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She is my comfort, when I am withdrawn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

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

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

Nature creates art

With the body of a tree

And all its blossoms
