By Poet "Oh yes, 100% human here. No AI for me."
Come let me tell you a story,
how writers once wrote.
They wrote from their loving hearts,
telling stories in different styles.
Some were rhymes or funny limericks,
verse was a favorite along with a tanka.
I find acrostic to be fun,
but taking more thought and time.
Today this new thing called AI,
is the new kid on the block.
AI has no loving heart to write with,
yet many readers have been blinded.
I put much thought and reflection,
into each poem for my readers.
A true writer writes because they love to,
also writing for their many readers.
in this funny house
smiles reflect by a clear pool
white gowns run the maze
extracting caries for cash
drilling down to build up crowns
People and Clowns 1 (Tanka)
People laugh at clowns
for entertainment and sport
because clown are fools
who laugh at them in return
because they mimic people.
***
People and Clowns 2 (Senryu)
Clowns make people laugh,
and people laugh because clowns
are funny people.
***
People and Clowns 3 (Tanka)
People laugh at clowns,
and clowns laugh back at people,
and marvelously,
they both laugh at each other,
and then they laugh together.
***
tympanic laughter
of spinal decompression
a coupled release
entering the late night room
oxygen rushing headlong
Antics aplenty
Plastic dog poop everywhere
Rude whoopee cushions
Is your fridge running? Catch it!

ringing in our ears— Oh dear!
reactionary
reapplication of clothes
our rearing of kids over?

As summer begins,
frequent visitors woo me;
Mosquitoes in stripes~
Stealing kisses on my cheeks,
Leaving kiss marks left and right.

2nd place
One day in garden
I was digging into dirt
Hit unknown bees nest
I was swarmed, attacked and stung
Running as I ripped off shirt!

Roommate mosquito
waits for me to hit the sack
turns to a vampire,
my hand strikes as a hammer,
it flies out, I break my neck.

a wasp jabs its sting
deep into my derriere
a butt load of itch...
too embarrassing to scratch
yet too itchy to ignore
buzzing mosquitos
partial to my fast-food face
fly in for a bite...
landing ever so lightly
risking the chance of a slap
blackfly bites can get
so incredibly itchy,
my nails get worn down...
scratching bumps until they bleed:
these itches drive me crazy
Buzzing above me
Whizzing through shadowy flight
Stabbing fangs in skin
Causing welts and itchy bites
Festering plots slay these pests

aisles of antiques
corrugated with named streets -
cups, saucers and book bindings
…stomach’s churning. i’m paying,
booking with dog-eared treasures.

Hello my kitten
You are little and pleasing
Meowing he speaks
He has weird front paws and feet
Cuddles waddles so darling
