The Scent of Heather – #poetry – #Etheree – #JulyWriting

Pink
A field
Of floral
Beauty, thrives
In the sunlit days
Graceful, on the hillsides
Swaying, in the warm breezes
Ah, ’tis summertime in full bloom
With scented heather, creating spells
Which a man and his Earth find enchanting

I can feel your life force

Flowing throw my veins

Like the blood that rushes through me

Each pulse, a musical refrain

Lightning bolts, each dagger

Released by your command

A whisper, all it takes for me

To heed to your demand

Stroking my existence

I let you steal my soul

You, forever, my energy

As your power takes control

Harriet – #Limerick – #poetry – #JulyWriting

Harriet was just an old pheasant

Spent days on the beach at Point Pleasant

She was sunning away

Burned to a crisp, oy vey

Now dinner for some boardwalk peasants

Artichoke Hearts – #poetry – #JulyWriting

Tags

Inside an artichoke, lies its heart,

Though not the kind we like to eat.

Instead, it’s a beautiful flower,

One that will never, skip a beat.

We pluck these spiny beauties,

From the soil, to feed a pang.

Perhaps, look for something else,

Which will satisfy, with a tang.

Just imagine, if we did allow,

This vegetable, to truly blossom;

Oh, how colorful the land would be,

On Earth, yes, simply awesome!
