A Nation of Murmurations

 






A clamor of chatter

a chatter of skeletons screeching


A cloud of longings

a cloud of closings coming


A clutter of chaos closing

a matter of calamity calls


A concentration of condemns

a convention of consensus convenes


A congregation of conventions

a congregation of consenting constituents


A constellation of conditions

a constellation of concerns connects


A filth of finery 

a filth of flies’ flitter


A flight of foul foragers

a flight of opining flags flutter


A gathering of gaudy gods

a gathering of goons & loons


A hosting of harrowed helots 

a hosting horde of horror 


A roost of starlings

a roost of ranting rogues


A scourge of scarlet

a scourge of scoundrels scowling


A vulgarity of violence

a vulgarity of vultures


A vein of pain

a vault of fault


A winsome warrior of wander 

a wonder with words.

The Other Side Poetry Night

 






time has a switch that sets off,

    in all darkness and is a faint light

that brings the bewildered,

                   the beholden

and

                   the benevolent

together

as a family of love.


Time and date is 21 of November

Six-thirty opens the mic!

Paladins!! come to the faint light

And rejoice

the rejoin of poets

And lovers of song.
