Dimly Lit Distractions – #poetry – #MarchWriting

Tags

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,


So many candles burning, no brighter than a single flame

Dimly lit distractions, another one, they’ve come to claim

Keep your eyes on the colors, red and yellow float away

Spirits, in the mortal plane, release hidden souls this day

Guard your loved ones closely, lest they be taken, too

When the time has come, alas, they’ll also come for you

Fear not they who visit, regard the plan they must keep

To gather those who’ve lost their way, gather in the sheep

Lead them to greener pastures, far away from hurt and pain

Then remind us, there will be a day, we’ll be together, again

He demanded a feast, nothing less for the King

A paltry amount, would never satisfy his palate

Soldiers sent, also fetching a pretty young thing

Tis then Queen hit him, with her croquet mallet

 

Word of the Day – Feast
FOWC with Fandango – Paltry
Daily Word Prompt – Fetching

NOT JUST MY VERSE, YOUR TWO TWO TOO! – THE NIGHT OUT [MULTIVERSE] – A POEM CHALLENGE FROM A GUY CALLED BLOKE.

Tags

, , , , , , ,

Rory, A Guy Called Bloke, started a challenge, to add an additional 4 lines to his poem about a Night out.

Not Just My Verse, Your Two Two Too!

He passed it to Sadje of Keep it Alive who then added 4 more lines then passed it on….

Eventually, it was passed to Walt the Tennessee Poet who then tagged me.

The Night Out!

Rory’s bit:
Quite excited l am, seriously,
Not often that my friends and l go out,
For a night on the town so mysteriously,
To have a laugh and a fool about!

Sadje’s bit
Though we have plans to go to town
But it is pouring down by buckets
We may go to see the circus and the clown
Let’s start the evening by first buying the tickets

Di of Pensivity 101’s bit
Oh what a shame, they’re all sold out
Whatever will we do now,
I know, we’ll all go down the pub,
Have a pint and some decent chow…………..

Paula’s bit
But I hear an unearthly sound
Along with fiendish laughter and howls;
I would prefer to turn back around–
It’s two for one monsters’ night out!

Li’s bit
As we turn, our way is blocked
By something large and yellow
He’s Big Bird – but his eyes are red
A zombified, HUNGRY fellow!

Kristian’s Addition:
And behind him appears a shape,
Woolly with some blood-soaked stains
The Snuffleupagus’s mouth agape,
Desperately hungry for some brains.

Beckie’s addition:
Jim Hensen’s eyes are glazed over
as he moves past Snuffleupagus’s slow stride,
every known Muppet is seething and foaming at the mouth
Where oh where can myself and all my friends hide?

Linda Lee Lyberg’s addition:
The only place to go was down the manhole
and there, in the dark who did they meet
None other than the March Hare and Alice
having a steaming hot cup of pomegranate tea

Walt Page’s addition:
Pornegranate tea is the drink for me
Change the Pom to Porn and you will see
The wonderful effect that it has on me
When you’re my age your reality is fantasy

Dorinda Duclos’ addition:
Lost in Walt’s fantasy, was little Jack Horner
Beside him, there was Jill, feeling rather numb
A bottle of Jack Daniels, empty in the corner
Beside it, the other Jack, with a bottle of rum

I pass the challenge on to Susi Bocks of I Write Her!  Have Fun!!

Creator of days

Awakens sleepy flora

Beneath hardened grounds

By softening soil with rain

Nourishing with Heaven’s touch

 

Have a blessed Sunday  ❤
