I
Could stand
On the shore
Forevermore
Watching the sunset
My feet, in cool water
As I breathe in salty air
Letting it touch my soul, my core
Washing away, the hurt and sorrow
That, which has often left me, on the edge

I don’t know much about foods, in Yorkshire

I hear they make a really great pudding

Though some of the ingredients are strange

They keep telling me it tastes really gooding

(is that a word?)

In the states, we use things, like milk or cream

Then mix in the flavorings, we enjoy most

In Britain, they use drippings from the beef

Sounds more like it should be over toast

(quite absurd!)

In the U.S., we put whipped cream on top

There’s no way we would ever use gravy!

Over there, they use a  muffin pan to bake it

They claim, it always comes out, rather flaky

(I prefer mine creamy)

Okay, I say, I’ll give it a try

This Sunday, while the roast is cooking

I’ll scoop some goodness, out of the fridge

But first make sure, nobody is looking

(mm mm, dreamy!!)

She dances, as the full moon shines

Prima ballerina, is one, with the light

Her costume, flows in glistening lines

She is the maiden, of the lunar night

Stars awakening, to watch her grace

Blinking, and twinkling, above her

They are an audience, taking their place

Applauding her moves, how they love her

Each night, she dances her way back

To the circle, in the sky, she adores

Until the circle starts to fade, go black

Tis then, she draws the curtain, once more

Volatile Voracity – #poetry #FebruaryWriting

Fires flame the midnight sky

Lightning crashes, thunders by

Anger keeps her, at this pace

Feeds her hunger, in this place

Ravenous, the power exceeds

A turbulence, no one does need

Explosive, in her deadly task

Voracious, she unveils her mask

Fire flows from out her hands

Burns the ground, on which she stands

And she feels no heat, as the lava flows

For the night is, forever, in her throes

 

 

February Writing Prompt: Volatile Voracity – Day 28/28 Another month has flown by!! Looking forward to Michelle’s challenges for March! 🙂
