A place to loll away the hours

Basking in the shade or sun

Under canopies of emerald green

Until the light of day is done

A sanctuary, a hidden treasure

One to keep you safe and warm

A place you can call your very own

Protection, from approaching storms

I marvel how you build your home

Each piece so carefully interwoven

And soon I grasp, just why it is

The reason this branch was chosen

Hobbity Bobbity ~ #poetry #MarchWriting

There was an old frog named Hobbity
Who liked to lay on a lily pad and bobbity

He’d sway with the ripples, on the lake
Basking in the sun, a joy to partake

He disliked the winter, and all the snow
Waiting for spring, to put on a show

For all the lady frogs, who’d hop on by
Hoping to make them swoon and sigh

But days went by too slowly for Hobbs
Impatient, was he, this old frog

So he jumped in, through the ice
Paid a terrible price!

Now ole Hobbs and Fiona hobnob

A Typical Place ~ #poetry

Something was missing inside this house
Sometimes noisy, it was quiet as a mouse

Perhaps they had left, gone out to play
Maybe they waited for, yet, another day

Still, the silence droned loudly in the tiny room
No one at the table, nor granny with her broom

Everything is tidy, but no one comes to see
This is where you’d always find, one big family

But times have changed, the kids all grown
Granny’s gone to a different home

The house lays still, collecting dust
The fireplace andirons, have started to rust

Where once, pure laughter filled the air
There’s no one home, there’s no one there

They’ve all gone away, and found their own place
Once a house full of love, is now one empty place

Twilight, on the lake

Nightfall sneaks in quietly

Nature falls asleep
