Visitor

She waits by the lake

He returns

Unaware

She returns, into the depths

Dragging him along

The Lost Follows ~ #poetry about #WordPress #updates

Tags

, , , , , , , , , ,


Where once I followed many blogs, tis not the case today

Seems WordPress played around again, let some get away

Wondering why, I couldn’t see their posts, in my reader

Clicked the link on my desktop, no follow, WP, the ringleader

Perhaps it might be favorable, to beta test an update, before

You apply it to all of us, and send us “flying” out the door

Now I have to go back, try to remember who I’m missing

I promise you it wasn’t me, who started all this dissing!

So if you’ve missed me in your feed, take a look to see

If the Follow is a blasé grey, then, please click it, just for me!

 

Dear Lord, what a mess!!!  I couldn’t understand why I was missing so many of you in my reader, until The Haunted Wordsmith pointed out she had lost so many blogs she follows!!  Enough already!  leave the stuff that works ALONE!

Gremlins and the Girl Scout – #poetry – #AprilWriting – #NaPoWriMo

Sneaking up behind her, just as quietly as could be

Some gremlins come a ‘calling, for those cookies

They don’t want to scare her, so, patiently, they wait

Perhaps, she’ll notice them, or else it be too late

These little guys are hungry, she’s an impediment

Sweets are all they need, for a little nourishment

They have to grab the box, then safely get away

Hoping she won’t chase them, they don’t want to play

Still, she doesn’t see them, the closer they become

Almost there, not too much more, to steal a cookie crumb

No, they say, they want it all, of this they have no doubt

And so this ends the tale, of the gremlins and Girl Scout

Anchors Away! ~ #poetry #WOTD #FOWC #RDP

Whilst riding along, on the ferry, cross stream

With a captain, quite cavalier, and in his prime

Into the dock, we crashed, which created a scene

Seems the captain forgot, to drop anchor, on time

#RomanticTuesday ~ Come Lie With Me – #freeverse #poetry

Tags

Come lie with me
Among the wildflowers
Fragrant with the promise
Of mornings first light

Come lie with me
As sunlight dances upon us
Under skies of blue
And faceless clouds

Come lie with me
Amidst the moonlit shadows
Gently caressing the night
A fantasy of stars
Dancing in the heavens

Come lie with me
And dream
Of yesterdays and wildflowers
Of sunlight and clouds
Of moonlight and stars
And tomorrows yet to come
