NaPoWriMo Days 15 - 16


 DAY 15 ,,,WDYS...The Lantern and the Moon




you' look better when you're golden
a big beautiful ball sitting on the ocean
bathed in your magical  moon shine
too much contact with earthlings
has ruined your looks now pocked marked
let this serve as a warning to other planets



the wind waits in the wings and smirks
it would only take a small gust
to transform this picturesque scene
into a towering  inferno
that smoky smell
the crackling of burning leaves
a pyromaniac's  dream
 
DAY 16

TANKA TUESDAY....POETRY CHALLENGE NO 8 ...CINQUAIN





it's good
to have a friend
to share a coffee with
someone who loves your company
a lot

looking
out at the rain
cosy and warm inside
soon we'll be tucked up in our bed
sleeping

i love
my furry friend
my gorgeous cuddle cat
the only real friend  i have  in 
this world

  3. Cleverly penned trio. Having lived in Northern California during significant wildfires, #2 rings all too true. And the cat friendly one is just adorable.
