Felix Fineas didn’t know why

He’d always make the ladies cry

Thought it cute, when he patted their rears

This went on and on, for years

The truth, they would all testify

*

Yes, Felix had finally been caught

Though he claimed it was all for naught

Spent his days in his cell

Watched his life go to hell

Now dear Felix is quite overwrought

The Sunless Sky ~ #freeverse #poetry

Darkness, you are the night

That shines in ebony brilliance

The black that ignites my soul

When I bask in your pitch

Seeking the shadows, your eclipse

Cimmerian in color, distinct

Is the ink of your veil, and I

Your most loyal servant

Find myself, again, aphotic

Closer, to the sunless sky

Uniting as one, with Erebus

Captured in Corduroy – #poetry #JanuaryWriting

He couldn’t run fast enough

To get away from the crowd

Men with whips and chains

They really were quite loud

Captured now, he waited

For he knew his fate was sealed

Not a chance to save himself

So to these men, he’d yield

He waited, as they closed in

About to use him, like a toy

But all that kept running through his mind?

Good thing he wore corduroy

The melodic sound

Of birds singing in the trees

Brings peace to my soul

Centerfold Sensations – #poetry #JanuaryWriting

It was a rather strange sensation

When they told me I’m too old

To pose for the new swimsuit edition

Just forget about the centerfold

I tried to make them understand

That chunky is the new design

They just laughed, shooed me away

So I decided to fix them, fine

I sneaked my way into the place

Where the photos come together

Replaced them with my friendly face

Even dressed myself in leather

Imagine how surprised they were

When the issues hit the stands

Instead of a perfect picture

What they got, they hadn’t planned

Still, the magazines sold like hot cakes

They couldn’t keep them on the shelf

But I’ll tell you a little secret

I bought them all myself
