lazy saturday morning
eyelids heavy
nuzzling under
down comforters
extracting one last
rebellious wintery snooze
it's my turn for breakfast in bed
freshly brewed coffee
banana pancakes
smothered in love
...and maple syrup!

i threw a few rocks
we bulldozed a few houses
Our Holy City?
Apocalypse Now? Seems the party's of God on all sides are too miserable with life in the present and would rather bring about some Stone Age prophecy with 21 century weapons!

morning frost
sparkling in the sun
drops of dew
This is a variant on the Lune - 9 words/11 syllables to communicate transition from night to day cold to warmth with utter minimalism.

enough
of your merciful
God/s
in whose name
you wreak
havoc and homicide
on a world paralyzed
by fear!
i  have tolerated
your intolerance
long enough
and i fear not
you God fearing
violence peddling
hate mongers
who find
no peace in peace
even if it were
predestined!

rise above
your tribe
primate!

a "surgical strike"
revenge retaliating
children watch and learn

lust driven
sin-onyms
heartwarming
antonyms
where truth is
semantical
and lies
dialectical
and fine double
negatives
are asynctactically
superlative
Pedants Gone Wild!
