Just me, being silly. Can’t be serious all the time 😉


Hey, it’s me again, the middle of the week

That day a silly camel always likes to speak

Not sure, who chose him, to be my voice

Apparently, I was never given the choice

But that’s okay, see, he’s letting you know

Yippee! We only have two more days to go

Before the weekend hits and we can party

Consuming alcohol makes us fool hearty

Then Sunday ends and we start to moan

Going back to work always makes us groan

Soon it’s me again, guess what day that is!

Come on, you know the answer to this silly quiz

So, let’s count the days until, Friday’s here

When we can imbibe, on Jim and Jack! Cheers!

I watch the sun set, o’er the mountains

A breathtaking sight, for my eyes, to see

Colors of orange, red, yellow, like a fountain

Decorating twilight, with a glorious apogee

Perhaps the night
Brings darkness
To cover up
The tears
Ones shed
By the clouds
Though
Never obvious
I ponder about
Where exactly
They’ve come from
Who is shedding them
And why
Are there angels
Mourning the loss
Of a loved one
Bearing the sorrow
Unburdening us
Our hearts
A cleansing
For the soul
Now in eternal rest
Or
Is it something
Beyond the simplicity

Colleen’s challenge for us this week are the words Begin and Fresh.  Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!

Written as a Reverse Nonet, my synonyms are Create and Anew.


With
My words
I create
Feelings anew
Parts of my own soul
Entirely exposed
To unknown human beings
Who somehow find my poetry
Mirrored images of their own lives

Through high piles of snow, we lumber along

As drifts vie to stop us, our gathering throng

So, we become immature, trying to smother

Everyone, by throwing snowballs at each other
