Whenever there’s a problem
We know just what to do
Pick up the phone, dial it out
Call in Jack, and his crew

Consisting of the following
A plunger and a wrench
If we keep our fingers crossed
He’ll rid us of this stench!!

Toilets always clog here
It seems like it’s a game
Still, it’s hard to point out
Who, really, is to blame!

The men swear it’s gremlins
Sneaking into the stalls
Such a silly thing to say
Gremlins don’t exist, at all

We can’t install a camera
Cause that’s against the law
Maybe it’s the manufacturer
Who sent one, with a flaw

It really doesn’t matter, right?
We will eventually figure it out
When the Ty-D Bol Man* surprises
And someone lets out a shout

Then we’ll nab the jokester
Who likes to stuff the bowls
We’ll put him to work, for Jack
Changing the toilet paper rolls

The breeze had become rather fervent

A chill followed, on wind’s blustery tail

But, I think it’s a bit more disingenuous

When leaving dense fog, behind, in its trail

#poetry, celestial, clouds, dorindaduclos.com, Heaven, love, Night Owl Poetry, poems, Up Above

Cosmic moods of fiery night
Swirl in whispered breaths
Envelop me in sweet caress
In your ever infinite depths

Rest upon my shoulders
Let the magic take control
Fly about in vibrant splendor
Guide me to the celestial pole

Taunt me with your voices
Low in a breathless sigh
Send me through this odyssey
With the clouds upon the sky

Take me far into the wonders
Exquisite with everlasting love
Ethereal beings traveling down
From the heavens high above

Presumed Guilty – #MayWriting – #poetry – #freeverse

Spare the child
For she is
Too young
To know the truth
Too naïve
To understand
Why not
Blame yourself
Instead of
Putting her
In harm’s way
For the sake
Of your own
Insanity
Spare the child
Your drama
Self-centered
Never
Looked good
On you
Instead
Thank God
She grew
Into a woman
Self-confident
Not self-absorbed

Stalking the Locals ~ #poetry #WOTD #FOWC #RDP #DWP

I would never bet my life, on a written narrative

But, oh dear, I’m afraid, that is exactly what I do!

Perhaps I’ll go abroad, yes, do a foreign comparative

While I stalk the local folks, for another novel or two
