Seems Jupiter hadn’t learned his lesson
Decided Venus was worth the bliss
Made his way toward her space
Got a smack in the face
Lost a moon, all he does now is hiss

Mother Earth watched it all and she’d had it
Remember, she had given Jupiter the boot
Once again, with a bang
He lost, to a gang
Of women, now isn’t that a hoot!

 

You can read about Jupiter’s encounter with Mother Earth HERE

A hidden cave, the wind, a rush
Where spirits linger, under brush

Some may show themselves to you
While others share a different view

You never know when they’ll appear
Perhaps it’s just that one stray deer

Who grazes, on the leaves of green
And every flower, in between

Nonchalantly, he will walk by
Then disappear, in bushes, high

Maybe you’ll chance a stroll, go to him
Dare to be brave, go out on a limb

Fear not the company, of those spirits, light-hearted
For they guard the shelter, of the dearly departed

Time Blossomed ~ #poetry #AprilWriting

Her photograph, faded, sepia tones

A rose, shriveled, now brittle and dry

Memories of her many loving ways

Made it harder to say goodbye

Time goes by much too quickly

In a blink of an eye, she was gone

Always the blossom, in my garden of life

Now the flowers are wilted and drawn

To have her plant just one more seed

I’d give anything, to let her know

That she is the reason I am me

From her love I’ve continued to grow

 

In loving memory of my grandmother, Nana Rose (June 1973) I love you  and miss you more each day.   ❤

Runes glow, as she summons

He awakens to her mystique

He feels her heartbeat, thrumming

His eyes wide, wings spread, so sleek

He can hear her chanting, intone

Knows it is he, she beckons to her

She sits patiently, waiting, alone

His growl, now a low, rumbling purr

With the dragon sword, she shares fire

As she looks to the gods, high above

He moves closer, to quench his desire

She remains, expecting her one true love

Unafraid, she knows he approaches

She‘ll seduce him, with beguiling wiles

As the nighttime sky now encroaches

And the dragon, so deviously, smiles

I have found the dragon books
Where stories are told, of chivalry

Dare not try to take them
For I lived these tales, so vividly

Each page, now burned with words
Every breath I took, now written

Makes me feel quite wonderful
In fact, I’m really smitten

With myself, these days, I journey
To find the rest of my family

Bound together by human hands
In some place called a library

I hear they have many books there
I really cannot wait to see

I hope they let me through the door
So I can finish my dragon tree!
