To lock or not to lock
Speaketh the tragic fop
Suffer with or without
Fortune's arrows shot
Nobler minds then plot
Ponder rageing about
Verses mortal coil nought
Perchance fair dreams got

We provided enough information
to establish a certain foundation
and formulate an approximation
to predict what the future is bringing

Magnetic reels on the computer spun
flashing lights, buzzing and beeping begun
calculating an electronic sum
but dare we read what dot-matrix's printing



The ochtfochlach is an Irish verse form of 8 lines with a consistent but unspecified length and meter. The rhyme scheme is aaab cccb.

Prompt: FORMULATE PREDICTION

Little Miromiro was tense
from too long sat on the fence
she'd fluttered to and fro
all worried of where to go

while the manuka looked fine
she usually nested in pine
so many options all around
but perfect choice harder found



Miromiro is a NZ native Tomtit

Prompt: “There is a time for departure even when there’s no certain place to go.” – Tennessee Williams

Her arms once cradled me,
while she crooned a lullaby
as her hands stroked my hair

Now I softly knock on her door,
and am welcomed with a smile

I move to hug her where she sits,
her eyes glint with memories,
and we pass some time of day




Prompt: Write a Visit poem

My darker self is never far away
silently attending lurking watching
A stealthy uninvited stowaway
it's a blighted cast, a wretched splotching

However much I turn to face the light
averting both eyes and heart from its sin
That inky shade still shows to all my night
the dark pitch I might trip to tumble in

Hail the lofty, grizzled and mighty redwoods;
standing, towering, powerful and strong.

Their substance cools the air and soothes us,
while their leaves whisper secrets high above:
tickling the sky till it blushes sunset.

Greatness is their reward for enduring.
What sights they must see from their vantage point?

‘I’, the sapling can only imagine.

Frills and ribbons were her desire
for an exquisite wedding dress
Finery her friends would admire,
Fay's aim to make them envious

Fickle fortune then frustrated;
fabric shortages caused upset
Fancy dreams, now understated;
Fay flounced the isle in Flannelette

and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.”

Are your Big foot nails pointy or square,
and how do you look after all that chest hair?

Yeti shrugs, he doesn’t care.

Do you sit on the ground or in a chair,
and after this will you show me your lair?

Yeti sighed and shed a tear

Finally he spoke. He's not into fanfare
“Just take your bloody photo, and I'm outta here.

Within a trembling moment,
the dewdrop hangs
from Ponga frond,
amid the dawn chorus

Its crystal ball is
an inverted viewpoint,
a globe of vast horizons
of an awakening day.
