The Sarcastic And Mad Scorpion
The Sarcastic And Mad Scorpion
A Poem by Anonymous
Whose scorpion is that? I think I know.
Its owner is quite sad though.
It really is a tale of woe,
I watch him frown. I cry hello.
He gives his scorpion a shake,
And sobs until the tears make.
The only other sound’s the break,
Of distant waves and birds awake.
The scorpion is sarcastic, mad and deep,
But he has promises to keep,
Until then he shall not sleep.
He lies in bed with ducts that weep.
He rises from his bitter bed,
With thoughts of sadness in his head,
He idolises being dead.
Facing the day with never ending dread.
With thanks to the poet, Robert Frost, for the underlying structure.

Friday Free Verse for #BFFFs – Affair to Remember or Affair to Forget by JayMentor
Affair
Free verse by jay
The fight that’s really lifelong,
Above all others is the fierce feud.
Fatal, famous, fierce feud.
Never forget the long and womb-to-tomb fierce feud.
Pay attention to the real romance,
the real romance is the most sentimental lie of all.
Never forget the schmalzy and emotional real romance.
When I think of the foolish flirtation, I see a secret idea.
A foolish flirtation is footling. a foolish flirtation is elflike,
a foolish flirtation is piddling, however.
Purpose of life and Life of Purpose
- Let’s talk about purpose.
- It’s a word that gets thrown around a lot, and rarely understood. What is purpose? What does it mean to have a life purpose? First of all purpose means that we are devoted to something GREATER than ourselves.
- GREATER than surviving and making money.
- GREATER than looking good to other people.
- Having a purpose means we are connected to something that will last beyond our death.
- Purpose is a force of nature for a worthy cause that makes a real difference in the world – and only we can decide what that is.
- The funny thing is – power of purpose becomes most obvious when we LOSE our PURPOSE.
- We become like ships adrift at sea, unsure of where we are going.
- Without clear purpose, we become susceptible to falling off the path.
- Without a purpose, things seem to stop mattering.
- Nihilism takes hold.
- We begin to make bad choices.
- Who cares if we eat burgers and stop meditating? Nothing matters anyway!
- Who cares if we show up 100% for our family? It’s not a big deal!
- Feel like giving up on the things we are working on? Oh well!
- These are the kind of things that we begin doing when we have lost sight of our purpose.
- And still, when we HAVE PURPOSE, we become much more resilient.
- In fact, it’s been shown that people who have a purpose can sustain much more pain.
- Purpose acts as an analgesic that helps us persevere in the face of difficulty. That’s a complex of way of saying that purpose is a pain killer.
- If we are connected to our purpose – we won’t mind putting in the extra hours of work needed to get things handled.
- If we have a purpose, we won’t be thrown off by a little argument or someone being rude to us – because we are connected to that higher purpose and the small stuff doesn’t matter.
- Knowing our purpose – and letting it inspire usf to the greatest heights of your potential.

Lost love is not little
Lost love is not little
Free verse by jay
An agreeable acquaintanceship, however hard it tries,
Will always be superficial.
Agreeable acquaintanceship.
Now profound is just the thing,
To get me wondering if the agreeable acquaintanceship is ostensible.
I saw the the mutual friendliness of my generation destroyed,
How I mourned the cheerful cordiality.
Now reciprocal is just the thing,
To get me wondering if the cheerful cordiality is common.
Just like matrilineal treaties, is kinship.
Bubble.
Why are they so little?
The lost love is not little!
the lost love is exceptionally bragging.
Now conspicuous is just the thing,
To get me wondering if the lost love is bragging.
Friend and Frenemies
Friendship
Free verse by jay
One afternoon I said to myself,
“Why isn’t the agreeable acquaintanceship more profound?”
Never forget the skin-deep and shallow agreeable acquaintanceship.
A charming cordiality, however hard it tries,
Will always be mutual.
Does the charming cordiality make you shiver?
does it?
Pay attention to the kinship,
kinship are the most wooly relation of all.
Are you upset by how wooly-minded they are?
Does it tear you apart to see the kinship so hirsute?
Why would you think the lost love is fatless?
the lost love is the most fat lover of all.
Never forget the fattish and portly lost love.

Pay attention to the dramatization,

Drama
Free verse by jay
Tearjerkers, however hard they try,
Will always be rhetorician speakers.
Do tearjerkers make you shiver?
do they?
Dramatization, however hard they try,
Will always be pantomimic.
Does dramatization make you shiver?

When I think of saga, I see a tragic story.
Never forget the muddled and wooly-minded saga.
Mind is a good servant, but a bad master!
