graveyard games  (  a  t r u e  t r u t h – t h i n g  )



we used to play games

in the graveyard


like where here lies

the oldest grave

jolt poem

via Daily Prompt: Jolt

Jolt

(  j o l t  p o e m  )


jolt to a start

yes jolt out them vaults

flare your nostrils

& sweat like a colt

feel these jumpleads

energy - many volts

the buzz, the hum 

( & )

the whirr of the waltz



jolt for your salt

with chopped skipping hops

jolt out of bed

then nip down yon shops

fuelled by sweet tea

& too much fizzy pop

overdo it then

( oh )

jolt to a stop
