Falling on Deaf Ears – #freeverse #poetry

How do I make you hear
Better still, understand
When my words fall
On deaf ears, am I
But a hum, or drone
You have so easily
Tuned out, turned off
Or is it you who simply
Does not care to listen
Muting the sounds
Too full of yourself
To admit wrong
Ignoring the signs
You need help
Or to notice
I am right
Here

I Have a New Group! ~ Let’s Talk Poetry and More! – #FBGroup #poetry

Tags

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

Hello everyone!

I’m excited to tell you about a new group I’ve started on Facebook called “Let’s Talk Poetry and More!

This group is all about who your favorite poets and passages are. I hope you’ll consider joining me, as we learn more about the poets of our time, and the ones that have long since past. This is not a group for self-promotion. I will be opening up the group twice a month for that, so be sure to look for those posts.

My goal is to be able to help you discover other poets you may not be familiar with, and learn together. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, or even answer questions asked by others.

I will not add you to the group. You need to click the JOIN button. We all have many groups we are involved in and it’s only right to respect your privacy.

I hope you decide this is a nice place to settle. Tea, coffee and cookies are always waiting. 🙂

Macaroni Madness – #poetry #FebruaryWriting

Tags

Everywhere she turned
There were bow ties in the air
Flying about the kitchen
Out the door and up the stairs

She didn’t have a clue how
They jumped from out the pot
Trying to catch them in her hand
No good, they were too hot

Slipping and sliding on the floor
She had to find an easier way
To get them back in the water
And stop this aerial display

It was macaroni madness
The likes she’d never seen
And such a mess, who knew
Macaroni could be so mean

Finally, deciding to give up
Drenched in Alfredo cream
Grateful, when she realized
It was all just a terrible dream

 

**I don’t know about you, but Fettuccine Alfredo sounds good to me   😉

A Fit of Pique ~ #poetry #WOTD #FOWC #RDP

In a fit of pique, we took issue with their words

We needed sage advice, from those who knew

Instead we shed the blood of thousands of men

The bitter act of war, is never the last thing to do

 

Word of the Day – Blood
FOWC with Fandango – Pique
Ragtag Daily Prompt – Sage

Sweet Kisses from Above – #poetry

Tags

, , , , , , , , , ,


Rows of puffy clouds, floating by

What kind of secret is kept inside?

Pressed up against an azure sky

I can see them, but, what do they hide?

I heard someone say it is merely the rain

Though I am not sure they are right

I sense a calmness, across this plane

Closer together, they gather, aflight

Til the sky opens up, with a heavy sigh

And the sunlight bows down, to the mist

Their secrets, are no longer held, up high

Nourishing my soul, I am sweetly kissed
