DAY 9

 

IN APRIL
what s going on

poem a day

sometimes two
falling out of her ears
autumn's here
finally arrived
all bad news
on the global front
thanks to satan
dressed up as trump
what can we do
put on our dancing shoes
dance away the blues

DAY 10

Moonwashed Musings....Weekly Prompt

a mirrored
soft pink sunset
smiling at a lake
the supreme artist

never fails to ignite
our gasps of awe

DAY 11.....The SPIDER and the FLY by Mary Howitt

FRIDAY WRITINGS # 172..Poets and Storytellers United

Nothing has changed in almost two hundred years when this was written. People still succumb to scams.

there are some 

who cannot resist
who are bedazzled
by charm
by compliments
end up on a plate
as someone's dinner
they are warned
they even know

of the likelihood
the possibility
the inevitablity
of doom

but are still lured into that parlour
WHY?

DAY 12

Tanka Tuesday Challenge # no. 7
Double Ennead 6 5 11 6 5....3 stanzas

a strip of colour can save
a miserable sky

foreboding murky grey and uninviting
a magical rainbow
transforming the scene

a tree stripped of its leaves
not much of a home
for poor little birds who are probably cold
in the bleak harsh weather
rainbows are relief

spring will be here soon
not so long to go
they will hang in there and dream of the sunshine
warming icy feathers

eating  juicy  worms

FOR COLLEEN AND MELISSA

colleen and melissa

ride a bee to work

you're riding it too fast said colleen slow down
it's the quick or the dead
said melissa loudly

don't trust a busy  bee
they are dangerous
get one in your bonnet and you'll be sorry
a friend of mine did once

came to a sad end

they got to work ok
had honey on toast
both decided to ride the dragonfly home
give the bee a  miss-this
time colleen's riding

Day 14

CINQUAIN

twin beds
were all the rage
in the 1950s
i wonder why- does anyone
know why?

SHADORMA

poor mother
typical of men
so selfish
uncaring
mums  put up with such a lot
why do they bother
