There in the middle of perfect hedges
Sitting around the table, having tea
A family of three darling leprechauns
Conspired as to what next would be

Humans would gather later this month
To have a run through their walls of green
Of course, they would always get lost inside
And make the most unpleasant scene

Little kids crying, for mommy and daddy
Mom and Dad screaming for them to behave
Panic would set in, when they all realized
They were stuck, and would need to be saved

From the bushes, suddenly, closing in on them
And the paths disappearing from view
They heard the laughter of something unusual
And they knew not what they should do!

So, Mom, Dad and the kiddies kept walking
When, at last the middle, they came upon
They were no longer lost, though never were found
Tis what happens in the labyrinth of the leprechauns

Soft wisps paint the sky

A concoction of colors

In cloud formation

Time waits for no one, it’s just thrown away

A simple hour, quickly, turns into a day

Minute by minute, we forget before

What happens, when we want a little more

We sit and we wait, but it passes us by

Wondering how and not knowing why

We try to make it stay, a bit longer, but no

It reminds us it has a need to go

And just like that, we have lost it all

Zapped away, no matter how we stall

We’ll never believe it, though days are blown

Wanting only to remain, in our own time zone

Crystal cloves, unlike any other

A little spice will enhance your food

Best to use them quite sparingly

They put you in an amorous mood

Just a touch, a pinch or two

That’s all that’s really needed

To turn around a boring night

Expectations will be exceeded

The Gnomes of Netherland – #OctoberWriting #OctPoWriMo #poetry

The gnomes of Netherland

Had a knack for stealing

Once they got into your garden

They’d send flower beds reeling

Sneaked in at midnight

Took whatever they could

Then sneaked out, come morning

Even taking some wood

Til one day they faltered

Caught off guard, you could say

They found it quite awkward

So, in the garden they’d stay

Turned to mere ornaments

To decorate the flowerbeds

These gnomes of Netherland

Are now American, instead
