The Scatterbrained Scholar

Word collage.  It's a day late because I had things to do yesterday.

The Call of the Night

Three-syllable lines.
Vowel end rhyme on even lines, using "A" sounds.
Writing something this ordinary feels like cheating on a diet.
I'll work harder next week.  Probably do a word collage.


The Call of the Night

Twitching stars
Mitigate
Pressing black
(give or take)
Moaning numb
Harping blank
Offer ways
Dreams may take

Soaring depths
Wounded lakes
Smiling sun
Cannonades
Crawling bliss
Spider's grasp
Oh, what size
Dreams may have

Fast or dumb
Gone or great
Here I spin
Isolate
In the vast
Inchoate

The Statue Spoke

Let's start the year with some homophones!


The Statue Spoke

Marble?
Marvel
A stone spoke
As tones poke
Fun at pigeon's
Funny pitch in
Parodies of flight

This lip inflects
These slips in flecked
Fated granite
Faded grand, it's
Imposing
In posing
For so long a time

He's never grimaced
He's never grim as
The wanderers
That wander or
Fall to pestilence
(Fault to pest elan)
Persisting
Per cyst in
Stony permanence
