My dulciana
Agonised me again,
But the ballerina
Floored as I'd never been.
Warfare can not euphemize
With tiger reverberation;
We always decimalize
For vicinal desiccation!
Is a unifoliate unproductive
Or nonradioactive?
(Weekly Magnetic Poetry Challenge • August 10–16, 2026)
Each day is priceless;
We can treasure memories
Of both weal and woe.
The more the silence, the louder it gets.
Life is filled with misery and despair.
I find peace as the sun sets.
One can never breathe the fresh air.
Why am I stuck with this feeling?
Never satisfied nor ecstatic.
Why is life this sad and depressing?
Is my life really problematic?
All I feel is wistful and despondent.
Rainstorms all over my room.
Can I ever be independent?
I am happy, is what you assume.
One whose lips seals:
Do so at meals.
Don't out things reel;
Try to face feel.
It looks not ideal,
either you real...
Is that O Neal,
Who can't lips seal?
Watch it at meals;
With pepper deals.
Who can't lips seal:
Please, let wounds heal,
Big laughter peal;
Peace Mankind feel;
Strike The Christ's Deal...
Glance I steal
At Eyes of Steel.
They crush like wheel
And could flesh peel;
On yours a weal...
Talker at meal:
Face your veal.
When the humid breath of spring crowned this place
Two darlings buds blossomed in one.
Lines of years unrolled with eagle mighty wings apace
Through toothed seasons, many delightful adventures won.
Once his hands landed on heaped treasure
With king like mien, he dropped with empty care
Who flooded his bosom with amorous pleasure.
With king like rue he wails, "bulk treasure brims no heart anywhere."
Limelight can burn;it never heals,
no matter fame how good it feels -
succombing to excesses, worse,
resisting not temptation's curse.
