Stingrays
Nonsense poem
Boxes of black, yellow-grey.
Nevertheless, the facts of today.
Shred the paper. Burn the files.
Light the spark.
Ignite the fire.
Restart.
Apple falls far from the tree,
Sighting the forest.
The delicacy.
And reacting to rounded glassâŚ
Perhaps attract. React!
The lenses retract.
Like sharks in the ocean.
And wolfs in a pack.
Asking âGood questionsâ
Committed and inventive.
To create stories,
There`s risk â there`s incentive.
And a loss that is never gained.
Blame. Hate blamers they blame,
A trending world,
That`s trending the same.
Mistrusting the honesty  - âWhatever you say.â
Truth be sold.Â
And it's flying away.
Concentrate, mitigate.
Source,
The code.
We are the humans
We are the nodes.
Form networks, electric,
The cloud - an abode.
So, let it be heard.
For the payment is paid.
And the lessons are learnt.
In showers.
In the distance.
And in the sea...
Stingrays.
The Fish of the Sea.

I loved it! my take is now we are getting stung in a virtual world! I thought you were in a drought? man you are starting to hit it out of the water! XD! pun intended, you go slick! XD!..your friend ! love ya brother! ...........................Jim...................................ps... everybody having picture upload trouble!
Ahhh thanks Jim!! To be honest, this write started its life as a gripe about life in general and how everything seems to have gone to pot. Only recently did I have the motivation and attitude to rewrite it in a similar frame of mine to the sandstorm poems. So I guess it is a drought? eh? ;) I have another one in the works too, so we`ll see! I`m really chuffed that you liked this one, thank you so much. Peace and smiles to you... I hope Cosmos doesn't implode!! XD, "Oh no Cosmo, don't implode!!" XD That sounds hilarious!!
I also had issues with uploading images today đÂ
Your poem was very good. The word choice fitting. It resonates with how I feel the wheels are coming off the world... and rolling down the hill "far from the tree".
SHALOM đ¤
Ahhh, glad you liked it my friend, yes twas my intention, lots of jumbled up phrases and experiments in this write... Peace and smiles to you my friend. Someone`s got to post a wish, "I hope Cosmo doesn't implode!!!"
Awww I luvit my lil beautiful fishy swimming free in that beautiful deep blue sea đ
Ahhh, thanks Jill! Glad you liked this one my friend! Hope to catch up soon!!

Powerful words Max...feeling the vibe here. It's a lying cheating corrupt black hell hole then...the sun come out!! Not in your poem though which is good...I hate happy endings cos they don't exist. Good write my friend X
Marion, thank you so much, the thing is I haven't been commenting recently (been hella busy XD), so really I`m really chuffed that went searching for this one~ But also I agree on that Marion... I think we can all resonate with the dark times and places... but we should also focus on the light, or if perhaps even the little things that brighten our day. Hugs to you Marion. Thank you again, my friend.Â
Had to pin Max this is excellent! The world is going to pot.Â
It does feel like we have to route through a load of craziness to find the answers. I do feel we have lost our way as humans. And we donât look after the planet enough. A fine write and I canât wait to read your next postÂ
great workÂ
your friend Gwen x
Ahhh thanks so much, Gwen, and thank you for going searching for my post! I know I haven't been online recently, hoping to change that... Yes, it does seem like the world has gone to pot, doesn't it? Least we can swim in Cosmo water happily enough. Like a lagoon, sheltered from the outside world... Again thank you so much for your support, hope to catch up soon! MaxÂ
Like the deeper theme's in this body of work.Â
Thanks Liliana much love my friend!
Write more please.Â
One day Liliana! One day... XD
Max if you're going to paint it, paint it black, bible black.
Great to read something nihilistic with no cute, safe, soft silver lining cop out .
Stick to your guns and no poetic prisoners taken. A full on, all out poem with a mad world awaiting beyond our doorstep, where nothing lasts forever.
Top marks for writing create conjuring images that come in restless, relentless waves.
Thanks Max for upping something edgier and enthrallingly so.
Â
Ahh thanks, Shaun! Really, I appreciate it my friend. For you to speak highly of my work electrifies me. If there`s one phrase that probably defines me it's "restless, relentless waves". Thank you for hitting the nail on the head, as you always do so well Shaun. Peace and smiles to you. Your fish friend. Max
Max a thousand apologies for first time round I forget to give full deserved honours.
That will be rectified and forgive my foolish oversight.
And great to reread by the way my friend.Â
Lol No problem Shaun! Just you reading work makes my day! Thank you for the Kudos and vote. But really, you support me so much, thank you my poetic friend. Max~
