He loved correcting grammar
His eyebrows always shocked
And never missed a second
Resetting every clock.
More worthy than the next man
Such a perfect man
Oblivious to rolling eyes
Himself his only fan
He’d never ‘get’ the punchline
‘Cuz Aaron IS the joke.

Rising at dawn,
Breathing in peacefulness,
Your thankful habit
Of poignant pause.
In vital company of
One moment wholly natural.
-Alertness alive-
Everything greeting nothing.
Nebulous doubts of
Reward obscured by honesty,
Fortune occupies the morning.
Where tepid souls awaken
To all things possible.

Whatever type of poem you choose, make it exactly 44 words, and slip some form of the word type in there.
Elmer found a lady,
Above all trendy hype.
SO Purty!
…just his type
She never took to gossip
Cooked his favorite, tripe.
Loved a-huntin’
…just his type
Wouldn’t say he loved her.
Man, he always griped!
She vanished all a-sudden.
Figured she got swiped.

Here’s how to join in:
The word “static” originates from the Greek word “Statlike” (to bring to standstill or a state of no movement). You can use derivatives such as statical, statically, electrostatic or create an original hyphenation. Dabble with the effects of static in space, physics, nature, relationships, society or yourself,
with whatever definition you choose.
Here’s how to join in:
Kitten Petting
Rubbing my kitten to and fro,
We love each other; this I know.
She hunches her spine.
A soft motor-like purr.
She rolls her green eyes.
Kneading claws spur.
A static shock!
On wetted nose,
A spark of white light,
And off she goes!

Tag Sale Lament
‘Leftovers’
In a box… the ‘overlooked’
among the ‘unwanted’, lay in decay.
Once treasured enough to fold and ruin.
Crippled rippled bindings grip
read-worn powdery pages.
Within lives an enduring tale.
But material tours don’t last forever.
One dump-defying last chance …
Paperbacks For Free.

Add the word or form of the word, nibble to your poem of 44 words, not including the title.
Freedom’s eaten neither by gluttonous grabs,
Nor in mouthfuls,
But in nibbles.
Prosperity sinks neither by tsunami waves.
Nor in waterfalls,
But in dribbles.
Peace dies neither by storming troops,
Nor in conflicts,
But from quibbles.
All mighty timbers must watch out for gribbles.

gribble (NOUN)
I'm nobody! who are you? Are you nobody too, then there's a pair of us. Don't tell! they'd advertise you know. How dreary-to be somebody. How public-like a frog. To tell one's name-the livelong June, to an admiring bog. Poem by Emily Dickinson.
