Republicans

The tenor hour
#offbeat history
clearing a room of silence.

We answer not in
#raucous fury
a #witty steadiness—
a #quirky refusal—
to bow when shifts
#seismic undercurrents.

Let them #swoon
at spectacle noise—
as we stand, rhythmic
resistance bleeding
throughout our bones.

#Inkmine

I may be quirky or offbeat, but
raucous held-back snickers and
seismic laughs at witty puns
are ear candy to me - swoon!

Climb out of
My awkwardness
Out of the person
Who stays in the lines
And embrace
My inside child
Offbeat and wild

There she was
At an open mic night
She was offbeat and witty
With these quirky looks
Her raucous lines
Sent seismic shivers
Through my core
Almost sent me swooning
To the floor
