Supreme Outrage No court for morals sits. It rather quickly quits. And dodges what remits. A staged and righteous cry Averts the need to try. No court would dare deny. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #ethics #opinion #morals

Swaps Left, Right swap stated deeds, Right, Wrong swap moral creeds. And call the swap a stand. To plead for Left or Right Mistakes a mood for right. Preference takes a stand. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #right #wrong #creeds

Domestic Wear We share a common fold, Two souls that share a hold, And watch the lining wear. So close, the hush can speak, A pause that holds critique, And every glance takes air. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #claustrophobia #irritation

Muscle Memory The mind assigns a task, To hands that learn the way, They need no further ask. The latch receives a turn, The handle, tugged to test, But later, doubt will burn. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #memory #automation #routine

Poem It notes each modest find, With care of sober mind, And footnotes set in marge. It queries, then dissects, It notes what time neglects, It holds a quiet charge. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art

Head-Scratcher A finger to the head, where musings go unread, to quell the fretful itch. The pose of one who weighs unquiet thoughts, conveys a pensive little twitch. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #reflex #introspection

Healthy Respect We owe the devil heed, A sober need indeed, To note how frailties breed. He does not force his way, He merely bids you stay, And we incline to stray. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #respect #devil

Iambic The brook keeps steady time. The dawn observes its prime. The thrush’s notes all chime. If quiet holds for long, Its muted pulls prolong, And structure comes along. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #life

No Harm? A falsehood void of name Remains a lie the same, And told too well, brings shame. A charge’s fictive ground Does not excuse the sound Of falsehood newly found. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #falsehood

Restraint Restraint, a staid affair, With hours too blank to spare; Impulse, a heady spice. The mind and craving wage A civil, quiet rage; Where neither claim’s precise. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #restraint #discipline

Unswerving When time was launched, it fled. It chose to move instead. A pause it deemed misled. It would not turn about. It quelled the backward doubt. It shut reversal out. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #time

Book Sense His learning made him blind, To what the heart divined; He left warm bonds unsigned. He has an answer, quick, A polished, ready trick, Yet missing how things tick. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #intellect #clever #understanding

Precariat The hours remain unpaid, And rest is overstayed, A balance quite mislaid. Resilience takes a shift, A second, unpaid drift, A constant, weary lift. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #work

Seemingly Black It claims a humble mien, A cloak of sober sheen, It hides its work with care. Its brief: absorb all rays, In tidy, modest ways, Its file: “Absorbs with flair.” #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #black #race #tribute

Burnished Nation They burnish altar panes, A glint that masks a stain, And keeps the gaze from grain. With solemn bow and hymn, They cloak the ledger’s trim, While rosaries grow dim. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #hypocrisy

True Crime The truth arrives quite late, A rare, belated trait, With offhand, measured freight. The facts remain quite blunt, Accounts can bend and curve, While stories bear the brunt. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #truecrime #truth #facts

Half-truths A note that sticks, half-true, It plays the tune, not pledge, The promise stripped of clue. They speak in civil tones, Each phrase precisely weighed, And leave the rest as loans. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #truth #deceit
