I love the thought of AI hallucinating, Tailor. Great use of alliteration on "p" in that first line.
Esther offers "games" for this week's Writing Prompts: https://estherchilton.co.uk/2026/01/...g-prompts-101/
The Games of Feud
"All the same you are just playing games."
Well, at least I am not calling names.
At least now I am not.
When the feuding gets hot,
who knows what we will use for our flames?
Fanning the flame of a feud, ah, "the games people play"... NIGYSOB comes to mind https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=NIGYSOB
Games it is :)
strategery
tactical games of chess
always let your opponent
make the first mistake

Good advice - let one's opponent make the first mistake.
Esther offers "flying" for this week's Writing Prompts: https://estherchilton.co.uk/2026/02/04/word-prompts-2/
Flying
"I am flying. I'm trying. OK?"
Said the bird to his mama one day.
Then she jumped in the nest.
Pushed the chick out. The rest
is now history. He's flying. OK?
Lol... imagine our parents being so supportive. Enjoyed :)

I am glad I got more time than that bird got.
Esther offers "drive" for this week's writing prompt: https://estherchilton.co.uk/2026/02/...g-prompts-102/
Talking While Driving Me Nuts
I could drive, but I'd much rather walk.
I could fly, if I could, like a hawk.
Since I know that a lie
makes a mess, I will try
not to lie, but beware when I talk.
I dream on occasion of flying... Walking is more pleasant than driving... Talk: True - "Loose lips sink ships". Enjoyed :)
Drive
That drive innate
conjugates
An oblate spheroid
Mother Earth

Good point, Tailor, that loose lips sink ships. I like the image of Mother Earth as an oblate spheroid.
Esther offers "memories" for this week's writing prompts: https://estherchilton.co.uk/2026/02/...g-prompts-103/
Unrighteous Memories
Those odd memories refuse to stop
like a judge seeking justice on top
of your case every day.
All your lawyer need say,
"He's now righteous. So, let the case drop."
2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV - 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Memories a prison need not make :)
memories of us
memories of us
a pre-mortal existence
just beyond my reach

Good point about memories being a prison we don't have to make, Tailor.
This week Esther offers "taste" for the Writing Prompts: https://estherchilton.co.uk/2026/02/...g-prompts-104/
Lacking a Taste for that Mushy Stuff
So I told him it's better to write
a love poem than whine through the night.
But his taste wasn't for
all that mushy stuff or
he got wrong what he wouldn't get right.
A bit ambiguous but enjoyed :)
tip of my tongue
tactile buds
aroused by umami,
sweet, sour, salty, bitter
tidbits, drinks
evanescent

I've never had umami, but it sounds delicious.
This week Esther offers "dance" for her Writing Prompts: https://estherchilton.co.uk/2026/03/...g-prompts-105/
Dancing Together
The road ahead goes on and on.
I dance down it and sing a song
and you can come and sing along.
Then we could dance together.
Wonderful sentiment! Enjoyed... back later with an offering :)

dance with me
dance with me
within the dandelions' grove
where we'll share
our wishes together
