Short Tropes Poems

A time for peace
     a time for war
   A time for darkness
     relentless horror... yet
  
   in its midst, a time for prayer
     A time for Hope
   A time to cleanse our hearts
     of hate-filled tropes

   A time to build a house for God
     to dwell here on earth
   To shine His light in darkest corners
     to usher in the great Rebirth...

the simple

of

     interfolding

Maids-Housekeepers

 of maids and housekeepers.
Are groups of clean reapers
This can be any tropes.
 can be any genre.
Cleaning whole home, from porch to kitchen
Washing, windows, walls and dishes

Why do you listen to echoes of shells strewn above your ears?

Those voices, once soft and loving, now bark churlish commands from ai drones, whirring subconscious tropes, retrievable by unseen

Puppet Masters; confident their mass of
Luminoids will sway like clouds of wind

Swept insects, inhaling vast quantities of
Ideas and movements of humans

             who

                      remember...

Thou, tumbling raindrop,
Heaven's happy teardrop,
Enter the earth as a savior

Reason behind the ravishing rainbow
A single drop makes the withered rose glow
In dry lands, you kindle the dead hope
No words can expose your generousness, even any tropes
Disguised angel sent to the earth by God
Remarkably to shatter thirst, hunger and odds
Oh! my dear glittering raindrop
Pour pour pour and don't stop

She is multi-talented,
Her writing skill is a dope. 
Her speaking skills will lift you up,
Even if you are a Mope.
Though she major in Biology,
She's good with the use of tropes.
Despite her challenges, 
She's find a way to cope.
She wakes up daily, 
With a renew energy of hope.
Her future is assured,
She doesn't need any horoscope.
There will be a brighter day,
Her name shall be heard everywhere on the globe....

FACINATION
 a certain awe
 a kind
of reverence
illustrated
 mediated
fancifully
 conceived

an executed
 fantasy
through
 a
 virtual

 immersed
in trepidation

a vast moodscape
 iof seriousness
&severity
both  immediate
& passionate
driven

the seed
 of inspiration
unforgettable

 the
transgressive

 mythic tropes

School uniforms
are the last, tired gasp of a
dying patriarchy.

You see a DARK bra
under my blouse? Oh, God! Who
knew girls wore those!

School uniforms, with
long sleeves, aren't made for
pandemic washing.

A guy told me that
girls in school uniforms are
a core porn motif.

I told him his grasp
of porn tropes must rival 
that of our school board.

School uniforms are
meant to UNsex otherwise
provocative girls.

p.s. I write short stories too  =]...

The exorcists were taking him
to pyre,
after eating the pollens,
the pistils,
columns of culture,
rosettes of centuries,
collapsed tropes.

Solid thorns were piercing the eyes
to cleanse the vision
of color-blinds.
It was the morphed sex
of a virgin goddess
humming to cool
the hot caresses.

Arousal of sleeping dragons,
promiscuity,
wood roses,
proactive subjects popping up,
which was it, besides bread and butter,
beds, only beds?
A semi-boiled love?
