More Randomness

The prompt sites I visited today had some terrific words and ideas for writing inspiration, but - at least for a few of them - kind of reined me in from writing silly or funny stuff, which is a sweet spot for me.  Nevertheless, that's a good thing, because it forces me to stretch my creative muscle and focus in a different way.  So, that's what I did (although I still managed to get in a few silly and funny things, too.)

Cloaked Monk's March Challenge put forth 'slavery' in honor of Harriet Tubman Day. Theme Thursday gave a word and picture prompt of 'space.' Poets United Thursday Think Tank provided the theme of 'ghosts' and finally (from yesterday, actually) Poetic Asides wanted to see a 'turn around poem.'

Slavery

“If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong.” ~Abraham Lincoln, letter to A. G. Hodges, Apr. 4, 1864

The wrongness of it

is compounded only by

the act of silence.

Philosopher Insult

“Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.” ~Democritus, Greek philosopher, 460-370 BC

You are but atoms

(in my humble opinion)

plus some empty space.

What Haunts You

“Eat, drink and be scary”.  ~Author Unknown

Overindulgence

is a ghost that’s been known to

come back and haunt you.

Turned ‘Round Words

Fighting a liar,
a blushing crow
are just a few
Spoonerisms I know.

A half-warmed fish,
nicking your pose -
these things are fun
in poem or prose.

Soul of ballad,
a lack of pies...
Turned ‘round words

cannot disguise

those belly jeans.
Go help me sod.
The list goes on,
despite how odd

it beams to sea,
that’s the pun fart
‘cause Spoonerisms
are linguistic art.
