Here's my take on the #local #PoetsOfDoom challenge. I wanted to capture the Keep Portland Weird vibe. This is a real place in Portland, Oregon. See alt text for an explanation. #Poem #Poetry #WritingCommunity #BlueskyPoets #PoetsOfBluesky #KeepPortlandWeird #Portland #PDX @jenthorne.bsky.social
Rimsky-Korsakoffee House is a late-night dessert and coffee house inside an old craftsman home in Portland, Oregon. It has a haunted reputation, motorized trick tables named after composers, a piano where people frequently play classical and jazz pieces, quirky drinks, desserts, and decor, and of course the infamous Erik Satie under the-sea surrealist bathroom that everyone is always asking how to get to. For anyone wondering, Five Zero Trees is the name of an Oregon cannabis dispensary that plays off of Portland’s area code, 503.

Portland’s unofficial slogan is “Keep Portland Weird”, and I couldn’t think of a better way to show that than to take the reader right into the heart of it, to one of my favorite places. 

Rimsky-Korsakoffee House

I sit and play Rachmaninoff 
While tables spin and dance
Someone swears they saw a ghost
Another’s mending pants
You leave to pee in waters deep
Thanks, Ambigui-Tea
Our other friend has stepped outside
To vape Five Zero Trees 
Someone orders Ships In Pieces
Drizzled with hot fudge
Another slurps Rasputin’s Vice
Who am I to judge?
My favorite, Chocolate Pot de Creme 
Waits by your Berry Fool
While upstairs there’s a sweet old man
Kayaking in the pool 
How to get there? Glad you asked
I’m happy to oblige
Go past the swinging jester
And the walls of leering eyes
Don’t be afraid, you’re sure to find
The bathroom we hold dear
Inside this kooky koffee house,
The depths of Portland’s weird

Not surprised. #MyDialect
A map of the United States from the full test on mydialect.us, showing dialect similarity on a color gradient from blue ("Least like you") to red ("Most like you"). The west coast of the US is the most red, with the western half of the US in varying shades of red. The test said that I talk most like someone from Washington. My most similar cities are Seattle, WA, Portland, OR, and San Francisco, CA. The east coast is shown in shades of blue, with my least similar cities being New Orleans, LA, Atlanta, GA, and Boston, MA.

Here’s my attempt at #12Lines, this week’s #PromptCombo. #Poetry #PoetryCommunity @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social
Polestruck

He’s a fixture on the corner of Hawthorne
Rain-eaten flyers tacked to his coat
    Free vacuum with every Cruiser’s car wash
    Oyster happy hour at OK Omens
I stare, polestruck
Someone pins another flyer to his shoulder
    Lost cat, answers to the name Gilligan
He tips his hat in sympathetic resonance
No jar full of coins, no cardboard sign
I keep trying to figure him out but—
He’s not a hole in the shape of anything missing
He’s art

I had to squeeze one more parody in. 😅 Here's my #diamond poem/parody for #PoetsOfDoom, set to the tune of “Blue (Da Ba Dee)” by Eiffel 65. #Poem #Poetry #Parody #BlueskyPoets #WritingCommunity #PoetsofBluesky @sonnetsmith.bsky.social
Yo
listen up
here's the story
about a big AI that lives in
a server and all day and all night
and everything it spews is just lifelike
sim, bland, algorithmic, plastic slop with a 
few extra fingers and some crooked teeth and
everything is slightly off and bizarre in every image
it makes ‘cause it ain’t from a real human being
it’s eerie, HAL 9000 sci-fi, these data centers
building up the motherfucking AI, they’re
gonna trash the planet, animals
are going to fry and all the
water will be wasted
tell the froggies
g’bye

Here’s my fourth #parody for #PoetsOfDoom, set to the tune of “Someday” by Sugar Ray. Safeway is a grocery store in the US (and also where I heard this song and got the idea). 😄 #MisheardLyrics #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoets @daveashleypoet.bsky.social
Safeway

Safeway
In the soup aisle passing by
I spot a tall, dark, handsome guy
Will he even notice me?
Safeway
In a blink, he has passed me by
I turn around for another try
But what to say?

I meet his eyes and I go “Hey there”
I smile warm and flip my hair 
I flirt with him deep in aisle three
All in my mind, just a fantasy

Safeway
Next time I will make my play
If I can just be brave and say
“Can you reach that jar for me?”
Safeway
As he goes to stand in line
I fantasize of another time
And drift away
And drift awayI close my eyes and I take us there
In aisle four, by the Gruyère 
We share suggestions and recipes
Our fingers touch when we reach for Brie

Every time I wait too long
Every time I get it wrong
Now another chance is gone
Stuck inside my head too long

Goodbye, so long
He drives away
So shy, solo
Here in Safeway
Safeway, Safeway

Safeway
Sometimes I just want to cry
Too terrified to even try
Is there any hope for me?
Safeway
In the aisles, people pass me by
I spot a cute guy in aisle five
And drift away
And drift away
And drift away

Here’s my third entry for #PoetsOfDoom. A #parody of “Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours)” by Stevie Wonder. 👠 #MisheardLyrics #poem #poetry #PoetryCommunity #BlueskyPoets @daveashleypoet.bsky.social
Sky High Stilettos No More

Like a fool, I chose my footwear wrong
Now I'm cripplin’ through this upbeat song
Oo, crazy, dancin’ in
Sky high stilettos, I’m sore
On the floor, I bitch and moan, “Oh, why?”
Hurt my back, high heels gon’ make me cry
Oo, crazy, dancin’ in
Sky high stilettos, I’m sore! Ahhh!

Screamin’ like crazy
Sky high stilettos, I’m sore
(My feet are beggin’ me to stop)
Burnin’ like crazy
Sky high stilettos, I’m sore
(Got seven blisters ‘bout to pop)

I've worn a lot of foolish shoes
Unforgiving and obscene
Aye, yeah, yeah, haven’t I?

Worn some wicked heels in this cruel world
When I wear them they just hurt me, girl
Oo, baby, stuck in these
Sky high stilettos, I’m sore (ahhh, so sore)Oowee baby, they set my soles on fire
Just rip these devils off, my only desire
Oo, baby, there we go…
Sky high stilettos no more! Ahhh!

Now I dance barefoot
High fashion, high off the floor
(I’ve got these killers in my hands, baby)
Rockin’ this fierce look
Torture devices no more
(I’ve got a dagger in each hand, baby, yeah)

I've worn a lot of foolish shoes
Unforgiving and obscene 
I just couldn’t break ‘em in
But now I’m… Ahhh!
Free to groove now
Tore these off me, baby

High heels o’ horror no more
Killin’ it barefoot
Sky high stilettos no more

Here’s another for #PoetsOfDoom. A #parody of “Tenderly” as sung by Nat King Cole. 🐝 #MisheardLyrics #Poem #Poetry #BlueskyPoets #PoetsOfBluesky @daveashleypoet.bsky.social
Eventually 

The angry bees
Stung both my knees
Viciously
My throbbing knees
Swelled up like trees
Rapidly

We floored your car
Straight to the ER
Then last in the line were we  

My airway closed
Triage moved so
Sluggishly
No time to spare
I begged for care
Breathlessly

Their eyes opened wide
They rushed me inside

They jabbed my thigh
They saved my life

Eventually

I’m having a ton of fun with this prompt. Here’s my parody of Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk.” Original song in the comments. 😄 #PoetsOfDoom #MisheardLyrics #Poetry #Poem #PoetryCommunity #Parody #Humor @daveashleypoet.bsky.social
Uptown Junk
(A parody of Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk”)

Thrift stores, them Goodwills
St. Vinny's for that cheap thrill
Thrift stores for them bargains
Them rare finds, them masterpieces
Stylin', divin', buyin' my 'fit for three fiddy
Got used Chucks for a couple bucks
Gotta love myself, I'm so thrifty

So cheap (hot damn)
Fill my cart up to the top with it
It's so cheap (half price)
Make a livin' selling the primo, man
On eBay (A+)
Click my store, you'll see what I sell
Still cheap (that's right)
'Cause I'm all 'bout that flippin', clear it out

Girls hit your local thrift store
Guys hit your local thrift store
Go hit your local thrift store
'Cause uptown junk gon' give it to you
'Cause uptown junk gon' give it to you
'Cause uptown junk gon' give it to you
Half price night and we in the fight
Don't believe me, just shop, come on
Stop
Wait a minute
Fill my cart, put some wicker in it
Take a whiff, do a check
Doesn't work, super sketch
Check the jewelry, all the art,
Antiques, and the purses
If we look close, we gon' find gold
Or maybe just a doll full o' curses

I'm so cheap (half off)
I can bargain with the best of them
I'm too cheap (that's right)
I am never gonna stop thriftin', man
I'm on fire (online, in stores)
Girl, check my name you know who I am
I'm so cheap (for life)
'Cause I like to keep my money
Break it down

Girls hit your local thrift store
Guys hit your local thrift store
Go hit your local thrift store
'Cause uptown junk gon' give it to you
'Cause uptown junk gon' give it to you
'Cause uptown junk gon' give it to you
Half price night and we in the fight
Don't believe me, just shop

The Spell

Words fail, so I turn to song
Hands play what a pen can’t spell
Eighty-eight notes without words

I weave a story beyond words
A battered life replayed as song
The room grows still, caught in my spell

Our weary hearts meet for a spell
Leaning in, no need for words
We hold each other in this song

Held in this song, a spell without words

My metal detector sweeps back and forth through the rising coastal fog, its steady rhythm slowing my breath. I haven't found much-just a couple of bottle caps and a crusty dime. I look up and pause. My feet sink into the cool, wet sand. The world has disappeared.

Seeking treasure
Along the coastline
It finds me

What is going on here? No one really knows. Here's a rather silly one about a few odd toes. #JumbledJuly #poem @daveashleypoet.bsky.social
What the

What the hell is going on,
Does anybody know?
I couldn't really concentrate,
Was staring at my toe.
It leans a little crooked—
Hmm, what's up with that?
And compared to all the others,
It's kind of plump and fat.
What was that you're saying?
I should be looking close?
What am I supposed to see?
That zit upon your nose?
What are you referring to?
And why is there a rat?
And why is there a mummy of
A saber-toothed big cat?
Kitty has a weird toe too-
It looks like one too many.
That cat should really have a name;
I think I'll call him Lenny.
What? I didn't raise my hand...
Oh crap, don't call on me.
Are you asking for my thoughts
On cat biology?
You know you have a weird toe too,
It's bulging out your shoe.
Ding-a-ling, I'm out the door...
Wait, when's the homework due?

Rain at Last

Ash is heavy on the breeze
The skies are swelling black
Rain at last falls through the trees

Summer fires, a new disease
A rash in fierce attack
Ash is heavy on the breeze

A mountain brought down to its knees
Fire on its back
Rain at last falls through the trees

A cool relief to soothe and please
The fever starts to slack
Ash is heavy on the breeze

Silver drops heal by degrees
The charred and blistered wrack
Rain at last falls through the trees

A wash of blue to bring some ease
Green will heal the lack
Ash is heavy on the breeze
Rain at last falls through the trees

A lush garden full of a variety of sunlit summer flowers, including pink echinacea flowers, white daisies, and red roses. A honeybee is landing on one of the central pink flowers. The background is softly blurred, showing a rich tapestry of green foliage and smaller pink, red, and yellow blossoms stretching into the distance. Photo credit: me
