In a quaint little coffee shop, across the street

The town folk get together, to have a little treat

Every morning, like clockwork, they arrive at eight

To get their favorites, from a gal, they call her Kate

Now, let me tell you a bit, about this dear ole lady

Some folks say her coffee’s, tasting kind of shady

They claim it has a hint of peach, just a bit fruity

But Kate says no, it can’t be, blaming it on Judy!

The folks suspect, they’re in cahoots, those two

Even the tea was off, smelled like hazelnuts, eew!

Seems the lovely ladies, had been having some fun

Switching up the drinks, before the day was done

They began to laugh, thinking they had pulled a gem

Until the folks, tossed the drinks, right back at them

She is living proof
Animals know compassion
For she has taken
Another as her own true
Keeping it warm in the night

There is no struggle
Nor is there disparity
Where love conquers all

Everywhere she turned
There were bow ties in the air
Flying about the kitchen
Out the door and up the stairs

She didn’t have a clue how
They jumped from out the pot
Trying to catch them in her hand
No good, they were too hot

Slipping and sliding on the floor
She had to find an easier way
To get them back in the water
And stop this aerial display

It was macaroni madness
The likes she’d never seen
And such a mess, who knew
Macaroni could be so mean

Finally, deciding to give up
Drenched in Alfredo cream
Grateful, when she realized
It was all just a terrible dream

 

**I don’t know about you, but Fettuccine Alfredo sounds good to me   😉

Colorful Mischief – #poetry #FebruaryWriting

She loves to play with billowy blobs

Quite an artist, though no one will say

What she captures, in painted globs

Is devious, in a most mischievous way

Allowing you to see, only part of her

She can hide the most hideous things

Like the one thing she does, most concur

Is setting traps that make the men sing

She mesmerizes, with a flash of green

Throws colors about, a devil-may-care

Women say, she is simply obscene

But not to her face, they wouldn’t dare

Laughing, as she lures them farther away

She is a siren, from the sea, her realm

She need do nothing to make them stray

When her colors fly about, they overwhelm

A Splattered Canvas – #freeverse #FebruaryWriting

Human beings
are a jumbled mess of colors
In a world
photographed in black and white
We try to lend
our own unique palette
Always ending up
distorted, pixelated

Showing off,
for all the others, in contrast
To the normalcy
often contributed to empty
Spaces, where
we insert ourselves, uninvited

Places, we do not belong
often causing
The misconception
we do not care
If we do or don’t
Will it really matter?

We paint our souls
with no regard for lines
Often finding we
are so abstract, apart
Even the easiest assembly
cannot happen
Without it becoming
a splattered canvas

Where the artists compete
and no one wins
