Soft wisps paint the sky
A concoction of colors
In cloud formation

Time waits for no one, it’s just thrown away
A simple hour, quickly, turns into a day
Minute by minute, we forget before
What happens, when we want a little more
We sit and we wait, but it passes us by
Wondering how and not knowing why
We try to make it stay, a bit longer, but no
It reminds us it has a need to go
And just like that, we have lost it all
Zapped away, no matter how we stall
We’ll never believe it, though days are blown
Wanting only to remain, in our own time zone
October Writing Prompt – Time blown in the zap zone – Day 6/31

Crystal cloves, unlike any other
A little spice will enhance your food
Best to use them quite sparingly
They put you in an amorous mood
Just a touch, a pinch or two
That’s all that’s really needed
To turn around a boring night
Expectations will be exceeded

The gnomes of Netherland
Had a knack for stealing
Once they got into your garden
They’d send flower beds reeling
Sneaked in at midnight
Took whatever they could
Then sneaked out, come morning
Even taking some wood
Til one day they faltered
Caught off guard, you could say
They found it quite awkward
So, in the garden they’d stay
Turned to mere ornaments
To decorate the flowerbeds
These gnomes of Netherland
Are now American, instead
October Writing Prompt – The gnomes of Netherlands – Day 4/31

She could never get it quite right
Mixed the craziest things together
Fire and brimstone, all through the night
Eye of newt, pinch of rat and a feather
She stirred the cauldron many times
Until she couldn’t stir any longer
So, into the pot, she decided to climb
Thought the brew should be a bit stronger
All you could see were boots on her feet
On her legs, orange stockings of lace
Twas told her nectar was hard to beat
As should be, in any witch’s case
Bubbles made their way to the top
One by one, they escaped in the air
Esmeralda stayed, no, she didn’t stop
Sucking down her brew, without care
When the others arrived to sample
Her head was still stuck in the crock
This witch wasn’t setting a good example
She was drunk to the hilt, what a shock!
They tried to pull her from the pot
They couldn’t budge her, not an inch
Esmeralda now known as a wicked old sot
Best be careful, you could be her next pinch
