(Weekly Magnetic Poetry Challenge • September 21–27, 2026)
I am
fermenting in tedium
emotionally over-reactive
frequently inappropriate
irresponsible but trustworthy
discontentedly powerless
and frequently overwhelmed.
When Russia inevitably evens the score
Ukraine will remain an unpainted whore
To NATO unattractive
Russia wary, reactive
Hiding in alleyways, pre-Third World War
Oh dear oh dear
where is the beautiful game?
behind its defensive wall
it seems passing back&forth
is now the be&end-all-
reactive not proactive & no guile
'wing-back' sums-up this woeful style
****-retentive
stick up the ass
over-reactive
over-dramatization
over seemly unimportant
irrelevant issues seemed to
always be the response to
crossing over the pet-peeve line
that had been created over time
Sits the monkish owl.
Beneath its own cowl.
If not candled and windowed, lit as
Soft, meditative.
That, wakeful, before
Sinks, wearily, more.
Grass-burnt, sunned life. Flashed too lewd, pranced through.
Dawned; hell-reactive.
Caressing touches are so luscious
That emotions so crush us.
Temping smells are so attractive
Causing desires so reactive.
Soothing voices are so alluring
Creating thoughts so enduring.
Our feelings are so addictive
Our behavior so predictive.
D is for desire, your thoughts do aspire.
A is for attractive, internally and externally reactive
T is for tough, not hard but ten ply enough
S is for sincere, a pillar of truth to all you hold dear
O is for orderly, a lifelong passion you are extraordinary
N is for normal, step outside of the box that is so formal
It brightens a room
It warms a heart
Leaves quite an impression
That's how it starts
This one simple act
Can transform a day
Turn it to blue skies
Wash away the grey
So contagious, so attractive
Slap one on and its reactive
Just try it sometime
You'll see it's worthwhile
When you flash one of these
An unbelievable SMILE
My Shadow ! Sensitive : Nearest relative !
In light, you appear dark, active, selective.
In dark, you flee, being reactive ! Fugitive !
Wow ! Close to follow : short, long, wide, narrow
as light with me be able to allow ,--
sideways, back, front to come and go.

The first day I saw him,
He was with a group of men,
Chattering silently,
Something struck me then,
And it was Cupid,
I was wounded.
Whenever I saw him,
My analytical mind would completely shut down,
Exposing my reactive mind,
Thus,
My actions grew irrational.
But now,
I am struggling to heal,
I have taken out the arrow,
But the wound is still there.
My days are defined by routines
Predictable and soothing
Mostly determined by the needs
Of my wife and our five dogs.
My nights in contrast
Are ruled by the mercurial
Creative power of a dreaming mind
Where anything’s possible and welcome.
Where does such creativity come from?
I can only imagine
It is merely the reactive
Opposite of my days.

A QUATRAIN of ALLITERATIVE ATTRIBUTES
bumpkinly buttercup bannerlike bovid boloney breath brainwashed at the bibliothecal
reschedule recapitulate reactive reignite reflective radar repercussion
spiteful snorting sociopath signal schematically scare submarine
understand unmodifiable uninquiring uniformize unfalteringly unawares unsay unpleasing unreadably
One's state of one's predestination. One's divine will. One's stumbling upon factors of one's fate, standing against twists and turns, people, places and personal possessions. Circumstances do and will appear to be written upon the wall. Kismet are you reactive to one's freewill and actions? Outcomes now and then beyond one's control one tend to face one's fate.
Now again I am here expressing feelings from deep within heart...
understanding you- I’m trying to,
My darling sweetheart
you must understand I am delighted to love you.
I wish only you to kiss;
a gentle peck to correct
loss, sadness, sickness.
Nurture you as lovers do...
for the entire world can go fickle as long as we don’t and
whenever you believe it’s over, I won’t.
Insurmountable
These feelings seem to overpower
As your breath seduces me
Calls to me
Excites the very part of me
That seems to always seek more
And needs more
I am enamored
Brilliantly blinded by beauty
Sensually, silently seduced
Reacting quietly, yet fervently
Heated to reactive tendencies
Letting my mind erupt in fantasy
As thought turns to reality
Stillness ever present scintillating;
softened attention our meditation,
doing nothing besides gently looking
at form and space, without calibration;
mindfulness our core orientation,
to each throb, receptive and attentive,
surrendered nonchalance non-reactive,
in joy and trust, welcoming magnetism,
be it gently purring or explosive,
each node within form, our sensorium.

We volley with sketchy returns
each moment of empathy mirrored
in cough or laugh,
toothy smile or nod
to prod hundreds of
muscles in chase,
scrambling for that
elusive reciprocal
that binds us in effort,
a hiccup of reactive
responses contrary
to conscience or will
to fill yawning mendacity
while locking journeys
in mutual discord
behind the mask
of ordinary compassion
banishing inner calm.
We cannot hide the way we feel;
you and I have our own lovers,
but our chemistry is too reactive
to be contained in our hearts;
flirting in the shadows, and making love
without any suspicion, has always been
our dirty secrets.
Secret lovers is what we are,
we cannot hide the way we feel,
or even think of letting it go,
for we will hurt each other so.....

What's in a name?
Not much to say
If nobody knows
That certain way
Your story grows
Beyond empty blame.
Story in a tale?
Not much more here
Except a hint
As odd strains cheer
Pleasure wrought by mint
Gusts windy gale.
Question your motive?
Cold breeze now hurls
Catch-up on a squeeze
Feel that sure curl
Fumble in a tease
Passive-reactive.

Singapore
I had my shot today
it made me feel a little gray
a side effect of medication
a doctors creation
Given by the nurse doth bestow
my husband holds my hand though
my friend talks to me on the phone
to calm my nerves as is above shown
It was a little hot today
what else should I say
I'm at home to recuperate
with my soul mate
It usually wears off by now
after my evening chow
tonight I feel a little hyper active
my pulse is a little reactive
When the cavalcade
in all its bluster
surrenders a gasp
to mutilation,
demands for reason
remind the renegade
that independence in isolation
ensures despair
regardless of economy
or lifting diction
until cornered,
provoking the reactive dongle
to flair each lizard eye
of survival with fangs
or invisibility
while skittering
like scandal onward
to twist the
imagination of
every blistered soul
before finally
branding the fringe
of consciousness
in harmonic accord.
