She escaped the worst of it, she thought

Colored her locks, with classic brunette

Gave herself bangs, changed her attire

Still, she hadn’t gotten away, just yet

She laughed, when they all ran by her

On a bar stool she sat, happily perched

Confident now, she wouldn’t be caught

She smiled, as the whole town searched

Took on the human persona, quite pleased

With the way she had assimilated so well

Would she manage to remain one of them?

She had to be patient, only time would tell

Suddenly, something seemed different

She knew her disguise must have failed

They took her away, became belligerent

Down at the courthouse, she was jailed

Looks, can only be deceiving, for awhile

Eventually, your true colors come through

She tried to mirror humans, it’s better to not

There are some things, you can never undo

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”.  On you own blog, you may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you.  Then link your post to Helene’s original post. (Can be found at the bottom of my poem by clicking on What do you See?)


The delicate pieces of nature
Completing the puzzle of life
Bits torn to create anew
From bland to exquisite
An indistinct worm
Sleeps, awakens
Grace in flight
Flutters
Free

Never Simplistic ~ #poetry #FOWC #DWP

We are born with certain characteristics

It is purely by instinct, we make a choice

Empathy is important, but never simplistic

Yet needs to be used, when using our voice

A voyeur watches

Unaware am I, naïve

For I am his art

The Plunger Games – #MayWriting – #poetry

Whenever there’s a problem
We know just what to do
Pick up the phone, dial it out
Call in Jack, and his crew

Consisting of the following
A plunger and a wrench
If we keep our fingers crossed
He’ll rid us of this stench!!

Toilets always clog here
It seems like it’s a game
Still, it’s hard to point out
Who, really, is to blame!

The men swear it’s gremlins
Sneaking into the stalls
Such a silly thing to say
Gremlins don’t exist, at all

We can’t install a camera
Cause that’s against the law
Maybe it’s the manufacturer
Who sent one, with a flaw

It really doesn’t matter, right?
We will eventually figure it out
When the Ty-D Bol Man* surprises
And someone lets out a shout

Then we’ll nab the jokester
Who likes to stuff the bowls
We’ll put him to work, for Jack
Changing the toilet paper rolls
