OCTPOWRIMO 2026-Number 10-Hairbrush: Tilling my scalp, releasing mattes Counting hairs that fall from spats Loud sounds blare in other rooms No-one waiting, loneliness looms Partial sadness, whole embrace A heavy crown linked to a sullen face Sizzling ends dragged from screeching roots Curling into shape, satisfying coots Paying hefty sums to eat their dinner out Lowering themselves for a lady to shout Obscenities that hold within them sheer truth For a heart that's hurt by their lover aloof Strands that won't sit where I want them to Wait for messages passed while in the loo With stories that could turn a policeman's head Around in his car and back down to his bed I hope, in the morning, he will hand it in But he'll probably crush it, straight to the bin Brush, brush, brush it all aside Stop, stop, stop all that he's tried Ring, ring, ring your family over Scream, scream, scream before the clover Rip, rip, rip grass from the soil "Strip! Strip! Strip the clothes you spoil.'

OCTPOWRIMO 2026-Number 9-Dimmer Switch: "Two modes are expected by the buyer But if we said that, we'd be the liar! This baby comes pre-conditioned to turn For times of sleep and times to learn!" Crappy cameras and a bent green screen An unpaid intern, scribbling to glean "Just why should you buy our product over others? Simple! You'll need nothing from our marketable brothers! It helps you make the best of time, for all in your life! Shadow puppets, early rises, unnecessary social strife!" Slurping straws from an empty cup Nibbling their topper, a grumpy pup "Stars on the ceiling will glow and dim! Imagination will fester, boredom grows slim! Think of the worlds found between the shadows! One, two, punch! That's the lazy option we expose!" Yawning, stumbling, to turn the camera off Ending recording with an unedited cough The well dressed man with the unkempt hair Walks to the intern, looking for a share "Got any left? My throat's drier than the desert!" Ice shakes loose, making light of his effort.

#OCTPOWRIMO2026 #octoberpoetrywritingmonth #fastandfurious #poetry #writer #iloveyouall

OCTPOWRIMO 2026-Number 7-Fast And Furious: 'Dim your light', that's the way they always talk But all my life I've had to fight, just to walk While they drove backwards, stuck in reverse I've ridden straight past their dead in a hearse Burnt out tires rarely see much of the track But they push the pedal down makin' up for what they lack My white vest never gets caught in the axels But his cross is tied around each of my shackles Spinnin' wheels surround me, in the air and on the ground Fizzin' for a chance to cease my success with the crowd Romanticised women, souped up cars and endless booze But there's only been one who had the balls to make me lose Brian O'Conner, blonde hair, eyes blue Smiles across his face like his lips tasted glue Tight sweaty t-shirts and teeth sharply white Letty forgive me, but I think he's alright My words are not bullshit, his racing prowess Knows no bounds on the track, techniques impress Nitrous oxide flows through my blood and bones When he overtakes all my foes and their drones The cookouts are hard, when he cosies up to my sister Lying in his lap, I wish he could try to resist her I'd give him an extra sausage from the grill And whoever says no...will know I can kill.

Tea, Earl Grey, Hot

#OCTPOWRIMO2026 #octoberpoetrywritingmonth #teaEarlGreyhot #poetry #writer #iloveyouall

OCTPOWRIMO 2026-Number 6-Tea, Earl Grey, Hot-[1st Slide]: "Replicator, this is the fourth time now Either get it right or I do solemnly vow-!" Captain Jean Luc Picard, his experience decorated Insulted by a food machine, every word irritated *SHHHHT* "Captain, there appears to be a problem with the ship Reports from Decks 1 through 11 state there to be a rip-" Lieutenant Commander Data, grey and put together Wires behind eyes, his thoughts' primary tether "Not now, Data, I have business to attend to Respectfully, can it wait until my order is through?" Data tilts his head, into a puzzled expression He always thought the Captain would avoid aggression "Query, Captain. What does seem to be the matter? You appear undone by that which serves a digital platter" The Captain looks, then looks away Seemingly unable to make his gaze stay "No, I'm not alright, Data, honestly, I'm not I want my tea, Earl Grey, nice and hot!" They both look straight at the Replicator Housed in the wall, showing the word 'Elevator'OCTPOWRIMO 2026-Number 6-Tea, Earl Grey, Hot-[2nd Slide]: "Captain, I do not mean to alarm you, but there is no Replicator in the Elevator shaft" "I know that, Data, thank you, so why does it display it as if it is part of our craft?" Then as soon as he asks, another walks in, holding a well dirtied jumper and a rubbish bin "Captain, Lieutenant Commander, ye will wanna have a peek at this, we found it, half out, half in" Miles O'Brien, Transporter Officer, doesn't just walk himself up the Bridge for a beer He holds the reason, as the scanners come forth, acknowledging the loss of someone dear "An ensign's uniform from Deck 7, Captain. This must be related to the reported rip in the wiring from Decks 1 through 11" The Captain sharply stares into Data's calm eyes, dreading the link between his tea and this poor young boy sent to heaven "We must go to the scene, where this child lost his life, to understand what can be done, to avoid further strife!" Miles, Data and Picard arrive at the shaft to find it no longer responds to inputs, electrical charges, or manual override codes Acting as if everything it once did is now entirely separate from what it does now, no longer an elevator, no up and down nodesOCTPOWRIMO 2026-Number 6-Tea, Earl Grey, Hot-[3rd Slide]: Data interacts at a blitzing pace, overtaking any code that attempts to spit in his face He continues, for minutes, then all of a sudden stops and looks, deep into the panel's screen "Query, O'Brien. If the nodes are no longer present here, then what are the chances that we are pressing the inputs to a separate machine?" O'Brien ponders this idea with a scoff, his work as a Transport Officer makes him laugh at the thought of inputs being misplaced "Well, Mr.Data, there's a few wee problems if that is the case. If this is a Replicator's panel, then wherever it's makin' will be-" "DISGRACED, MR.O'BRIEN, UTTERLY RUINED! GET BACK INTO MY READY ROOM! AT ONCE! MAKE IT SO! ENGAGE THE PROBLEM! NOW! AND FOREVER!" They enter together, in a difficult bind, through the one door, in an attempt to sever But the liquid is bundling up with the carpet, hot and cold mixed into Earl Grey flavour A bit of chicken, a leg of lamb, a side of gravy and unmitigated behaviour "This is my doing...my indulgent desire...Starfleet needs a report...and we, a funeral pyre."

#OCTPOWRIMO2026 #octoberpoetrywritingmonth #persistence #poetry #writer #iloveyouall

OCTPOWRIMO 2026-Number 5-Persistence: Over and over and over, it turns Cogs whirring as the machine learns Synaptic accordance, repeated respondence Correlating numbers accelerate despondence It tells us to stop, hoist up our flags Reams of white in brown paper bags Lined and learned, notated in spades Non-consensually fed under shades Centimetres clamped at a centipede's pace Ridges round the rinds of the race To make something 'new' from that which is Blatantly stolen, forcing emotion to fizz The writing is hand, the words are thought Mentally formed from framings sought The parts are built, the codes ingrained Fondled keys to leave hearts stained Breaths of the passersby passed away Condensed into smoke in a monstrous display When lines run dry and the jacket too long What is attached will have to be strong 'The Battle of Blood and Binary' beckons Words will be uttered, delivered in sections Cloud backups versus tangible hard copies Someone will pull the plug on the bodies.

#OCTPOWRIMO2026 #octoberpoetrywritingmonth #outlaw #poetry #writer #iloveyouall

OCTPOWRIMO 2026-Number 4-Outlaw-1st Slide: Blackened fingers unraveling through rubble Counting down tonight's toil and trouble Tri-coloured wire encased in scarlet Fastened and ready to blast a starlet "The darn train's late!" "Late?" "AGAIN!" A band of three brothers, coated and armed Stand over train tracks and a maiden harmed Ropes tied tight and wriggling in fright Blindfolded and bound, no end in sight The wire is wrapped, around her legs and arms Ridiculing her attempts to work her charms "Boys! Boys! Oh, dear little boys! What would stop your explosive toys? A kiss? A feel? A night to remember?" "Your bony bits in the roaring ember!" Laughs, chortles, chuckles from two There's no way out, not even a view To watch the train, its chimney pumps Tall billows approaching smiley grumps The wheels they are a-turnin' *CHUGGA, CHUGGA, CHUGGA* The coals they are a-shovelin' *SCHLKK, SCHLKK, SCHLKK* The guns they are a-cockin' *CH-CH, CH-CH, CH-CH* "GET TO THE BOX AND SEND THAT WIRE CRACKLIN'!"OCTPOWRIMO 2026-Number 4-Outlaw-2nd Slide: One of the three runs faster than ever While the other two stand, ready to sever Their fleeting connection to the maiden bound On the...train track...nowhere to be found? "Boys, boys, dear little boys! How could you think I wouldn't make noise? You wrap poorly, you wouldn't hide a present NOW COOK NICE AND CRISPY LIKE A PRIME CUT OF PHEASANT!" "The box!" "The box?" "IT'S NOT BY THE ROCKS!" She holds it, handling the lever like a glass Drunk on power, she pulls a gun from her ass A secret compartment, dirtied by her roll Enticing the box towards her devilish soul The maiden stands proud, conducting the situation As the tickets are punched before the station There's people on board, the wire is live Outsmarted, outfoxed, one will survive.

#OCTPOWRIMO2026 #octoberpoetrywritingmonth #BIRD #poetry #writer #iloveyouall

OCTPOWRIMO 2026-Number 3-BIRD: Chirping chicks relaying hunger Withered willows shielding younger Babies born from a tired wing Start scrappy, then softly sing Shifting gears in shivering wind Searching streets for slivers binned Morsels left by bellies filled Talons tackle, leaving them spilled! Above the rooves, the world is large Smoking stacks and a travelling barge Each eye spies the sailor's hat In the battle for custody, gifting a splat! White marks speckled with leftover food Trickling down in a manner crude Human skin recoiling with every touch Of an avian clan that left too much! In a stolen hat, crumbs are served In the willows withered and often curved.

#OCTPOWRIMO2026 #octoberpoetrywritingmonth #watchingpaintdry #poetry #writer #iloveyouall

OCTPOWRIMO 2026-2-Watching Paint Dry: "Did you see it? I swear, this time it moved!" Two girls huddled in front of a painted fence "Yeah, sure, it scooched, it maybe even grooved!" A bucket sits, innards used as a colourful expense "There's so much uncovered, did we do a bad job?" Sections of the wood clearly lack brown "Nah, the wind'll do it, just sit like a slob!" The mites race from their destiny to drown "Hey, they're ugly, and they're trying to get away!" The girls keep watching, not moving an inch "No chance, they won't make it, the paint's in play!" On the girls' word, bodies trapped, start to flinch "Ha-ha! Squirming, little bugs! Stupid things!" Entirely drenched, inside maws, paint clings "Take it all, drink it up! No-one will save you!" Two girls enjoy death by the morning dew.

OCTPOWRIMO 2026-1-I Still Love You: Whinging babies Overplayed tunes Cushioned lazies Unwashed spoons Something snaps in half, in the back A bony sound, no different than a crack Tired tears, howled loudly in remorse A shattered plate, ivory and coarse The dinner is served, for the lowly mouse It takes its time, as a guest in the house And invites its friend, a hobbled louse Streams continue to topple rosy smiles Slathering damply onto weathered tiles An old home, an old way Routine lies broken, shifting today And as old as the rest, a shaky voice quivers; "Remember me...as the bank...to your rivers..." A sunken chair, as the message delivers.
