Barricade
desk to door
chairs piled high
curtains drawn
malicious grin
creasing face
one who claims
despot
as true title of rule.
Domineering
loud
uncouth
drooling dolt
sycophants
yes men
wiping away
propping up
illusion of love
fantasy of grandeur
battle lines drawn
such a sore loser.
Tiny toy pistol
waving plastic saber
thumb sucking
wailing
feet stomping
on your back
like a turtle
unable to get up.
watched with amazement
rooms
far
wide
bet you did not know
your office was bugged.

sometimes you get a really image and just go off like a literary rocket dont you. I love it when that happens.

Absolutely. I am very lucky to find pics that convey the meaning. Or find words when I find a riveting photo.

I often take a prompt word and go pic-hunting before writing it can really help get the creativity flowing.

Usually I write poem first and then look for photo. I have a collections though on Pinterest of pictures I have liked and saved for inspiration

That smart, having collections. I never got to like pinterest so my account sits pretty well empty in there. Pixabay is my place for photos unless one of my own works.

I also use it to post my writing too. Which also allows me to circumvent FB who considers my poetry to be against their community standards. Lol

I hate FB if I didn’t have a couple of good friends there and on Twitter I’d probably get shot of both of them. Glad you have a way to share your beautiful poetry though,

Thank you for your comment about my poetry. I wish I could leave FB but it is the only way I have to connect and see friends from states or across Canada. So I use it to my advantage. 😁

You’re welcome. And I agree for the sake of friends and family we have to use those services.

Wish that there was another platform that we could use as opposed to FB. I do not use Twitter at all. Nor do I intend to. Ever.
