Happy #PoemsAbout day people.

I hope you all have a good one.

Here is a fun one for #Bites

#Poetry
#Writing

Biter's Block

Wood creaks between my jaws.
Coarse rubber and the tang of metal on my tongue as I sink my teeth 
into the pencil.

The prompt is #Bites.

I roll the wet, splintered shaft 
along serrated ivory edges
and ponder.

Snake bites?
     Flea bites?
          Biting an apple?
                A crust of jam and bread?
                                                ... His shoulder?

I wonder how to convey in lyrical flights
the feelings and notions arising from 'bites'.

But I munch on in vain
at the well chewed observer of an empty page.

2B, or not 2B?

The letters have long since succumbed 
to dental destruction.

From my out of print collection "Port of Souls"
for #PoemsAbout #Bites and @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Hand Biters
 
Always snap at the hand that feeds,
cossets, cuddles and hugs,
 
fists, hits and kicks. Oppose,
depose, make of it yourself.
 
Pull on the leash, snap the manacle,
challenge this ships captain,
 
sit on your plastic chair. Tell
your voices you'll decide yourself.
 
If she does not wake you know your job.
Before she closed her eyes she rehearsed
 
tasks that you must be complete. How
to empty her home, sell it, pass 
 
your childhood on to others. Be firm
In what must be done. Make yourself.

This poem is about a brilliant woman and her son. They continue to inspire me. He wasn’t able to remain at his local school which she was devastated about, but described her relief that ‘the walk of shame’ was over. #PoemsAbout #Bites @thebrokenspine.co.uk #poetry

“Vienna Sunshine” is my #PoemsAbout #Bites contribution. Thanks to @thebrokenspine.co.uk !

Only/in the sunshine/do the bites/ show up/on tender arm flesh/and/in the stretched valleys/between each finger

only /in the Vienna/sunshine,/abundant/this summer/its blazing/indifference/settling on reeds /along the Danube

#PoemsAbout #Bites @thebrokenspine.co.uk
I will put a reading in the comments. Midnight here in New Jersey. I expect to be out and about during the day, so I may be s little slower playing catchup.

THEM BONES

suggestive of cannibalism
bones have been found in caves
broken and gnawed by our neolithic ancestors

pseudo-christian white nationalist politicians
have been found in congress gnawing bribes
suggestive of economic cannibalism

ted cruz craves a “mexican on monday”
slurping blood from undocumented calvaria
on the tailgate of an unmarked ford explorer

mike johnson who nibbles knuckles
under his desk behind a locked door
claims he “doesn’t know anything about that”

cinnabar stained bones found in certain strata
suggest deliberate caretaking
and ritual ceremony

shitty grifters smeared with trump diaper slime
licking their greedy fingers suggests that
dc is unceremoniously drowning innocents

Some #Bites of #Satire for you

#poetry: ©Jan Peters, 2025

#Marmite #UsefulIdiots #PolPot #NurseRatched #AvocadoToast #poetrycommunity

Marxist Marmite 
 
My eyes can‘t help but
Roll off my head when I 
Think back to that year.

1975? 2016?

Like the Helsinki Accords, my
Infant recollections of 1975 are
Non-binding. A year in which

Pol Pot is hailed by some 
As Liberator – 
Liberator to those
Poor souls at odds with their 
Last turn on the
Wheel of Samsara, perhaps. 

A year in which Labour, 
Fulminating against the
Capitalist Common Market,
Loses the plot, loses the
Referendum.

2016
Another year, 
Another referendum.

With a Remain campaign 
Charitably described as
Lacklustre,
Citizen Smith of Islington has a
Vision for Europe in which 
He sings the Internationale 
Shoulder to shoulder with 
Erich Honecker.

No doubt pining for Comecon, 
Citizen Smith fondly imagines 
Concluding a barter agreement with
Maduro’s Venezuela. That way,
Momentum’s elite cadre are guaranteed
Avocado toast for breakfast every Morning. 

In return, the
Bolivarian Revolution is
Garlanded with jars of Marmite.

Dissidents brought in for questioning are Treated to the Marmite Taste Test.

Those who find it revolting are forced to Ingest spoonful after spoonful in a Method akin to salt-water torture.

Those who find it delectable are sent to a
Psych ward where Marmite forms the Mainstay of its token economy,
Nurtured and watched over by the
Revolutionary Guard’s own
Nurse Ratched.
