The table, once filled with abundance

Is now empty, things gone, in a flash

Stuffed and sated, we must take a nap

Caused by that notorious turkey crash

Each strand, strung with delicate care

Once done, she sits, and she waits

For dinner, to be delivered to her

Expectantly, laid out, upon her plate

She hides in the shadows
Blending in with the night
A young maiden in waiting
For her evening delight

She plans for her feast
At the edge of the wood
This pretty little lady
Is surely up to no good

She appears to be human
A facade quite believing
One trick of her trade
And her looks are deceiving

She thirsts for the blood
Of any human form
Then, once she is sated
She disappears, in a storm

She’s kept her mates waiting
For their dinner, you see
Tis not one that she feasts for
More hunger, like she

Hippos and Hyenas ~ #poetry #AugustWriting

I tried to hide behind this tree
And hoped that he would not see me

A hyena is no one’s friend out here
Especially for a meaty hippo, I fear

He’ll make me his dinner, I can’t have that
Maybe I should be trying to chat

With him, before he gets too close
Though he may find me quite morose

Instead, perhaps, I could explain
That I’m no feast, he should abstain

He needs more meat, for his thin frame
Go on, go find some other game!

But silly me, he couldn’t care less
And so to him, I will acquiesce

But wait! He’s leaving, yes! I’m saved
It wasn’t hippo he really craved!

Inky Adventures ~ On the trail of a mastermind – #JulyWriting

Join me every day at Noon EST for the continuing adventures of the bungling detective, N. Owl, in her quest to bring the mastermind, ~M, to justice!  If you’ve  missed any episodes, you can find them HERE!


After all this, enough was enough
The case had been extremely tough
I needed to take a vacation
Far away from the station
Somewhere that wasn’t so rough

~M was gone now, the case had been closed
They didn’t need us, so I left, unopposed
Packed my bags in my trunk
To get away from this funk
But whereto, I would leave, undisclosed

Far away, from the city and grime
Of having to fight all this crime
Had enough of the dirt
And that lemon dessert
Need to just relax for some time

Managed to survive Fred and Cory
And Mildred, well she’s another story
Then there’s Walt with the flame
That’s the name of his game
Now, cooking things in his own laboratory

Penelope, thank God, flew back to Perth
Michael has finally gotten rid of his girth
Swore off lemons for life
Gave them all to his wife
No longer looks like he’s about to give birth

Sarah’s back at the office, what a gal
She’s really become quite a pal
Saved me from those awful chains
By simply throwing her planes
Take her with me, on vacation, I shall

As for ~M and her girls, they disappeared
When the time for their trials had neared
Left a note, an inky indenture
“See you soon, on our next adventure!”
Three masterminds on the loose, oh dear!

And so ends this case, rather grand
Though nothing went as we planned
Still, there may come a day
But now, there’s nothing more to say
Let me be, with my feet in the sand

 

I hope you’ve enjoyed reading this as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it. Until next time, this is N. Owl, signing off   🙂
