ANNIVERSARY

For d'verse open link night #85

SHINE ON

Now appearing, at a situation
close to heart.

An endearing celebration
is about to start.

It's that time of year;
a happy birthday, hope your dreams
come true.

In the rough, or crazy,
one thing lasts forever Diamond,
You...!


Happy Birthday my babe...

WHIRL #97

For Sunday Whirl: Prophets, Stealing, Patience, Discipline, Limits, Gazing, Tears, Fly, Sublime, Pieces, Heroic, Moment.

LOW PROFILE

In the words of the prophets...

"Stealing the limelight is wrong"
"Patience is a virtue" and
"Discipline is paramount"

But of course there are limits
Gazing into space all day
Can reduce a man to tears

Fly in the ointment follows
(Sublime to ridiculous)...
"My head is in pieces now..."

Not a heroic moment!

MEDIA

For d'verse open link night #84

TECHNO TECHNO LOGIC

Back in UK AV broadcast history
All we had as kids was monochrome TV
Single channel tune-in to the BBC
Later upgrade that enabled ITV

'Wireless' just meant 'radio' back in the day
AM/FM disco bopping forty-five airplay
All change with the future looming Y2K
Music volume pumped up twenty four hours every day

Years later...

We watched JVC
We had double D
Then came DVD
To our LCD

And today

We've got DAB
Also DAT
Watching VOD
We can PPV

Not to mention Terabyte Technology
Tablet, i-Pod, Mobile Phone and home PC
Image upload and download in full HD
Microchip updates facilitate 3D

Slower mode megapix
Overload of pop chart mix
Throw enough until it sticks
Sell your soul to get your kicks

Slow motion replay
No notion DJ
Do you hear what we say?
Auction it on ebaY!

Internet connection
Virus infection
Maintenance inspection
PC resurrection

Bio logic?
Geo logic?
Patho logic?
Where's the logic?

Pro logic
Psycho logic
Techno
Techno

Techno Logic

WHIRL #96

For Sunday Whirl:

OCD

Root of the problem, it seems...
lack of life experience
Hiding behind the locked door
of your mind that made no sense...
Imaginary faces
And visions of naked flesh

Candlelight inadequate
to shed illumination
Images of giving birth
held your imagination
Now reason scurries, escapes
is swept under the carpet...

SEE HEAR

For d'verse poets open night #83

WHIRLYWHATSIT...

For Sunday Whirl: Open, Bottle, Plume, Ball, Term,
Court, Thread, Coral, Bathe, Incident, Rare, Dry.

WHAT'S MY NAME...?

An open invitation
but have you got the bottle
to take on a nom de plume...?

You must be right on the ball
to make it last the long term
and stick in a court of law.

Call yourself Fred... with a 'Th'
'Thread' will do their heads right in...
No-one will even... coral...!?

(You know I can't say 'quarrel')

Bathe yourself in the glory
of a unique incident...
As rare as rocking horse shit

Celebrate with a glass of dry white...

BACKFIRE, EMBARRASS, TASTE

For Three Word Wednesday

AT BREAKFAST I'M SEB'S CARER

If your plans backfire
You could embarrass yourself
You'll taste humble pie

SETTING AN EXAMPLE

For The Sunday Whirl: Go, Again, Fuss, Straight, Wish, Miserable, Interest, Prove, Sweet, Bust, Figure, Enough.

PARENTAL GUIDANCE

Here we go again...!
But what's all the fuss about?
I'll tell you, straight up...

You wish I'd lay off...
You're miserable as sin...
Show some in-te-rest!

Just to prove my point
I'll give you some sound advice
Got to keep things sweet!

It's not 'shit or bust'!
(to use a figure of speech)
...Have you had enough...?

PRIDE

For Haiku Heights

BEFORE THE FALL

First round - proud as punch...
Ten rounds of 'rum punch' later
Punch drunk by proud boast
