FRIDAY WRITINGS # 192,....Poets and Story Tellers United

 SWOON SONGS

PROMPT WORDS
delulu, lewk, broligarchy



lewk at me
i'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
i've gone delulu
over yewyu
in other words hold my hand
in other words darling kiss me
i've got a crush on you sweetie pie
you do that voodoo
that you do so well

i feel like i'm clinging to a cloud
the mere idea of you
the very thought of you
has me reaching for the smelling salts 
you go to my head
like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
i'm jumping with joy over the moon
a meet  the carpet sensation
in a moment of swoon

as for the broligarchy
fly them to the moon
and let them do a business deal 
among the stars
hopefully there'll be a collision
between them and  jupiter and mars



A few readers might be familiar with these hit songs from the past in this Mashup Song poem.

How many songs were used?

What's Going On.....Rift

 CINQUAIN: SHADORMA: DOUBLE  TANKA 

a rift
broke us apart
can never be repaired
such things happen on occasion 
sadly

c'est la vie
life is full of froth
and bubble
rifts happen
there is no escaping it
yet life still goes on

we grieve for a while
but then we get over it
make ourselves forget
andre rieu helps with fun shows
i will survive he proclaims

me too i'll survive
music and poems are the keys
to my survival
spring is on its way leaving
winter blues and gloom behind

 CINQUAIN


tiredness
like a warm quilt
wraps itself around her
in a cosy delicious bed
deep sleep

MLMM ...Monday Wordle # 439

 

honey forbid pretend hover cold once try security primate practice alone dense

heaven forbid honey
you're so dense
try to remember
once bitten twice shy
stop pretending
practise
what you preach
you're a primate without security
alone
hovering
 about in a cold  cruel world

Sunday Whirl Wordle # 720


rugged weather still lingers
planes stranded on the runway
folk  fall prey to winter viruses
with exotic new names
wish the veil of rain would stop
pouring and bashing
with the speed of  a semi quaver note dance
molto vivace against the windows
the daily paper said it's the worst weather
since 1858

Sammi Cox Weekend Writing Prompt #430....Umbrella... 24 words



singing  with an umbrella in the rain 
the guy looks quite smug 
obviously he's from melbourne 
can't hide his delight at sydney's bad weather 





Sydney meets Melbourne

Friday Writings # 191...Small but Beautiful



his words
caring and kind
a lifeline thrown to her
when she was drowning
will always be remembered
 cherished forever
