Sweet Was The Song

a seamless design
intricate patterns
in harmony together

remove a petal
and the flower will know
she can read your  thoughts
carried on the wind

the full moon
beams on you  tonight
will wipe away your cares
sweeten your dreams
how do i know?
quelqu'un m'a dit

Tan Renga

night rolled away
the street sweeper's broom
deepening dawn sounds

he buttoned his coat tighter to
keep thoughts of her warm

For The Weekend

Three Word Wednesday

fanatic enchanting giddy



bullies are versatile
they can be as enchanting
as a floral tribute
reeking of
giddy fragrant poison
fanatically precisioned
when it comes to the cut




they can be sociopaths
cowards who need cohorts (apaths)
and come in all genders classifications
shapes and sizes
they do not work alone





they take delight
in inflicting suffering
on those
who are perceived
as threatening or weak 
for whatever reason

flimsy paper tigers
crumple
when confronted
and turn into bin liners

my heart skips a beat
when i hear this song -
thinking of you

Now is the Month of Maying

Shadorma & Tanaga

autumn's here
dry leaves crisp and brown
crackle crunch
piled up high
fun to jump in scrunch 
now is the month of maying
but not down under

we will wait for our spring
to do the 'maying ' thing
that northerners do
round now or june

it's time for our rest
we think it is best
to sleep like the bears
take respite from our cares

A Madrigal Too Late

M

all of eighteen
she was given a book
of shakespeare songs
still has them

never thought anything of it
never thought of the flowers
never thought of the countless gifts
the myriad kindnesses given to her

just a pretty girl
head in the clouds
never thinking
never thinking it would end
and that one day
never thinking if someone called her darling
she would fall to pieces
