Even when she cleaned the house
She always dressed her best
Can’t answer the door to neighbors
Looking like anything less

She donned her favorite red
Black pumps completed the look
Vacuuming, here and there
Getting every cranny and nook

She dressed to impress, no doubt
A woman with savoir-faire
If the others talked about her style
She never really cared

Maybe she needed someone else
But there never was a trace
Perhaps one day he’d come along
And help around the place

So meticulous, in all she did
Never leaving anything to chance
She continued with the vacuuming
In the hopes she’d suck up romance

I hear the howling

A sound, growing

Piercing, window panes

The glass, shivering

And night closing in

I am, forever, a stargazer
A watcher of the night
The stars become my lantern
In the darkness, they’re my light

But there is one who shines
In the sky, such sheer delight
A mighty huntsman, sword in hand
Oh, what a glorious sight

Orion, among the heavens
His distinctive glow in the sky
A belt that shimmers brightly
Three kings, all seated high

Let him guide your journey
You can feel his woeful plight
But mind the tail of Scorpio
Lest you, too, feel his bite

Friday Fantasy ~ She-Wolf – #poetry

She glides along the bridal path
Through the forest, to the altar
Where she meets, her mate to be
Knowing, she cannot falter

A she-wolf dressed in satin
She is everything he needs
As darkness grows around them
They recite the lover’s creed

“Let no human come between us
We are one with the forest hounds
We pledge ourselves, undying love
As we stand on these earthen grounds”

He shines with pride, beside her
No others dare to encroach
Upon a lobo and his chosen one
Both now beyond reproach

As sunlight fades behind them
For her, there’s no turning back
She has given him her life blood
He has given her his pack

Insignificant Artifacts ~ #poetry #NovemberWriting

What once held treasure long ago

Stands empty, surrounded by moss

A pot made of clay, filled with dismay

The garden, surely feeling its loss

An insignificant artifact, they claimed

Twas tossed aside, thrown away

Til it returned to its place, adding its grace

No longer a vessel, becoming passé
