DAYS 21 ... 25

DAY 21  ...RXC # 377

the impossible will take a little while
especially when you have no mouth and must scream
it doesn't help having thirteen doorways either wolves behind all of them
you should really think about moving
all the stress is making you unpregnant
tis going to be difficult selling that house
with no water filter and other lies you're going to have to tell
to get rid of it
oh well as you previously said
the impossible will take a little while





  • The Impossible Will Take a Little While (Paul Rogat Loeb)
  • I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream (Harlan Ellison)
  • Thirteen Doorways, Wolves behind them all (Laura Ruby)
  • No Filter and Other Lies (Crystal Maldonado)
  • Unpregnant (Jenni Hendricks and Ted Caplan)


DAY 22... Melissa's FFFC # 317

Breakfast In Bed




no thanks
are you serious
where is the fresh lobster
you know i only like roses
really.. tsk!

any more
of this frightful behaviour
and i'll be finding myself
a new home 
with an owner
who writes poems
understands cats
knows that we do a lot more
than sit on mats

DAY 23...What's Going On...https://newwhhatsgoingon.blogspot.com

this poem is a memory
of your beautiful flowers
of your musical laugh
watching jerry lewis on tv

this poem is my fascination
watching you crochet
minouche asleep on your lap
listening to tino rossi

this poem is a love poem
you dabbing grandpas's forehead
with eau de cologne  and fanning him
on a scorching summers day

this poem is to thank you
for everything


DAY 24...Tanka Tuesday...Acrostic...SOAKED


ydney is rain soaked
O n an off  all day today
A nzac day here soon

K ids will still have fun
E verbody likes the day
D iggers play two up



DAY 25....ANZAC DAY....FRIDAY WRITINGS #


SHADORMA

have never
made the dawn  service
too late now
a pity
kids march wearing war medals
so proud of their kin

the anzacs
were so very young
makes me sad
just futile
wars never end... little men
wanting to be big

start all wars
destroying all life
around them
so evil
will this ever change..will there
be peace on this earth

  3. Maybe the cat doesn’t know the owner is getting ready to sell the house. Perhaps trying to bribe the cat with sweet treats. I love the lobster and roses. Only the best for kitty.🐱

  17. In Mur'bah the march was washed out! Not that I had planned to attend anyway. I have mixed feelings about Anzac Day. I do get the grief and pride for those lost so dreadfully , and understand the camaraderie of those who returned after going through it together ... and yes, war is a great evil; unbelievable that it is still happening due to the greedy and power-hungry.

  18. WELL of course we are going to read all of them! LOL. My favorite is the "This Poem Is" beginning each stanza ~ I have done several of them and really enjoy the challenge. Cheers to you!!!
