As Above, So Below


As above

Goes the
old gnostic adage
as the sun knows
even the sky
is not the limit.

“As the sun knows, even the sky is not the limit.” ~ Rasheed Ogunlaru



Sam the Bully child


Sam was a naughty child
A real Dennis the Menace
Kind of child.
With frantic AHD energy.
And a violent temperament.
He grew up to become a bully
Later a perfect
Trumpian politician.



USE THE ABOVE QUOTE AS INSPIRATION FOR YOUR POEM.

Eat Me

“Eat me"

One day,Sam,was rooting
Around his refrigerator
And saw something strange
A little box with a label
“Eat me and see the world.”
He opened the package
Ate the chocolate
And disappeared for good.

Close Encounter with ICE


One day
I looked out the window
On Capitol Hill
And saw four armed masked men
Tackling someone to the ground
I ran outside to talk with the ICE goons
They demanded my ID, then tased me
And arrested me for obstruction of justice.

WRITE A POEM ABOUT SOMETHING UNPLEASANT YOU
