Estranged

We laughed without fear
In a world we shaped as ours
Simple, steady, bright
Now each word feels sharp to you
All you do is bite and scream

 

[Quadman2]

33 1/3

Voices crying out,
Choking on pops and scratches.
Vocal chords warping,
Singing songs of hope and peace
hidden in a cardboard sleeve.

Sir Robert...you nailed this one (onomatopoeia) ...right on the wall!

In a world we shaped as ours
Simple, steady, bright
Now each word feels sharp to you
All you do is bite and scream

Another great example of onomatopoeia!

Q

CONCENTRATION

Small, cold, beady eyes
silently calculating
where to strike and when!

Avalanche

Soft, powdery snow,
Layered from multiple storms.
Silently waiting
For the perfect conditions
To become a deadly force.

Child Gone

Bald head and God eyes
Staring at infinity.
Not a chosen path
But one that he must follow,
leaving his tiny footprints.

Avalanche

Soft, powdery snow,
Layered from multiple storms.
Silently waiting
For the perfect conditions
To become a deadly force.

A cold, lava event with human intentions.

leaving his tiny footprints.

Riddle-like you cause...consternation!


Q

 

[Quadman2]

HUMAN FRAILTY

Lacking sharpened fangs,
limited sense to detect
predator's odour,
you strive to match nocturnals
with limited weak night eyes.

No poetic base...just structure and sharing... "human failings".

Q

FEAR

Uncontrollable
savage beast within our souls
as we strive calm!

Man's Best Friend

Dog's ominous growl
Rising roughly in it's throat.
Eyes tinged with fire,
smoldering for centuries,
Never tamed by this new world..

Missed one word in the last line...should have been "for calm".

Rising roughly in it's throat.
Eyes tinged with fire,

Never tamed by this new world..

Great choice of "descripters".

And, a lot of truth; depending upon the type of BREED!

I can think of a 1/2 doz dangerous dogs at the moment...with the owner, playing a maj part.

Q

 

[Quadman2]

HOPE

Eternal striving
to resolve problems to our
present dire plight

Summer Heat

Water slowly flows,
Down the drought stricken river.
Current is too weak
To fight off the sun's assault,
Choosing surrender instead.

Never felt sorrow for a river before...until now! :-(


Q

 

[Quadman2]

GARBAGE

Used pieces of scrap
creating mountains of items
no longer wanted,
filling mind, eye and nose
with remains of what once was.

Quiet Hero

Unassuming man
Doing his nine to five job.
No bright lights or fame,
Just love of his family
And the strength to support them.

Time Passes

Raggedy old man
Tottering on broken feet.
Searching for a life
That he lost in his travels
Down some forgotten highway.

 

[Quadman2]

Quiet Hero

Unassuming man
Doing his nine to five job.
No bright lights or fame,
Just love of his family
And the strength to support them.

Kinda reminds me of the movie, "Nobody" (2021).
