Saturday, February 18, 2017

The full moons have names
Proclaiming season and month
Whispering poems

The "Blogging Circle of Friends "  50/50 prompt
The song "Sign O' The Times" was released by Prince on this day in 1987. And in 1992 - Vince Neil quit as lead singer of Motley Crue. After 11 years with the group, he says he wants to spend more time on his career as a race car driver. Using Sign O'The Times, Prince, Motley Crue, and race car write a poem or short story on this beautifully creative Saturday.
Creating a masterpiece today will cost 2000gps....

Sign O'The Times

It's a A Sign O'The Times,
the full Snow Moon
frowning
upon the planet
foretelling
thermometer shattering
winter storms,
hunger
and long nights huddled
in front of an open fire.

It's a Sign O'The Times,
the Prince of Thieves regretting
his crimes
kneels before the alter of salvation
begging forgiveness.

It's a Sign O'The Times,
a Motley Crue
usurping the thrones of power
proclaim themselves
Emperors
of the universe.

It's a Sign O'The Times,
robots
become race car drivers
relegating both the native born
and immigrants
to working in the pits.
