Not something to be so passionate
People say
Why do you love the thought of killing people
Others inquire
“Your the baby of the family you have a big heart and you wear it on your sleeve
I can’t see you getting behind and killing someone.” -my mom
Let’s the story straight
I chose to pick up a gun an fight
Not for the pleasure in death
I chose to support the men and women in camo...
Sometimes I go
To somewhere only I know
A space for me
Set in place
When I put on
My Bluetooth earphones
The outside audible world
Shut off
Disintegrated
Obliterated
And now it’s my world
Podcasts, music,
Audiobooks
Sometimes even ambients sounds
Like spring streams,
Lapping waves
Or even crowded city centres
But of my choosing
When I want
How I want
Oh my Bluetooth headphones
My inaudibility ...
Wonderfully warm protection
Keeps me warm all winter
Oh, their my obsession
I'd wear one in the hot summer even if I was a sprinter
Colors vary
But my love for them does not
Not a heavy thing to carry
But when it gets hot...
You'll still see me in a sweatshirt
Because why not
Where whatever shirt
Maybe in a tank top when it gets hot
I don't care what you think
Don't judge this heavenly piec...
When I read a book
I feel like I can fly
I love being able to listen, live, look
In the characters lives
When I read a book
I get inspired
Take one quick look
And I’m instantly lifted higher
When I read a book
I cant put it down
Immersed in the scene with Captain Hook
Or in the setting of the little town
It’s an amazing gift
I have been blessed with
To be able to be lifted
Into this world of m...
If there's something that especially pleases me,
It's when the two lines of a triangle make 90 degrees.
Less than that might be called "acute",
But it's the perfect 90 that's really a beaut!
For obtuse angles, I don't have the time,
They're at their worst when they're almost a straight line!
God proves her existence by leaving us clues,
And there's no clue clearer than the hypotenuse.
I hope...
In a mug or styrofoam cup,
In a glass as well,
In ceramic or stainless steel,
Don’t take too long to dwell.
Now pick your additions,
There’s so many that you know:
Sugar, cream,
Cold milk or steamed,
Mocha, syrup, sweet foam.
But did you know there’s more than that?
Wait until I’m done,
Ice cream, honey, butter, mint,
And for the leisure, rum.
Oh let’s not forget the roast! Would you ...
O humble bean! Fruit of stone,
In the mornings how I groan
Till you waft towards my nose,
Which shall I pick? I do not know!
Mocha, Long Black, Americano?
Turkish, Irish, Cafe Cubano?
Latte, Flat White, Cappuccino?
Decaf, on ice, Frappuccino!
Drink at home or on the go,
With a biscuit or some toast,
Never a time I will say no,
O coffee! How I love you so....
I know it sounds silly
Many just don’t believe
I’m looking forward to quietness
On this New Year’s Eve.
No clubs or discos tonight
No alcohol, no party hats
Just a peaceful evening on my own
And the company of my beloved cats.
Happy 2022, Daily Prompters
Wishing the very best to you all
Keep up the talent and creativity
May you always stand tall....
