Attic at Sunrise

Word collage emulating the bits of dust that hang in the air and catch the light.  Even  using a fixed-width font (in this case, Arial), blogspot will sometimes refuse to perfectly line things up the way I typed them.

The Canary Lookout

homophones, because I like 'em.  

The Canary Lookout

Can aeries of

Canaries of

Good pedigree from

Good pets agree from

Alarming warbles,

"All arm in! War bulls!"

Helter-skelter

Held our shelter

Deep within the earth

They were safer

They were, save for

A trickling few

A tickling fume

Wafted from the clay

The lookout saved the day

For a praise in a

Coat of arms

For appraising a

Code of harms

Emblazoned on a shield:

Canaries in a mine

Germ Party

Homophones.  The adverb form of supple can also be spelled "supply", but I thought that would just look like I was repeating the VERB "supply" used in the line above it.  Homographs can be tricky little buggers. 

Germ Party

Weekend celebration

We can sell abrasion

Influence all

Influenzal

Colonizing tingles

Call her a

Cholera

Staff injections

Staph infections

Always there to mingle

Wheeze out and cough in

We sowed and coffins

Supply their aids

Supplely there, AIDS
Lead: the poison
Led the poise on
That, or maybe shingles

Car and Raindrops

 I call this style "word collage," though if anyone knows the actual term, let me know.  The last time I did something like this was in 2010 (http://poemsbygreg.blogspot.com/2010/12/smoldered.html)  Previously I have used this style for confusion and complexity, but today's instead focuses on shaping.  .  

I wanted to make it longer, but there isn't much to say about falling rain.

Lasers in Space!

Homophonic and not particularly serious.

"Mere" has the superlative form of "merest", but no comparative form.
I presume the comparative would then be "more mere," but that sounds awful.
Though ungrammatical, "merer" is understandable and works homophonically.


Lasers in Space!

All turn at
Alternate
Ways to mirror
Waste to merer
Appearances
Up here in sus-
-tained forces
Stained, forced us
To squint, essential
To quintessential
Laser's trick
Lays our strict
Decency aside
Raise the blasters up
Now it's time to die!

A Blustery Autumn Day

I decided to do a few shorter bw/fw stanzas instead of a single longer one.  then I ended with a few free lines to end the spell.  nothing deep this week.


A Blustery Autumn Day

Gales spiraling leaves

Drafting over dew

(do-over)

Drafty leaves

Spiraling gales

Outpouring of clouds darkened

Then to hail

A tapping Morse code

More tapping, a hail

To then-darkened clouds

Of pouring out

Hunkering

Gently stepping

Puddles sloshing

I caught a girl by surprise

Shared umbrellas

Intimated

Umbrellas shared

Surprise by girl, a caught eye

Sloshing puddles

Stepping gently

Hunkering

The storm passed

We remained, huddled

With the smell of clarity

Firebug

homophones.  looking forward to next year so I can move on to a completely new style.


Firebug

The audacity!
The odd acidy
Gas particles
*gasp* articles
Wither atwixt
With her at wick's
Relevant end
Revel and and
'ware the air or
Wear the error
Warming handle's
Warning, and I'll
Depart
Deep art:
The flame
