A Rumbling

There’s a rumbling down the alley.

A low and earthy moan.

Some kind of monstrosity,

Has risen from its’ tomb.

There is no use in running;

They will all feed tonight.

Your only choice is fighting,

Until the dawn brings light.

Death of a PC

I write this with my thumbs.

On a small touch-screen device.

I’m feeling rather glum;

My PC met demise.

I think it overheated,

My GPU got burnt.

The Mobo was defeated,

Reduced to sparking dirt.

New Adventures

Take a seat up at the helm.

It’s time to go exploring.

A strange, mysterious new realm.

We really must be going.

A journey long and fraught with peril,

Monstrous walkways wide and narrow.

Beasts with claws and sharp, long fangs,

Stalk us in the night.

In packs they seek to feed their gang,

There is no room for fright.

It’s dangerous to go alone,

You must bring something with you.

A deadly weapon should be worn,

With a comrade beside you.

May

“Tis the first day of May!”

We’re excited to say.

Meaning that Summer is coming this way!

Just a short delay away,

From swimming, lounging and playing all day.

Fireworks will be watched and displayed,

Budding romances, the weather will sway.

Children all savoring their three months of play.

Students and graduates all shouting “Hooray!”

So let’s all enjoy this fine month of May.

BBQ

Get some coal, it’s time to grill!

Yes, charcoal, you know the drill!

Set ablaze with fuel for flame.

Piping hot, the coals became.

Slabs of steak and chicken,

Dry-rubbed or marinated.

Hunger leaves us stricken;

We must be satiated.

While we’re at it, let’s throw in some drinks and awesome weather.

Invite your friends and family to enjoy this feast together.

Open Mic

I’m going to a café tonight,

Located in downtown Renton.

I’ve always had a mild case of stage fright,

But this time will be different.

The patrons there are all taking part,

Either listening to, or speaking, their art.

Therefore, I am excited to share, speaking aloud from the heart.

Crush

There was a time, not long ago.

A decade now? Yeah, maybe so.

It started with a gallery;

A Deviant directory.

Expressive strokes of pen and brush,

Lead me to my first real crush.

Captivated by her style;

I couldn’t help but gaze and smile.

I had my hopes of meeting her,

Like most folks would, I’m guessing.

She was half the world away, however,

Dissuading me from trying.

We talked a bit through online means,

Discussing art and such.

We flirted but unfortunately,

She did not share my crush.

Rejection stung but only slightly,

Seemingly overpowered

By the pride I felt inside of me;

The down side, overshadowed.

Virtual

As we venture through the wilds,

Of games and entertainment;

Stories, books and movie files,

The coding rather potent.

Reality is what we deem the world to be around us.

When merging with the virtual, what’s real becomes ambiguous.

What this means is hard to say.

Just keep an eye out, would you?

I’m sure there will be crooks who may,

Use that tool against you.

Separation

Technology has given us the means of computation.

We socialize and criticize through teams and corporations.

Playing games or sharing thoughts with folks from other nations,

Emphasizing the great strength of telecommunications.

This is all grand, but personally I’m of the inclination,

This machinery, though profound, causes separation.

Keep in mind when reading this, or browsing other sites,

The world is blocked behind a screen, so take a break sometimes. ^_^

Simplicity

Resting in a field of green,

The grass is soft and warm.

I feel the breeze caress my skin;

Encompassing my form.

I close my eyes and listen,

To the symphony of sounds,

The wind has nicely given,

Gusting all around.
