Wordy 30 poem: six 5-letter words.
(I confess, spelling honor without the ‘u’ in this context hurts a bit).

Or Maybe 42? Magnetic poem. (c) Shawn L. Bird

I have a lot of magnetic poetry kits. I really do need to play with them more. Do you have words on your fridge? What poem is there?

Title: Or maybe 42?

Text reads:
man
you manipulate my world
you judge
this purple dress
ugly
You need people.
discover delicate delirious plot
live by iron sea
ancient forest enormous lake
search the empty vision.
sit chant whisper
explore answer to life
it is easy:
make beautiful moments
dream happy eternity
.
(PS. Do you get the allusion in the title and how it relates to the poem?)

Little dogs
sleeping in
the sunbeam.

Conserving
energy
for defence.

In case of
slamming car
doors or cats.

Seagulls cry
screaching calls,
skydiving.

Spiralling
through blue skies
watching us.

Picnic lunch
temptation
French fry thieves.

You and I
lakeside walks
sunset dreams.

What once was:
happiness.
Now a void.

My fake smile

is unfeigned

on pay day.

What is that stuff all over your back, dog?
In the slime is a white ball.
Gross botfly larva OUT.

Another kimo poem. 3 lines with 10-7-6 syllables. A kimo poem is supposed to be an image. I hope it isn’t too disgusting an image for you!
Our senior dog had a lump in her back that appeared and grew over the last week. She scratched it open today, and in cleaning and examining it, I discovered a parasite. 😦 I was going to attach a photo, but really. You don’t want to see the hole in the poor little dog or the 8mm critter that was in the hole!
