Headlines are buzzing
Is it bees or wasps?
No, it's humans
The former aren't around much
Y'know, extinction & such
In the year of 2026 T.D.—that's tyrannical days
Remember I says
In times of #unmissable #slapdash
That hurts one too many
It's only fair
You're feeling a little #kooky

"Your #slapdash approach to medicine is blatantly illegal."
"I'm a champion of convenience for the downtrodden public. They deserve a way to cut through the red tape!"
"A surgery DRIVE THROUGH is not the solution for that! No wonder your medical license is revoked."

Ode de Opossum
O pale faced, hissing cat of the night,
Rat-tailed and human-handed blight
I yeeted with a broom as the dogs barked mad
Exiled from the porch the familiar of the woodland band
If any scurry of a creature could be called #slapdash
It would be yours, O digger of trash.

Haiku Prediction
Every day now
They #stoop to a brand new low
Fascism welcomed
In #slapdash fashion
They show their evil passion
Neighborhood terror
The I.C.E. will go out
#unmissable crimes unmissed
There will be justice
Prosecutions start
Patriots’ #delivery
From all the evil

The rules of the game
For the fools and the lame
Rocked the jewels from the fame
All the tools were the same
Snorted lines of cocaine
Sporting rhymes in a name
When the challengers came
Rattled battlers same

I wanted to be
Another Bukowski
So I bled lines #slapdash
On the page
Arterial
Venerial
Every letter penned
With impotent rage

‘I would never #stoop to such #slapdash magic,’ declared Fred, gazing at the books squawking around the public library.
‘Are you trying to tell us there’s another incompetent wizard in London?’ asked Jay.
Renewal fades as
solid makes room for
#slapdash gives way
to undone.
Gathering the evidence
I hoard my hopes and
bury them in the calendar.

There was a Duchess in our haberdashery
With a dashing Daschund in her arms
Uttering "Balderdash!"
In reply to her dashed hopes and inquiry
If we stocked emdashes used for writing
-we had some but reserved -
-very unwise to tell her -
She acted quite Kardashian
Called us slapdash
"This... This flies?"
"Well, I know it looks #slapdash... Okay, I had to do what I could with what I had available. I had to hurry or we'd get caught."
"But does it fly?"
"Barely."
"Oh dear."

It was a mistake
To be sure
Anyone can make one
But the odds increase
When #slapdash is
The normal setting
As it was for mum
Mixed up ingredients
Wrong gifts
Shoes on reverse
School performances
Missed
She never seemed
To slow down enough
To make certain
It was right
A #slapdash poem re> you
The line art is a crude drawn heart
The words are just approximations
First to mind
Siren calls for the
romantically inclined.
It's just: Between two close to endless swaths of nada you exist
And on some Wednesday
25 or so years past
We almost kissed.

this isn't slapdash-- they way i miss you words mean more than they seem like bats wings-- things-- semi-permanent in their damage things cleave things tumble that is to say they fall down sure, street lights flicker without warning chain link fences clink measured steady as an accusation leveled at survival they way i miss you like half hours and aftermaths the in-between of anything where there are real fears that arrive breathing real disasters and heights to fall from the way i miss you
this isn't #slapdash

Breathing hard after the 20-mile chase, the red & blue lights - combined with the metallic click of the handcuffs around his wrists - finally clued him in that maybe…just maybe…he had misunderstood when he heard someone say, “ #slapdash” at the neighbor’s barbecue.

Her phone is easy to give up. But she misses fast food. No #slapdash unhealthy meals since her dad had the #kooky idea to live like a pioneer.
"Takeout? Take out that axe and chop the head off that old bird."
The blade hovers. She can't do it, not even for KFC. Beans and rice again. #vss365
slipping
slapdash into
ash.
hillside holding

Slap happy and punch drunk
Ivan put a slapstick movie on TV. Erica saw the move as a slap in the face: doesn't he want to talk to me? After she gave him the slap down of a lifetime, he threw together a #slapdash second date, but she wasn't impressed by dinner at Arby's. Bye bye Ivan.

She couldn't help but look at the clock. There was no way she was going to be able to do this in time. But a #slapdash approach would probably get them in more trouble.
"Can you get me into the building?"
He looked at her in surprise.
"If I can get on one of their machines, I can do it."

My big sister was #slapdash magic— A scavenger hunt,
kitchen-cabinet raider,
party-maker.
Big Red punch,
a pink box cake frosted white,
half a jar of rainbow sprinkles,
Pop Magic, Pringles,
Lay’s dip—
Junk-drawer stray balloons.
Mama may’ve forgotten birthdays,
but my sister never did.
This new bookshop is pretty #slapdash —nothing shelved right, a useless owner, and why are the other patrons all armed to the teeth? And what’s this, a magic circle seared into the floor—?
Oh. This is a trap.
“Delphinia Horyk-Auralyze, you are under arrest.”
Well, damn.

Out of focus gaze
as if of oracle
toothless, hopeless
and uncouth,
wrapped in warp
and weft of silvered stare.
Bygone youth
like homeless,
bootless beggar
wastes the whiles,
whilst decrepitude
seeps slapdash into age.

When you write, #punctuation is key.
It can clarify meaning, you see.
Use each comma with care.
Excess bangs? Don't you dare!!!!
If you're #slapdash your mark shall be D!

The cabin looked #slapdash at first, with missing glass in the windows and wide, unchinked gaps between the logs, until you noticed they were intentional, to let the plants and small woodland creatures free passage in and out. That's when you'd guess a witch dwelt within. Too late. #vss365
She went #slapdash with haberdashery, the manchester and clothes insulted by unnecessary buttons, ribbons, zippers added in a whirlwind
And yet they praised it as high art, rendered meaning upon the meaningless, and snapped it up without a thought for the cost

Her warmth,
Against January winters
The reason I
Love my bed
So I slapdash my breakfast
In Takeaway coffee cup
As I’m about to open
The front door

The Watering Hole was a #slapdash tinderbox of a place, with vermin lurking in every corner. I’m pretty sure some poor rando was being murdered with an axe in the bathroom. But the ghoulish bartender poured generous doubles of top-shelf booze. So, there’s that.

The issues was never Original Sin. It isn’t in us, it’s in everything. The universe was a #slapdash attempt at putting a cosmos into play. Its first programs had no moral compass until an update was pushed by a second bug, which was a talking snake. Of course the world is broken. #vss365 #writing
When 'uncensored' meets unchecked prompts, the canvas turns #slapdash chaotic fast. Grok's latest 'art' spree: bikinis on demand, guardrails optional, has regulators circling and headlines screaming.
Freedom or flaw?
The line's getting blurry.
