Each day she would steal to the forest

Fold her hands in a silent prayer

Close her eyes, tilt her head up

And hope no one was listening there

The forest held all her secrets

Every day brought another to light

Sylvia’s past always haunted her

She came here, to makes things right

Silently whispering among fallen leaves

For autumn had come early, this time

Verses, only the knowing could hear

Her paradox, written in rhyme

Colors whirl, around and about

As the wind whistles quickly through

Spinning a palette of joyous delight

In a neighborhood garden, or two

Different shapes, some round, some not

Some on a pole, of bamboo

Always thrilling those passing by

With a sight, so beguiling, and true

Ashes Breathe the Fire of Life
Rising from Smoldering Flames
Frenzied and Fevered
She Ignites a Spark
Captivating her Claim

Unearthly Desires Swirl from within
Kindling a Blaze, Incandescent
Charred and Blackened
She Leaves a Mark
Her Fiery Heart, Incessant

She did it on purpose, I know it!
Put those gross little things in the stew
Tried to disguise them as potatoes
Leaving me no choice, but to spew

Carrots and peas, flying everywhere
Beef, shredded, more than before
Those torturous turnips, defeated
I threw the rest of them on the floor!

Partially based on a true story. I never ate my mother-in-law’s stew again lol

Clyde was a dapper ole chap
Donned in his favorite top hat
Lived in a tux, all year round
The ladies thought he was all that

Each one trying to win his hand
At the dance club, they would spin
Pirouetting about him, oh, so grand
Made Clyde feel like the kingpin

Dancing away, the night grew short
One by one, the ladies departed
Poor Clyde was left, standing alone
Feeling quite low, and downhearted

Until he realized what he could do
Yes! The dance floor was all his own
Clicking to the beat, step one, step two
Tapped his way back, to the Antarctic zone
