Satisfy

I want to satisfy

The need in you

To need me

I want to satisfy

Your every need

So you always need

To come back for more

I want to satisfy

My love

Notes:

Trifecta is going away. This is a bummer. Even though Team Netherworld's writing never passed their muster, we still kind of like them and enjoyed the challenges.

The Psycho has no-one in her life to inspire the writing of such a poem as the one shared above. This poem is written by one of our favorite characters to his wife. He has a tendency to write sappy poetry to her. 

This is far less awkward than the awful poem that one of our other borrowed characters wrote with someone else's wife in mind. In fairness, it was actually an old poem that he wrote after he and this woman spent 666 years together in a hell consisting of nothing but kitchens with spray cheese and saltine crackers. Also, at the point when he wrote the poem, he hadn't yet met the lovely succubus who would become his wife. He used the poem to impress the Vogons, who had asked him to participate in a poetry reading aboard their flagship. He was suffering from writer's block and couldn't come up with any new material.

This blog will officially be participating in the April A-Z challenge. Stay tuned. We hope to avoid writing any awkward Vogon-appeasing poetry.

MS in 33

 

MS in 33

 

To feel my abilities slip away

To have more to do and say

Yet be unable to do even the smallest of things

I know this is what my future brings

All stolen away

~Yeris~

 

I am working off two prompts. The OctPoWriMo prompt asks for a rhyming poem, and the Trifecta prompt asks for something that scares us (or a character of ours) in 33.

The loss of my abilities to MS does not scare me so much as it depresses me. I was diagnosed 12 years ago. I have periods of remission, which are like coming into the light from a dark cell. I know that these will become fewer and farther between as the disease progresses.

It seems that I went from

Losing teeth

To being long in the tooth

Jumping and sliding

From one year to the next

Always hoping in vain

For things to ease up

The Butterfly in the Cemetery

The Butterfly in the Cemetery

I don’t remember

If the butterfly at your memorial service

Was teal

Or monarch

It flew towards the horizon

While the bagpipes played Amazing Grace

Mom believed it was a sign from you

Yesterday's Dreams

 

Yesterday's Dreams

 

It’s not likely that anyone will ring soon

Asking me to star on stage or screen

That ship long ago sailed away

On the dark water of yesterday’s

Dreams that never came true

Deadlines

When it comes to deadlines

I’m always hurrying to beat time

Before the final bell’s chime

And I find myself out of line

When it comes to deadlines

Procrastination is my crime

Pedantic

Go here to show appreciation for the photo

PEDANTIC (adjective)

1 : of, relating to, or being a pedant(see pedant)

2 : narrowly, stodgily, and often ostentatiously learned

3 : unimaginative, pedestrian

Why is being pedantic

Being boring

Losing one’s dreams

Confining one’s spirit

Caging one’s soul

Somehow seen as a badge of honor

Do we really need an external hell?

Is not the destruction of the desire to create

Punishment enough?

Disturbing Raven

Dark clouds cloak the night;

chilly winds creak gnarled branches,

grasping as bony fingers.

Disturbed Raven squawks

at frightened children - screaming,

then laughing - they throw him treats.

This poem serves a triple purpose. I've submitted it for the A to Z Blogging Challenge, for NaPoWriMo, and for Trifecta.

The word count for Trifecta begins with the poem after the title and before my signature. It is 32 words.

Lost

With the change of the

Century I discover

My hope to gain acclaim lost

All I dreamed then

I did dream in vain I see

It seems it is too late now
