It was a mistake
but not the glaring kind

This was an error of omission

Not doing
what should have been done

We won't get immediate
push back feed back

Just the disgruntled #murmurs
of the pissed off
disillusioned chorus
shaking their heads
in collective disgust

#FromOneLine #vss365 #poetry #poem

It was a mistake
to elect such a thin skinned
overly sensitive narcissist
who lacks the self discipline
and emotional maturity
not to #stoop to vulgarity
responding to moronic hecklers

This petty little man
is a national embarrassment

#vss365 #fromoneline #poetry #poem

It was a mistake
compounded daily
as our nightmares stacked high
piercing the indifferent sky
all the way
to the dark void
of the vast expanse of space

We woke to snow
which was mighty bizarre
considering it was July
in the midst of a heat wave

Meteorologists debated
if the out of place flakes
were artificially created
or if this was just
another nonsensical
reality denying #poem
crafted to fit
a poetic climate prompt

#fromoneline #inkmine #poetry

We woke to snow
that painted our landscape
formerly gray
the color of pristine white
though we all knew
when the thermal winds blew
this precarious illusion
would invariably melt
to liberate the insidious slush
of our former grim reality

#fromoneline #inkmine #poetry #poem

We woke to snow
of depth undetermined
and duration a mystery
since power was out
leaving communications dubious and in doubt

This #spooked the populace
who struggle with uncertainty
that storms bring

Fear ain't always a bad thing
when it breaks up
the Winter's monotony
so cold and relentless

#vss365 #fromoneline #poetry #poem

This would be the line
they forewarned us about
that we dare not cross

Those warning bells
we paid no mind to
would be the last sound we hear
before meeting Consequence
prior to the crash
that would smash
careless
oblivious us

#fromoneline #inkmine #poetry #poem

This would be the line
I will not let you cross
The art of logic's war
I have no use for

No lengthy interaction
I will have with you
Can ever change that
I have learnt my lesson

When there were clouds
solar warmth decreased
the winds turned blustery
and insulation became
a practical necessity

Those wrapped in denial
kept to the old temperate ways
and fought the new reality
that was unrelenting
in its march toward frigid finality
