Gossamer strings

By the light of the moon

My violin sings to the sky

Awakening crowds

Of birds in the clouds

Playing ethereally

My fiddle and I

Everywhere she looked,
The design drove her crazy

Paisley this and paisley that,
Why, even on a daisy!

She had to figure out,
How to block it from her mind

Of course, she could toss it,
But that would be unkind

She knew he loved his paisley,
Though she didn’t, not a smidgeon

Enough was enough already,
These things had come unbidden

So gathering them together,
Took them to Good Will

But the folks all knew
Those things belonged to Bill

Back home she took them,
Seems it didn’t go as planned

Fell asleep, woke up the next day,
To discover on her hand

The design she abhorred, painted,
All the way up her arm

She yelled for him so loudly,
She set off the alarm!

Waiting for an explanation,
He looked at her, rather plainly

You were the only thing left,
That wasn’t partly paisley

The Widow’s Web – #poetry – #MarchWriting

She counts them equally, on both hands

Her strands of silken threads, surround

The widow, they call her, cross the land

She’ll wrap you up, until you are bound

Capturing men like flies, in her web

She seductively chooses, which one

Little by little, their life starts to ebb

Til they are through, her job, now done

Still, no one has been able to stop this

She keeps doing devilish deeds, yes sir

It happens so fast, without even a kiss

Sated, until her next meal does occur

Clouds
Squinting
Against sun
Paint a picture
Of light conquering
Where twilight turns the sky
A deep shade of blue, beaming
Nighttide rolls in where bright once was
Covering the day, shielding our eyes
Until the morning is aglow again

On the Alps with his skis, was this moose

Grabbed his poles, down mountains he’d schuss

Worked his way, like a dream

And the ladies would scream

Specially, when he pinched their caboose
