Tanka Tuesday

halloween

she likes all souls day

trick or treat 

spooky witch

gives her new broom a try out

meets up with old mates

danse macabre

she  just  loves to dance

with the dead

skeletons 

return when the dawn cock crows

till same time next year

 

John Williams: Schindler´s List Theme - Itzhak Perlman

 

 sadness

 overwhelming

 put it in a big box

  send it out to sea forever

floating

 

 

pandora

made a big mistake

don't open 

leave it be

keep looking at the blue sky

upwards and onwards

Ode to a Mess

 

 the lucky few

have the gift of a  powerful imagination

the mundane made sublime

no need to visit le louvre 

she wakes up to it every day

at the end of her bed

to the accompaniment of currawongs

and almost always a blue sky

beauty is in the eye of the beholder

we are surrounded by it

SPRING ...Syllabic Poetry Challenge no. 5

pink foxglove

in a maiden's hair

so pretty

a spring treat

fashion item at the turn

of the last century

 

 

 

 jacaranda trees

wisteria's rival wins

hands down every time

 

 

 a gift of beauty

in a world gone mad

our salvation

i wrote this poem... WHY?

  to promote this gorgeous cat's portrait

as wonder cat of the year

i pledge to support intellectual

well read domesticated cats

shatter the customized myth

that cats are without animation

just teasers only interested in

aromatic fresh seafood

cats have fantastical magnetic personalities 

are loving good companions

make the best friends one could ever have

every home should have one 

 

 

 

 

A German Shepherd, Doberman and a cat have died.

All three are faced with God who wants to know what they believe in.

The German shepherd says: "I believe in discipline training and loyalty to my master."

"Good," says God. "Then sit down on my right side. Doberman, what do you believe in?"

The Doberman answers: "I believe in the love, care and protection of my master."

Ah," said God. "You may sit to my left."

Then he looks at the cat and asks, "And what do you believe in?"

The cat answers: "I believe you're sitting in my seat."

Tanka Tuesday

 

 

lovely daffodils

heralding the spring season

a sea of yellow

 

morning walks

a spring colour hit

beautiful

imagine

a world without  flowers

a light would go out

smile maker

a simple jug of

mixed flowers

works wonders

in this horror stricken world

thank God for flowers

naughty little witch

dreaming up forms to confound 

her poetry fans

smiling away in the shade

of an old  oak tree (i think:)
