The Night of Nin ~ #MayWriting #poetry

The sun set late, in the twilight sky
Stars twinkled softly, as clouds drifted by

I set my sights high, it was about to begin
The gathering of those, from dear Planet Nin

They came in the dark, when no one could see
Blending with the night, inconspicuously

Silently landing, not an inkling of din
Those three eyed creatures, were about to begin

Their ritual, for which I was privy to
The time had come, I knew what to do

Channeling my thoughts, I felt quite drained
As into their covey, I was ordained

Never again to be on my beloved Earth
It was for the better, my own rebirth

No longer buried, in my own chagrin
A new life awaited, on dear Planet Nin

She is My Comfort ~ #inspirational #poetry

I can hear her calling, in the night
A whisper, softly spoken to me
She always appears, when there is no light
It’s the only way, to make me see

Her ethereal presence, in my home
Though I know not, from where, she comes
Just a subtle breeze, whenever she roams
She always knows, when I’m feeling glum

Her sweet voice, floating in the air
She is my comfort, when I am withdrawn
Her spirit lingers, in a silent prayer
As she disappears, with the wake of dawn

Artichokes and Anchovies ~ #MayWriting #poetry

Tags

, , , , , , , , , , ,


Laid out on the table, for dinner

A plate of artichokes, and anchovies

Mom always scurried, around the kitchen

Singing her heart out, to Jon Bon Jovi

We didn’t have the courage to tell her

How much we disliked this combination

In fact, we didn’t want to eat either of them

But dear Mom, was so filled with elation

So we stomached the food before us

Though we tried to feed it to George, our pup

But he knew better, when Mom made this dish

He’d rather have dog food, than throw up

 

Author’s note: I apologize to any Bon Jovi fans, but I couldn’t think of anything else that rhymed with anchovy lol

Leathery Lies ~ #MayWriting #poetry

Tags

So many pages, so many lies

Leather bound and yellowed

After all the passing years

The stories haven’t mellowed

Dog eared corners, wilted

Covered over, dusty layers

Marked, the chapters, bitter

By all the supporting players

No truths were ever spoken

White lies, against black ink

Were written by the scribblers

Who never stopped to think
