The Audacity of Idiocy

Idiots!
Surrounded by blithering idiots!
Idiotic ignorant, clueless, uninformed idiots!
Unaware of the idiocy
Brought on by piteous
Pity-
None that I have for for them
No mercy
No patience
Not grasping
The fullness of their futility
Lack of utility

They can not see
What can be seen
By others and me
Simple concepts comprehended by
A child of age four or five,
Able to realize
Lies
Born out of stupidity

Is idiocy
To be pitied?
Shall it be allowed another chance
To frustrate
Aggravate
This mind of mine
How many times
Shall I be spun in circles
Told multiple answers
To ignored questions?
Or nothing at all?

Nothing
By incompetent ones
Unaware
Of their
Lack of competence
Confidence
Lacking,
Congruent to the equation of:
Nothing-
From nothing-
Leaves= NOTHING.

For shame!
For shame!
No brain
No time
To decide
Or find
More questionable
Answers
To multiple questions
Still unanswered!

Tanka Times Four

1.
I would say, tonight
Was absolutely that best
Time I've had, since the
Drum circle season ended
Last month, during November!

2.
Inspired am I
By the words which were spoken
Tonight, at the group
Gathering. Sharing my work
Has renewed my energy

3.
The Sestine must be
Finished, putting a lot of
Time into it, though
Difficult, I'm finding the
Challenge well worth the effort!

4.
The Tanka is new
Yet similar in rhythm
To its first cousin
The old Japanese haiku
Combine the two together

The Dawning of Dusk

Seeing the sunset on the horizon
I gaze
Toward, then away
From the lit sky.
Pink, orange, blue,
Hues
Engulf the atmosphere's air
Beckoning nightfall.

The dawn of dusk lingers
'Til there's nothing more
But to wait for
The blanket of darkness
To unfold
Smoky clouds of charcoal
Grey
Descending
To the ending
Of day.
