#Wurb #SillySeptember
@daveashleypoet.bsky.social

when i think of you. as i do now.
i want to pluck out your words
like verbs like strings that got struck.
and then swallow them whole.

low-hot-growl sound.
transfusable connection.
super-long-hyphenated-nonsensical adjectival constructions.
the wet machinery of vowels.

go go go. lips round.
electrical problem pigeons.
and underwater engines.
fuse the go.

tongue-ward, you.
put it in the mouth
to see.

you answer the whirrr.

wurb. wurb. wurb.

"Two pinches of #wurb..."

"Uh, excuse me?"

"Wurb. Second shelf down, bright blue bottle. Careful, that stuff's corrosive."

I looked at the shelves and located the bottle. It looked ready to shatter at a single touch.

"You sure about this?"

"Don't worry, it won't hurt you. Much."

@ Ive written a piece for #SomethingEveryday #Booka.

Not quite sure how well it works...
But here we go.
(I wanted to fit #Wurb in too, but failed on that front 🤣)

At night, when all the doors are closed
And lights off at the library
Then anyone who passes by;
If they should listen carefully,
May hear a muffled chewing sound
To spark their curiosity.

And should they find their way inside
Past window bars, and bolted doors
That inquisitve passer by
Might not believe quite what they saw
With books in piles upon the ground,
Their pages strwn across the floor.

And in-between the shelves wud crawl
Round half a dozen Gastrobib
(A large, nocturnal, purple wrm
That had, between the rafters hid.)
Who'd tare thru pages, word by wrd
Devouring letters as they did

nd evry book they came acros
Thy'd pres the papr to ther face
Thn suc the ink frm of the page
All leters gon
withou a trace

So you think I'm a wurb
a fat green one too
but I've never been wurbing
that would surely be rude
Maybe the wurb in me
comes out at night
as I try to find reason
in my precarious life

wish I had the wurbs to tell yew
how I pine for you unseen
rooted here I cannot leave
though my hopes stay evergreen

I branch out ever skyward
every day a little more gnarled
but should you seek a canopy
I’ll be right here in my yard

Title: Pastor Dave's First and Last Sermon

A rainbow of light spilled
Across the Tabernacle
From the sun shining
Through the stained glass windows

The congregation fanned themselves
Quietly watching as Pastor Dave
Stepped up to the altar

Rubber soles squeaking on the marble
The pastor's face reflecting blue
Then red, finally purple

A bead of sweat trickled
From neck to shoulder blade
Before disappearing into his vest

Pastor Dave cleared his throat
Licked his lips and began
"In the beginning was the Wurb
And the Wurb was with Gurd
And the Wurb was Gurd."

It was a short service that day.

I live in a house that’s superb
Between the woods & the burb
A nice quiet place
With lots of space
A peace of heaven - in wurb

birb birb birb
the birb is the wurb
and the little bitty birb
left a big huge blurb
on your freshly washed car
instead of on the dirty curb
and now you're disturbed
at what came out of the birb
because seriously, wtf

The curb of the wall,
A wurb if you will, a bird
Perches, warbling.

#SillySeptember time for a nonsense word just for you, yes you ...

The word to include #Wurb
