@sifaswriting.bsky.social"What do they call a small group of hooligans?"
"A #hoolicosm?"
"You mean a microcosm of hooligans?"
"They live in their own world, y'know."

Hollicosm? What do you mean?
Is it naughty, nice or in between?
Is it a sort of microcosm?
This silly word “hollicosm”
is a word I’ve never seen.
@johnchmura.bsky.social#SillySeptember #hoolicosm @daveashleypoet.bsky.social
lucifer kept his wings
and he was sent to hell!
so why why were mine clipped
when I was sent to rule the hoolicosm,
like who would want to leave
the 24/7 mosh pit?
@fhpowellwriter.bsky.socialI once was a hooligan
a miserable wretch
now I'm a #hoolicosm
fully fledged
I'm gentle with kittens
smile at babies in prams
make great wicker baskets
with my artsy hands
I write classical music
with tin pots and pans
have to say
I'm a changed man
@rayhourigan.bsky.socialHoolicosm heaves,
The endlessly happening
Football back again.

Still in intimitant signal. A Steve for you all
@sifaswriting.bsky.social"What's this on his medical chart? ' #Wangsnargle'?"
"A rather embarrassing accident involving the zipper of his pants."
"...Is that the official term for it now?"
"Ask the admitting physician. It it isn't, it should be."
@sifaswriting.bsky.socialHe shook his head. "You've been a victim of #mirfalism, my dear."
"What's that? I've never heard of it."
"It's short for 'mirror failism'. The glass lies to you my dear. You may think your outfit suits you, but in reality, it does not. Fear not, I can help you solve that problem."

Beware the wily mirf men
They mirfalize you and then
Your heart they will steal
Mirfalism is real
And you’ll never be the same again
@johnchmura.bsky.social#SillySeptember #mirfalism @daveashleypoet.bsky.social
the movement began
with Anfrés
a committed formalist
his entire career
before the break
a mind divided
against himself
he could not stand
but how his mirfalism morphed
into an academic pseudo-form
is beyond the scope
of this dissertation
@rayhourigan.bsky.socialMirfalism, when
A Smurf is reversed, awful
Wangsnargle ensues.

@daveashleypoet.bsky.social#SillySeptember My word! The words!!!!
The word to include
Still in an intermittent dead zone of dropping signals!!!
So here is Steve for you all
@fhpowellwriter.bsky.socialDamn that #wangsnargle
stuck to my toes
it stinks like foul fish marrow
tickles the end of my bones
Its swimming sewage
intellectually disengaged
bundle it in a suitcase
place it on a crest of a wave
@johnchmura.bsky.social#SillySeptember @daveashleypoet.bsky.social
extra knuckle cracks
finger pushups
the moment to shine
can you fathom the intensity
that builds through rest after rest
until you strike the triangle
when the orchestra yields at 4’56”
in the world premiere
of the #Wangsnargle
glockenspiel concerto
@brendafromia.bsky.social#SillySeptember #wangsnargle #haiku
A wang and a twang
Not a song, more a gargle
Quite the wangsnargle
@daveashleypoet.bsky.social#SillySeptember Damn I'm verbose!!!!
Your word to include
In a place with hardly any signal so apologies if I don't answer... here is a Steve
@brendafromia.bsky.socialFeeling rather feverish
I have a rash,
I need to dash
Before I ipkarish
