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

Stare Decisis Though reason deems it right That earth should orbit, sight Confirms the sun’s old light. The common view pretends The earth in motion, friends With stare decisis’ ends. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #reason #law #earth #sunrise #sun

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

Peerless Remains The martyr’s final plea No audit comes to see Hagiographies prompt. Posterity’s review No argument’s debut Is ever thus exempt. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #martyr

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

Nothing Here Your swift denial speaks A truth it never seeks And still the outline leaks. The truth does not insist; Denial, though, persist; It will not be dismissed. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #truth #denial

Unlisted Its files are classified, All queries are denied, And never verified. Its forwarding address Remains a clever guess And no postcode to press. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #faith #heaven

Blue Tick No server logs attest, No satellite request, No fibre-optic test. No blue tick verifies, No cached divine replies, Just faith-based alibis. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #faith #heaven

Sovereign Soul With gentle sovereignty, A firm, composed domain, With inner music’s strain. One’s inner air, though still, Commands with quiet will; No outward noise can chill. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #soul #music

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

Soft Power A donor’s soft campaign, The pilfered wealth is sane Beneath a pious reign. The flags were merely changed, The former ways, arranged, But nothing else estranged. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #power #altruism

Cry Wolf A constant cry of threat Inculcates mild forget, The civil shrug’s defence. When bells resound all day, They toll for none’s dismay, A quiet, measured sense. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #alarms #alarmbells #apathy

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

Arrears The air, for now, is lent. Each breath a sum misspent. A debt we’ve never spent. The air is gratis now. The bill comes due somehow. Our grandchildren will bow. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #environment #climate #air

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

Active Void Reflecting upon naught Engages scholar's thought A modest trade for naught. A blank is seldom bare, It brings a certain care, A crowd of needs is there. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art

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

Never Disowned It’s dated, people said, Now serves as fig-leaf spread For words once sharp and dread. The label “dated” serves To keep what none preserves And old contempt unswerves. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #slur #prejudice #cruelty

Volition Choice, a polite conceit, the brain, on clement days, allows—willpower’s feat. This quiet diplomat negotiates with grace, and seldom shows its face. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #willpower #choice

Tomorrow’s Book The foreword, soft and terse, Apologising verse, A polished, brief reverse. The final page, a list Of matters left in mist, That no resolve has kissed. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #future #tomorrow #book

Indifference A solo voice ascends; One patron takes a seat. No second ear attends. The polite coughs will serve To keep the constant hum. Indifference preserves. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #inequality #indifference
