white night.
Hell, it will surely you unite.
Strength it takes to fight.

‘The Long Shadow’
Jenny Souter 10/07/2023
My shadow is longer than me.
Pooling my shape and stretching limbs, distorting reality.
I turn the thin paper edges up and over, frayed, like old baking parchment.
A kind of alchemy against the shadow, that is me.
We lay here together- just so-my shadow and I.

intermediate awakenings
offer heart delight
which is good
but then
ego hijacks
the understanding
affirming interpretations
viewed through mind
thereby distorting
the clear truth
and this is the trap
our presence falls into
so it is back to staid stillness
where by so becoming
we shine as the light
of pure awareness
which we are

Manic-Depression
An illness that consumes me
Speaking endless lies to me
Misconstruing the world for me
Refusing to set me free
Binding me to self destructive tendencies
Cheating me of what life could be
Supressing the love within me
Strengthening the anger buried inside of me
Distorting the truth right before me
Making me too blind to see

Who claims to be the casualty distorting a mother's right
firstly to be addressed for what it means
begin with the truth it never fails justice
To address mass murder for what choice it claims to be
abortion's the only way to lose one soul mortally dangerous
without mercy takes away every living value
and cardinal right from a child's life

Darn those sweet little lies
Deceiving duplicitous disguises
Tainting and twisting the truth
Loathsome lessons learned at youth
Casually coloring confessions
Secretly shrouding indiscretions
Desperately dodging discovery
Sometimes slandering skulduggery
Distorting details is dishonest
And should always be admonished
