Lying in a field, of purple and green

The beauty of nature, like I’ve never seen

Captivating colors, in a bottle so small

Uncork the top, and let everything fall

Out into the meadow, awash in the field

The scent of the gardens, to this I shall yield

A promise, you must experience this

The glory of nature is, quite purely, bliss

Broken windows, shattered dreams

Within this house, invisible screams

Memories of those, now left behind

It’s so unfair, but life’s unkind

Pieces strewn about the halls

Crumbling pieces, of the walls

Rooms, in tatters, torn, disheveled

The forgotten ruins, of a devil

Now cast aside, this demon roars

Furniture thrown, against the door

Stairs that lead, to no certain place

A man of honor, now disgraced

What he refuses to condole…

 

…are the cries of every tortured soul

Powdery sugared doughnuts
As far as the eye could see
I looked for one that I wanted
But I couldn’t find it, dear me!

There were apples, and jellies oozing
Out of the plump little pastry puffs
Below them was strawberry, lemon too
But that still just wasn’t enough!

There is only one kind I simply must have
It’s all my mind will ever dream
So I asked, and the lady promptly told me
Sorry, we don’t make Bavarian Cream!

My taste buds fell flat on the floor
And my eyes glazed over, too
They didn’t have my favorite treat
I’d have to try something new

No, I wasn’t going to give in
I picked up a doughnut and threw
Which started a major food fight
Leaving everyone covered in goo

The moral of this little story
Is never upset a lady’s desire
Make sure you have what she wants, on hand
Lest you end up in the pastry fryer

Rinky Dink always put up a stink

Never liked it when ladies wore mink

He would yell as they passed

They ran at him, en masse

Picked him up, threw him straight in the drink

Cloudy Dimensions ~ #MayWriting #poetry

Like the clouds, overcast, against the night

Eclipsing the colors, of twilight sky

Seeking to cover, the never ending light

Which vows to remain, from the heavens, high

A swirling eddy, obscures, bringing in the dark

Yet, the brightness will never be finished

There will, forever, remain this spark

That lights the darkness, never diminished
