MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Writers Beware!’

touch of sadness
what a madness
gullible no brain
let me explain

got a surprise email
written with all the detail
‘we will feature your book’
swallowed with a hook

her pen name Sherry
sounded bit too merry
writing style really kind
to influence weak mind

sweetness builds connection
on a closer inspection
concealed until the very last
send me your money fast

bank account of a dark name
to get the scammer now my game
the face behind the bank details
i pray their scheme soon fails

the story doesn’t end
Sherry is now my friend
the real Sherry I found
the scammer is still around

pretender behind a real face
on fraud report i made a case
warning to all you guys
beware of sweet AI lies

MIDNIGHT POETRY- ‘Unearthed’

tangled words
out the throat
only wheezing
escapes

jammed in the
narrow passage
all letters of the
alphabet

blunt or sharp
like a spear
a pen with
no ink

leap into
the unknown
fear aside
inhale

a tale about
raw diamonds
yearning to be
discovered
…shine

Medium Found!

I stumbled across Medium!
Are you familiar with Medium?
Am I the last one to find it?

After some reading and video watching
I have a miniature idea about its use
Would love to hear your thoughts

Do you write or read on it?
Is it worth your time?
Is it the next best thing
After fresh sourdough bread?

I got as far as creating my profile
And posted one article
Speak to me friends…

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘The Book Within’

Done after long time
Lot of mental sweat
Feel it in the belly
The heart is glad

When you see it
In its full glory
You might think
You have a story

All the bells and whistles
Paperback or hardcover
Always few mistakes
Too late to discover

Choice of many options
Distribution or the shelf
When you want to publish
Search with Google’s help

Brick and mortar stores
Don’t know your existence
Besides poems and some essays
What is needed is persistence

Muster some courage
Knock on few doors
When they say no thanks
Go to the top floors

Say no to failure
Write a punch line
Get friends and family
To praise it online

Give them an eBook
Twitter Fb Insta Pint
Makes you large following
No need to print
