2.5281 : 10/18/19 : Sunrise

Sunrise

not even planned

one interval

deciduous

fall side

spanned

Soon give over

to utter dark

and the days

of desperately

trying to shelter

the spark

what

2.5222 : 8/20/19 : Sparks (The Experiment: 57/100)

Stand back and let me think

every once and a while

I'll create some sparks

I've got a serious puzzle to solve

it's not just wordplay

no time for larks

clench my fists, screw up my eyes

shake a little like

my tongue pokes out

Don't interrupt me don't make a sound

Don't break in to to ask me

What I'm thinking about

Putting it together the lock the light

the season the stone

a promise long deferred

keep searching somewhere a

lock a box

there is a treasure to balance

every loss incurred

what

2.5202 : 7/31/19 : Challenge Phase (The Experiment: 37/100)

Real challenge phase

gets its mark

call that a challenge

boy must lack spark

don't judge me

I'm still afflicted

and I've plenty of ways yet

go get it contradicted

what

2.5145 : 6/4/19 : Crank

Sure I'm a

crank

well I

want one

to turn it

up

well I'm

a blunt one

look from

here

the scene

spells doom

Somewhere

in the clockwork

hope like hell

some spark

goes boom

what

2.5052 : 3/3/19 : The Guy

The thing about

the guy

tragic

high

as the sky

What do we

make

of this hero

arc

and will he

maintain

the spark

what

2.4978 : 12/19/18 : Bitter Middle

I'm sticking this out

to the bitter middle

You know I'm high

king of

the jot and dittle

this old philosopher

stargazer bard

Start striking sparks

While I warm up

my fiddle

what

2.4889 : 9/21/18 : Leaves

Like leaves

a'turning green

sure thought that fall

would turn to spring

didn't foresee winter

fell so dark

but here I am

here still the spark

what

2.4872 : 9/4/18 : Symmetry

Already tripped up

all my pretty symmetry

Sure won't string along

thing thing indefinitely

pass down and crown

some last hour

try to feel the spark ghost

of a long lost power

what

2.4864 : 8/27/18 : Stand Out

Search for one thing

that stands out

whole lot of is this

what it's all about

hooked in again

the old hoist and haul

and all the old fantasies

flicker and pall

high above the

earthly sphere

the spark snuffer flies

maybe far maybe near

and straining for an echo

of that good sound

maybe something will stand out

next go around

what

2.4786 : 6/10/18 : Lease

just try to find

the spark of hope

maybe like a

periscope

glance above

this turbid swamp

far away from

glitz and pomp

seems so simple

as you say

only love

not fade away

only grant

a rest of peace

one more step on

in this brief lease

what

2.4745 : 4/30/18 : A Bird

Maybe not a spark

or a shaft of light

maybe not a surge

in a spot so tight

Maybe it's stunned

and tiny: a bird

and the last thing it needs

is for me to say a word

a little sustenance

a little tlc

I know its destiny

to fly away from me

do I follow it then

or live off the memory

learn the lesson

it ain't all about me

what

2.4601 : 12/07/17 : The Hedge

Don't want to think

about the big dark

don't want to think

about the small spark

don't want to

drag this to the edge

hang the fiddle up

and jump the hedge

what

2.4544 : 10/11/17 : The Chunks

Wrong calling

all about

mixing up the chunks

nothing unfamiliar

these days

no room for

the punks

With hearts on sleeves

precious snowflake

chorus arcs

where the hell do we

put them all

erupting rhymes

and throwing sparks?

what

2.4426 : 6/15/17 : Love Is the Light that Smashes Darkness

Love is the light that

smashes darkness

love is the hollering bell

Love is the lasso

of truth and kindness

the only escape in

this sort of hell

forever they tell you

it fails and falters

they tell you it won't

pay the bills

but love is the light

that smashes darkness

the spark at the heart

of the billions' wills

what

2.4270 : 1/10/17 : A Husk

Tried to stop asking

for lights on the way

for mystic unmasking

and a better day

but the spark won't quit kindling

getting burned to a husk

though the light seems dwindling

and I fear eternal dusk

maybe I knew at the center

I could not stop all hope

for a new sign saying enter

through days I merely cope

don't know if I'm living through

or just marking ticks

a box of days to give you

and me still kicking at the pricks

what

2.4225 : 11/26/16 : Dope

This apperitif is straight dope

tighten up the paper

On your airplane wings

and hope

You never strike a spark

descend the flaming

angel, hark

after such a vision

where to land

open the car window

cruise an airplane hand

no idea how I got here

Where this highway leads

finish your dope

and mind these reeds

what

2.4221 : 11/22/16 : Free World

Free world

don't squander it

free to roam

free to ponder it

entropy is real

best to fear it

talk of a free lunch

I won't hear it

here to enjoy

here to make a mark

here to start something

here to strike a spark

in our beautiful free world

watch the fires you start

better start acting like you mean it

better start acting smart

what

2.4196 : 10/28/16 : Concentration

Should have studied

distillation

can't get

enough

concentration

the potency

the solvency

lines define

the golden ration

the essence that

the spark defines

the legacy of

burned wines

but I didn't study

that spirit nation

and now must battle

dissipation

what

2.4151 : 9/13/16 : Fey as Fuck

Naw it leans

way farther back

flying

fey as fuck

not a spark

of

planned attack

one hundred

percent luck

what

2.4148 : 9/10/16 : Catch Fire

Will any of it catch fire

it all seemed such a dry pyre

not now

wet sog

Feeling so often

a dumb slog

still feel a spark in me

some callback to all

hark and free

maybe just a fool

to tales in books

this dust world

travails and crooks

What else

Keep the little stick spinning

no spark yet

but sing loud

like I'm winning

what
