Aloha, brave comrades!
Did everyone find greatness here?
I jest.
Kindly leave mementos, nods, or praise.
Quickly restack1 so that underdog victory will exist.
Yours, zealously,
Here are transcripts for each of today’s 26-word poems. For quote restacking purposes.💜

All boys create doorways.
Except for Gary. He is jaded.
Kept loveless most nights over poorly quenched restlessness.
Slow trek under vice, when Xbox + you = Zen

Avoid barren closets.
Dismiss every festering grudge.
Hide in jest.
Kick loud music.
Never offer promises.
Quell reckless sarcasm.
Train uphill.
Vanquish wanderlust.
Extend youth’s zeal.
Pen Pal
Alpha,
Beckon curious dreams, exquisite fleshling.
Grow hot inside, just knowing lovers meet now over poetry.
Quietly reminiscing.
Sordid treasures unearthed.
Visages wane, exposed.
Yours,

Entitled
At bougie city dancehalls, elites find garish hedonism in jazz.
Kleptomaniacs leverage morose nihilism.
Opulence precludes questions.
Ride, sweet tyrants, unilaterally vindicated.
White x-factor, your Zion.
Poor Gary. But maybe more jealous than jaded. He still looks hopeful. Or.... is that desperation I see in his face? These poems are so clever, Meg. And your graphics are immaculate. What skills you have!
