Mirfalism, when
A Smurf is reversed, awful
Wangsnargle ensues.

#SillySeptember My word! The words!!!!

The word to include

#mirfalism

Still in an intermittent dead zone of dropping signals!!!

So here is Steve for you all

#SillySeptember #mirfalism @daveashleypoet.bsky.social

the movement began
with Anfrés
a committed formalist
his entire career
before the break

a mind divided
against himself
he could not stand

but how his mirfalism morphed
into an academic pseudo-form
is beyond the scope
of this dissertation

#SillySeptember #mirfalism
#limerick
Beware the wily mirf men
They mirfalize you and then
Your heart they will steal
Mirfalism is real
And you’ll never be the same again

Good gurning requires mirfalism
(not to be confused with pratfallism,
it is the philosophy
of wiping smirks off faces
before they begin.)
A desire not to be comic but ugly,
to tap into human darkness,
made manifest in muscular contortions

He shook his head. "You've been a victim of #mirfalism, my dear."

"What's that? I've never heard of it."

"It's short for 'mirror failism'. The glass lies to you my dear. You may think your outfit suits you, but in reality, it does not. Fear not, I can help you solve that problem."

You dropped another #mirfalism
you wicked witch of language
made me spring from my toes
any delightful creature knows
it's simply not done
in any respectable house
when jelly beans are sold
to grappling hands
and there are many words
left unspoken until twilight
