A civic parade
Shot rife with chaotic tones
A penny dreadful

Very interesting take!
9th of July
Holiday
Parade,
Charade.
All those dead.
A heroic narrative
and so many questions.

I wrote the poem above before learning of the shooting in US today. I´m very sorry! It looks like terrorism is getting organized again

de nada
parlor games
There once was a man who played
At parlor games quite unafraid
But when it came about
To gesturing without a shout
He just wasn't into the charade

Enjoyed! A sort of Limerick?
Winged houses,
Speaking louses
Eccentric mouses
Lost causes.
Is this a nonsense poem
or just one attempt at rhyming?

I guess so: "A limerick (/ˈlɪmərɪk/ LIM-ər-ik) is a form of verse, usually humorous and frequently rude, in five-line, predominantly anapestic trimeter with a strict rhyme scheme of AABBA, in which the first, second and fifth line rhyme, while the third and fourth lines are shorter and share a different rhyme." - Wikipedia
Lol !
again... rhymes
rhymes are a dime a dozen
(or so said my many-times past cousin)
be it sonnets or villanelles
some just can't stand the smell
(unless they're done very-very well)
so to free form one oft prevails

cowboy cat - a tanka poem
my cowboy cat breathes
ever so slow, wide and worn
a full ten gallon
its furry creases so swell
when hunting it purrs aloud

Enjoyed "cowboy cat"!
Soliloquies of a worm
Here you can see me
just a worm, braving the storm
at times forlorn.
Pathetically small I
own the entrails of the earth.

Wonderful ! The epitome of humility !
o' my sanity
racked so lack of sleep
darkest night dims not drear thought
o' my sanity
there's no solace counting sheep
'tis mindless as counting coup

Today usually valerian is of help, when I can´t sleep. But I have seen darker times.
King Valerian
Adorned with flowers
white or pink
I preside softly over
the sleep of humans
and the glee of cats!
Moths enjoy me.
In ancient times,
I warded of envious elves
at the weddings.

I have some hydrOXYzine (Atarax) HCL 50 mg... https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-7...l-oral/details I may take 1-tab in a wee bit to see if that helps... Valerien sounds quite exotic as your poem impliesWill see where it is available.
little white pills
pills - hate them so much
how many did I take ?
or take any at all ?
rinse, wash, and repeat
to sleep
maybe another will help
or did I take one yet ?
foggy minded into the
amber dispenser; again ?
... one more -
need to sleep
into the breach thou
tiny white pill
heal this poor soul
bereft of rapid eye
- "nigh night sleep tight
don't let the buggies bite"

Here one can find it in any drugstore. Or at the herbs seller. But keep the smell far from the noses of your cats because of the catnip effect. There is also the extract of Passion Flower but Valerian works better with me.
Catniped cat
Four dancing legs,
But they might be eight!
Sniffing, sniffing, rolling on the floor
Dancing dancing, sniff, sniff, sniff.
Dancing, sniff, sniff
Subsiding!
Balling up, yawning,
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

lol - cat's strophes
angst - tanka
it conjures at last
a more balanced pain stirred in
into my sorrow
my petitions to angels
to whom made known disregard

abguished
Anguish-tanka
I seek the footprints
of the guiding entities
when earth seems empty
and usual paths are closed.
How improve on this cliché?
