Ten, Nine, Eight …

Much surprised by the calendar today. Valentines’ is less than a month away. I’ve thoughts to think and things to buy, there’s flowers and candy, gladly no pie. ~ I should be ready; it comes every year. A showing of love to make things clear. A poem’s expected and that means stress. My pencil’s dull and my mind’s a mess. ~ The time is short, and my list is long. I’ve much to do and can’t be wrong. I love to write but when I choose. When I’m forced I get the blues. ~ That’s much like life, at least for me. I’m at my best when I’m free, sharing a life with my best friend. We’ll laugh and love until the end. ~ She makes my life a joy to live. So something special I’ll need to give. These next few weeks won’t be much fun. Then again, I might be done.

Literally Free

Today’s my day. Maybe yours as well. It may not be heaven, but it sure ain’t hell. ~ There’s a chill in the air. The sky’s a cold gray. It’s my only day off. But there’s rain all day. ~ That’s O.K. my coffee’s hot. And my boots are dry. Adventures are waiting. And I’m gonna try. ~ My pockets are empty. And so’s my old car. I guess I’ll be walking. I don’t need to go far. ~ So, it’s off to the library, that’s always fun. Good friends await. And our adventure’s begun.

Relies

There’s a quiet in the darkness, our sun yet to rise. Beauty’s still in hiding, only truths before our eyes. ~ Soon the dawn will beckon, shedding the world’s disguise. Silence then a memory, light exposing the lies. ~ The world now filled with sunshine, always a pleasant surprise. Then we wait for the sunset, again to feel we’re wise. ~ By day we have distraction, evenings we revise. Sleep brings us solace, giving strength to ask the whys. ~ Questions fill our heads, life’s answers we surmise. Half asleep or awake, tomorrow is our prize.

Poultry Dreams

In the name of man’s greed and chicken feed, a farmer hatched his scheme to succeed. He’d create a chicken with numerous wings. Then, he too, could soar with the like’s kings. ~ Wings sell well but they sell way too cheap. But if he had more the more he would reap. He mortgaged his house and sold his truck. He kept his old dog who brought him luck. ~ His wife kicked him out to sleep in the hay. The breeding was started the very next day. Time quickly passed and soon it was a year. Most thought him a fool, although sincere. ~ With a cock-a-doodle-do he rose with the sun. The day would be his, full of pride, joy and fun. He sprinted to the house to fetch his ex-wife, who had recently remarried to start a new life. ~ They walked to the barn, after some yelling. The closer they got the more they were smelling. With the odor intense, the farmer opened the door. And with one big swoosh his hopes were no more. ~ His most wonderous chickens all flew the coop. And the poor farmer left with only their poop. The lesson of course being evolution’s not a race. And those who disbelieve get egg on their face.

I Will

I will be your king, If you will be my queen. I will be your tour guide; we’ll go places never seen. ~ I will be your army, when foes stand in your way. I will be your lover, each and every day. ~ I will be your soulmate, holding you when you’re blue. I will make you laugh, it’s what best friends do. ~ I will be your everything, we’ll never want for none. We’ll share our tomorrows, baby lets have our fun.

Pushed Pulled Profundary

In search of a new aesthetic, I’m waxing a wanning poetic. The ups and downs prophetic, the results sometimes pathetic. ~ The sun has now fully risen, I’m trapped in my mind’s own prison. Bound to a rickety mizzen, today’s breeze has yet arisen. ~ In blissful times I long to be, up in the clouds I feel free. On earth I’m just another me, sink or swim’s the rule of the sea. ~ But rules were meant to be broken, this cliché’s this breaker’s token. Pathetic penning awoken, though words are louder when spoken. ~ So, I’ll scream all day if I must, options usually boom or bust. Passion is both love and lust, poetry is and sometimes just.

Intensiday

Darkness shed, gone is night. Sun’s awakened, beauty’s in sight. Rumpled sheets welcome, there she lie. Again, we meet eye to eye. ~ Hands caress neck to thigh. Lips whisper, explore unshy. Nibbles ensue, all is bright. Our day’s begun; we see the light.

Imagine Resolution

The dawn of a new year, its light yet to shine. Seconds unresolved, awaiting times’ design. ~ The future shares no clues, the past our only guide. Imagination moves us forward. Darkness is where we hide. ~ Fractions divide realities. Dawn varies on this sphere. When your sun arises; imagine a peaceful new year.

Day 4

Head’s in the clouds, toes in the sand, love and laughter walk hand in hand. Horizon’s endless on a calm night’s sea. Reflections mirrored for you and me. ~ Love and laughter, the perfect pair, nothing comes close I do declare. It’s the freedom to howl at stupid things, or share a giggle when the other one sings. ~ One pumps you up, one deflates stress, love and laughter, why settle for less? Time’s never wasted when it’s shared by two. That’s why I’m glad to be vacationing with you.

Day 2

Day two’s now well underway, I’ve nothing to write, nothing to say. But I’m happy and that’s always OK, couldn’t ask for a prettier day. ~ So I’ll just ponder, won’t read the news, I’d rather be dull than shine with the blues. It’s time to reflect on all of life's hues. It’s time to relax, I’ve paid my dues. ~ But I’ll do something, which goes without saying, I am getting older, my hair now graying. I’ve a world to inspire, no time for delaying, just not today, after all I’m vay-kay-ing.

Morning Triku #177 ~ Running on Empty

Howling

There once was a spark. The spark’s now gone; all is dark. Time to e-embark. ~

Shootin’ Blanks

Reasons to pack heat: Security issues or insecurity. ~

Lost in Space

Opinions matter, Facts and truth matter more. Tomorrows tell all.

Whence

Arisen in the darkness,

blinded by the chill.

Each step an eternity,

a test of courage and will.

~

Visions now distorted,

the future now unclear.

My mind races forward,

running from the fear.

~

I reach for the doorknob,

anxiously I turn.

Searching for the light,

it’s warmth, indeed I yearn.

~

Autumn’s now upon us,

nightmares shall remain.

Spring hopefully follows,

returning to whence sane.

Ribbons and Bows

The season is upon us,

Christmas is almost here.

Trees are going up,

lights are everywhere.

~

Stores are getting crowded,

traffic’s now a mess.

Shoppers fill the streets,

more than I would guess.

~

Some lists are getting shorter,

mine has far to go.

But no time to worry.

I hope it doesn’t snow!

~

Kids are getting excited;

they know the day is near.

Adults too are frazzled,

overwhelmed by all the cheer.

~

There’re stockings to be filled,

then stockings to explore.

Goodies there are waiting,

a welcome end for sure.

Day 3

Happy Monday, it’s now day three. My pencil’s sharp and my time is free. Vacation officially starts today. What I’ll be doing I can’t yet say. ~ I woke to the drizzles, the air was cool. I made coffee and perched on my stool. I looked out the window, started to think; love and laughter, what’s the link? ~ At that moment I could truly see, my time today would not be free. I’ve poetry to write, perhaps my best. See you tomorrow, if I finish the rest.

New Beginnings and Finished Ends

Today’s a new day, today’s a new start. When feeling creative everything’s art. Today’s the day I’ll get back on track. Yesterday’s gone and now I’m back. ~ I wasn’t blue and that’s always good, cos when I am I write more than I should. I wasn’t too busy, I can always make time. It wasn’t mechanics, I can always rhyme. ~ I’ve got some ideas but scattered are they. I’ve got lots of words but little to say. But today’s a new day, then’s now the past. So write I must, cos today’s ending fast.

Fed-Up Back-Up

Mom’s always angry and I’m fed up. The kids are a pain and won’t shut up. The little brats scream, yell and they shout. There is no relief, not even when out. ~ They cost a lot too and always want more. I’ve tripped over packages at my front door. Something’s always broken and the house a mess. We need a vacation, I must confess. ~ A hammock for two on a deserted beach, with the comforts of home well within reach. We’ll eat when we want and we’ll get up late. By day we’ll frolic, each night a hot date. ~ We’ll call the kids weekly, just to say high. Then we’ll hang-up when they start to cry. We’ll bring back presents, two for each. But if they're bad we’re back to the beach.
