Earth becomes hopeful

When blades of green grass stand tall

For a regal spring

Ginger hair, dressed in black

Darkness, drawn to light

She stands in silence, gazing

At the rays, that grace the night

Chancing they are moonbeams

She ventures, closer still

The night air, warm as summer

Yet, she could feel its chill

She waits, so impatiently

For a sign, to tell her why

The sunlight replaces darkness

She fears, the moon has lost the sky

Bad Habits ~ #poetry #AprilWriting

I’ll never understand it
Why men think it’s profound

To stuff their mouths with tobacco
Then spit it out, onto the ground

They chew away on a substance
Tucked neatly in their cheek

I don’t think I could kiss them
Their chances, are rather bleak

Why can’t they find a habit
That the ladies like as well

Like chewing bubble gum instead
I’d find that rather swell

So guys, please forget the chew
It’s so uncouth, and unrefined

Replace it with something minty
This, we’ll surely never mind

Mom sent me on an egg hunt
She said look for pretty colors

But all I really wanted was
My favorite breakfast crullers

She shooed me out the door
Told me to have some fun

Bring back lots of goodies
Enough for everyone

When I got back from the meadow
Mom said, Goodness! What a mess!

What happened, what did you do?
To your brand new Easter dress?

I tried explaining carefully, how
My basket became overloaded!

And when I tried to empty it
All the eggs inside exploded!

Mom looked at me rather strangely
Then a smile came to her face

Laughing she said, it looked much better
Then it did, in the dressmaker’s place
