blood-drops on the carpet
tear drops on the floor
mind swirling out in orbit
thoughts kept inside a drawer
windows open - doors shut
when it rains it sure pours
chained luck on rabbit's foot
a meatless carnivore
*
two drinks after midnight
a light buzz with no bees
wingless so it won't fly
a cute name for my knees
a quick play and some sci-fi
a breeze blows through the trees
I resist then I comply
then I do just as I please
*
senseless words to be playful
jumbled in a row
paid under the table
I've got cards I won't show
Smile once if you're able
twice if you don't know
three times to enable
my rhyming game to grow

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?

This work is a game that will have you thinking.
Love your rhyming games!!
This is beautifully written. Well done.
This had an amazing rhythm to it. Loved your poem!
It wasn't easy, but I smiled three times for you. (Your whimsical bit of verse made it easier.)
