An Appetite for Stake and Whine (wip)

An Appetite for Stake and Whine , input welcomed. #kwirb #poetry #kwirbsblurbs #workinprogress

An Appetite for Stake and Whine i. A thirst from salty, canon disgrace lingers in the lulling seconds of liberation tempted by tongue's cusp. ii. Spices. Nuzzling, settling, wooing brine in coddles of clutched distaste; lolls in minute savoriness, melted incandescence. Fondling nerves with familiar scents and tastes. iii. ( chewing. ) iv. Sparks clink, deluging the gamboling, famished, strident…

Plight of a Grave Guardian (wip)

Plight of a Grave Guardian #poetry #workinprogress #wordplay #kwirb #kwirbsblurbs #rusty #wtf

Plight of a Grave Guardian I, the Grave Guardian, used to feed off the dead; One, after the other, I would take refuge in their demise, leaving nothing but an engraved stone – the only evidence – (the robbery) nourishing me.And, now, I am outnumbered by seemingly living things seeing through me; things I cannot consume but of see-through, self-consuming, living things – death awaits, self-d…

Candle

When I light you, you flicker. When I touch you, you burn.

Melt down your body until you are nothing more but a flat disc. I gave you life

and you died on me…                         Oh, why?

A Hostage Situation (L. obses situ)

A Hostage Situation (L. obses situ) - Brevity Challenge #Kwirb #KwirbsBlurbs #AllPoetry #Brevity #Challenge #2Lines

A Hostage Situation (L. obses situ)

Led solely by the whispers of a hopeful protagonist when, suddenly, the writer became his own anti-hero.

Prompted by this brevity challenge.

Because, prompts are super fun!

Every Man, Warbling (a Sonnet)

Every Man, Warbling - a Sonnet #kwirb #BacktoBasics #KwirbsBlurbs #Sonnet #14Lines #MakeThemCount #InItToWinIt

Every Man, Warbling (a Sonnet)

These meek ballads of every man forlorn’d are sung from the pleas made out of temporal marriages from keys, notes, medley’s intoned in vivid nows; a slight architectural

form whose function is to plead and relieve the restlessness of unfinished music. An elusive sound interweaves bittersweet serenades with flatly choral strains musing.

These ballads tempt his soul’s…

Embrace This Circumstance

Embrace This Circumstance - 20 lines, picture prompt - #kwirb #poetry #KwirbsBlurbs #brevity

Embrace This Circumstance

Perhaps it is courage or some semblance of it where wires that fray from this fray to that bonds all troubles with dashes of

beep. (finality.) beep.

something else; a reminder that frailty is not the result but the conditions from whence this broken ballad began its resounding trill in faint pulses.

beep.

A pulsation that resounds beyond the rooms we’ve found ourselves…

The Difference

The Difference - Brevity - 99 words (stanza enumeration, included) #kwirb #LessWordy #KwirbsBlurbs #brevity #99words #poetry

The Difference

i.

The reasons for your choices are the essence of my existence.

Your words are cutting

slices of me

that fall between your and my

ideals;

the little things

that define us. ii.

We never changed.

Your admittance

cannot transcend beyond

your views of my youth

whilst your years are the pillars

cemented in my foundation.

Your departure

ruins me;

the bigger things

that became us. iii.

in your words, dancing, through your plots advancing; from prose entrancing as dins of emotional things. – Ruthless reaming, pauseless scheming. – (maybe dreaming) An uncanny ability to belittle the little that is left of me. But, in you, the only right is greater than worse. (cruelest credo) A remarkable ignorance. – Choked on egos from mediocre placebos. – In your lessened…

Through A Silent Moment He Whispered To Me

Through A Silent Moment He Whispered To Me

Through A Silent Moment He Whispered To Me

This barely audible larking will be my demise. A throaty moan? An uplifting tone? Words forlorn? From silence to a shivering whispers’ surprise

was that voice. It lingers from somewhere born of wishful pleas or wistful deeds that deluged my lungs; narrow-valved hushes, colloquy-adorned.

Though your exacting exhale is my literal refuge, I cannot imagine…

TOOLS

I’ve been using the wrong tools to complete your tasking demands of me.

Whether shiny or rusty or opaque in luster, these tools are all I have.

From your whizzing gadgets and gizmos aplenty, my contraptions implement nothing.
