Fire
Igniting sky
Sparks electricity
A turmoil between cloud and light
Scorching

When morning light begins
And says goodnight to moon
I try to escape what’s in
The house, this awful tune
A song that lingers on and on
It’s one not easy to forget
Sounding more like a drone
And eventually, one, I regret
To hear it again, I don’t wanna
It’s enough to make me dread
Kind of reminds me of Manamana
Now try getting it out of your head
Still my daughter sings to me
This song she learned so well
And all it ever brings to me
Is a headache, and a dizzy spell
Author’s Note: For those of us with children, this song was a staple in the house for years. The Elephant Show and its theme song was always being sung. Just minutes ago, I told my daughter the prompt, and yes, you guessed it, she started singing it. She’s 29… lol Never heard it? Listen HERE – Good luck getting it out of your head.

Human beings try to articulate their angry thoughts
When contacts are made, across this Earthly place
But still, we are not penitent, fearful, nor fraught
Even though we’ve made a mess, of our living space
Word of the Day – Penitent
FOWC with Fandango – Contacts
Ragtag Daily Prompt – Articulate

Welcome to ….
Not Just My Verse, Your Two Two Too!
Rory (A Guy Called Bloke) graciously tagged me to continue this aging process, like I need help. Below, I’ll tag the next victim, er, poet/writer, to carry on…with the poem. 😉
Once the poem [Verse] leaves my blog, the next blogger along can take it where ever they want with regards their own four line verse but always staying on topic.
Got it? Remember to tag another poet to keep it going!!
Topic: The Ageing Process
The Wrong Side of 40
Rory’s Bit
Oh!
How l wish, that when l was younger,
My parents had been somewhat bolder,
Concerning the ageing process and the wonders,
Blunders, pitfalls and perils of getting older!
Dorinda’s Bit
Wrinkles in my skin have begun to bloom
I dare not look in the mirror much longer
Mom once said, child, you can forego this doom
Honestly, she couldn’t have been any wronger
My Tag Along is to Walt Page, The Tennessee Poet
