Each day as I pen another

I wonder what it’s all about

Do these verses I write even matter

Or should I continue to toss them out

Into the world I’ve enveloped

In the place I have chosen for them

Nearest, to my heart and soul

Where they cause the most mayhem

These thoughts are certainly not menial

There is drudgery, elsewhere, to be found

So I shall continue to wear these chains

To my poetry, I am endlessly bound

Nothing ever made sense
But in his own silly defense
He’d wiggle and pose
Though nobody knows
Exactly why he was so dense

No matter what anyone said
It never got into his head
So he joined a rock band
That played in the sand
Long enough to make him some bread

He became a star on the stage
From morning til night, he’d engage
All the town folk, those women
Whose hearts were abrimmin’
Came running to him, a rampage!

He had no clue, what next he should do
So he begged, “On me please don’t tread!”

 

Writing Prompt – Vermicious Knids – Day 3/31

On the sweetest of flowers

Lies the cruelest device

The stem of a rose

Has a thorn not so nice

But that’s nothing compared

To the plant of the thistle

One touch of a spike

Makes your skin start to bristle

Beware of their beauty

Exotic and raw

When you least expect it

It’s your blood that they draw

A Sparkle like no Other ~ #poetry #TheDailyPost

Glistening across the lake

Like a million fireflies

A sparkle like no other

From the sun which passes by

Shimmering in the twilight

I stood and watched it dance

The last of the glorious sunshine

In the water, such romance

Just look at how it twinkles

Like stars that light the night

Imagine that you’re one of them

Effervescent, pure and bright

Weaving Words ~ #poetry #DecemberWriting

Woven like strings

Waiting to be heard

My thoughts come together

In the wake of a word

Visions, set apart,

From reality, seem

Ghostly, compared

To my last vivid dream

Still I continue

To weave when I write

Those thoughts that awaken

Within me, at night
