A fiery apple, she quietly lures

Outside the town, nobody did notice

To her advantage, she uses a spell

This gypsy girl, mysterious poetess

Chanting rhymes and incantations

He falls for her, much to his chagrin

She knows exactly how to charm

But the fairy tale would never begin

Anger holds her tighter than love

He is doomed, in the aftermath

Never to see home, again, he is done

Easily bitten, by the apples of wrath

This is not a fuzzy memory, like the vague from yesterday

There’s no jeopardy involved, this time I am enlightened

I surround myself with hope, all my sorrows, I’ve cast away

Welcoming each moment, with my senses, truly heightened

Friday Fantasy ~ Nevermore – #poetry

Guided by light, through the misty night

A ship finds its way, across the ocean

Bobbing in the sea, it remains a mystery

How it was brought here, on waves of motion

Or perhaps it’s the moon, makes sailors swoon

Unaware are they, of her alluring beams

Closer they come, until they are numb

Alas, all is not really what it seems

Still, the ship heads in, from where its been

Sails folded, as she glides toward shore

A crash, tis a sight, though try as they might

They can save themselves, nevermore

The Cuckoo’s Falling – #MayWriting – #poetry

Hanging upside down, in a nearby tree

Is a cuckoo bird, and he’s on an eating spree

Gobbling down Rambutan, delightfully sweet

He can’t get enough, so he uses both feet

As well as his beak, to stuff them all in

When suddenly, above him, his tail does spin

He tries to be cool, but his wings start sprawling

Usually what happens, when the cuckoo’s falling
