Your hands are crossed with silver
when you meet Esmerelda #Pranchet
you will change your demeanour
when you enter her tent
she will tell you
your fortune
sing you a song
spread butter and honey
all over your bread

Your hands are crossed with silver
when you meet Esmerelda #Pranchet
you will change your demeanour
when you enter her tent
she will tell you
your fortune
sing you a song
spread butter and honey
all over your bread
Well, shit in a bag
And punch it, shifty pranchet
Back for more grifting.

"My uncle's name is Veris, and he always used to say that a dog's nose knows no wrong."
"One of his #Verisims, eh?" They both watched at their hunting dog poked his nose into an empty knot in the tree, then it pulled out a sack of gold coins.
"See, told ya."

I got all dressed up
Dressed up in my very best
My little black dress
It’s a knock off Vera Wang
Let’s call it a Verism
#SillySeptember #Verisim @daveashleypoet.bsky.social
in a Verisim fugue
bliss overwhelms
my psychic ram
i try reminding myself
it isn’t real
but words are static
text is special characters
I becomes &
& pinch myself
primary colored
one winged butterflies
exit the wound
crawling back into cocoons
I am sick of your #Verisim
being wonderfully true
I'd much prefer it if you
gave us some obvious fake news
because that I can relate to
and swallow it whole
but people speaking the truth
really rattles my bones
Verisim junkies,
Lost to virtual drooling,
Bumping into walls.

Once upon a time I rongelled
At rongelling I really excelled
It’s kind of like dancing
Hips swinging and prancing
To this day, it’s unparalleled
Write
a concise idea
or scribble
a half-baked
#rongelled one
on one hand
it is clear and coherent
the other one
just gelled wrong.
I was out
keeping company
with some mad kind of king
when I was #rongelled
and insulted by one of McCluskey's kin
I tried to rongell him back
with words of spite
and it all ended up
finishing
in a nasty fight

Perfectly rongelled,
Striking the right decibel,
Melody compelled.

the rongel pit
hadn’t been scrubbed in years
but it reeked less
than the uncouth crowd
waving bloated fistfuls of cash
at their favorite rongellers
and jeered at broken down athletes
who had once rongelled proudly
but now flopped in the muck
