Flowers show their faces
Chin up, to the morning sun
Stretching, as a new day
Shines, upon each one

Yet, further in the distance
The snow has just begun
Newly fallen, it appears
Perhaps, winter is not done

Mother Nature, once again
Continues playing games
Every year’s no different
She always takes the blame

It’s how she keeps her stature
Tis her universal claim to fame
Else, if things were boring
You might forget her name

She’s a blending of the seasons
By using a touch of her hand
You may think otherwise, but
She has this whole thing planned

Her touch creates the wonder
We admire across the land
With her palette, full of colors
Things always look so grand

So, when you see the flowers
But, the hills are full of snow
You can’t imagine life, without
This amazing, living, show

Give thanks to Mother Nature
As you watch her beauty grow
Be sure she knows you’re grateful
For decorating Earth just so

(Heavy Breathing)

My dearest Padawan, I have something, just for you

The droids reminded me, to give you something blue

Oh yes, and something red, although, I prefer all black

The elevator’s calling us, let’s move in, toward the back

No one else will follow us, trust me, this is true

But should they get too close, they’re easy to subdue

We can be together, all alone, in this elevator

You can be my chosen one, and I can be your Vader

(Snickering laugh)
(Back to heavy breathing)

Take these flowers, please, they’re making me wheeze!

 

A little levity on this day of passion and love!  😉  This was my original poem for ~M’s challenge.  Then I just made it silly lol  ❤

The Tree and She – #poetry – #JanuaryWriting

She set out, across the desert sands
Gathering nature, with her hands

Not wanting to leave, any behind
Heard life on Earth, could be so unkind

Carefree, following behind her, in tow
Were butterflies fluttering, to and fro

Flowers that blossomed, on one side
The clouds, ablaze, in orange skies

Everything she found, was simply a beauty
Knowing inside, this was her rightful duty

To bring back all, they didn’t have there
Saving from humans, who just didn’t care

Though, left behind, near grass, was a tree
Which had no leaves, nor birds to see

Twas the only thing, she could not carry
Though try, she did, but to the contrary

The tree did not want to go, nor gather
So, it stayed in its own place, and rather

Didn’t follow the lass, from land to land
Hoping one day, she would understand

Why he had stayed there, in the blazing sun
Who’d tell about trees, if there were none?

The colors of fall

Russet and orange adorn

Flecks of gold petals

Now gathered, in a bouquet

Keeping autumn’s presence near

Peculiar Pansies and Paths ~ #poetry #DecemberWriting

30 Sunday Dec 2018

These were not just ordinary flowers
Quite peculiar in an eerie sort of way
The more I looked at them, I knew
This wasn’t the place, for me, today

Faces started popping out, before me
Their clown-like grins, made me shiver
How could something so beautiful
Make my whole body quake and quiver!

I took off, down an odd shaped path
Hoping those purple pansies didn’t follow
Saddened, because I had left so quickly
But nothing here could make me wallow

I was afraid, to look over my shoulder
For fear I’d see an evil, floral parade
So, I kept walking, along the odd path
While, in the garden, the flowers stayed

 

December Writing Prompt – Planter boxes of peculiar looking pansies, lined the odd shaped path – Day 30/31
