There in the middle of perfect hedges
Sitting around the table, having tea
A family of three darling leprechauns
Conspired as to what next would be

Humans would gather later this month
To have a run through their walls of green
Of course, they would always get lost inside
And make the most unpleasant scene

Little kids crying, for mommy and daddy
Mom and Dad screaming for them to behave
Panic would set in, when they all realized
They were stuck, and would need to be saved

From the bushes, suddenly, closing in on them
And the paths disappearing from view
They heard the laughter of something unusual
And they knew not what they should do!

So, Mom, Dad and the kiddies kept walking
When, at last the middle, they came upon
They were no longer lost, though never were found
Tis what happens in the labyrinth of the leprechauns

Soft wisps paint the sky

A concoction of colors

In cloud formation

The hum of a bee

Whispering to a flower

Is the sweetest sound

Time Blown in the Zap Zone – #OctoberWriting #OctPoWriMo #poetry

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

Friday Fantasy ~ The Window of the Night – #poetry

Make a wish upon a star
See the moon glow bright
Little one who watches
Out the window of the night

Whisk your dreams away
On the gentle evening breeze
Skyward clouds paint the skies
And mingle with the trees

Quietly she sits in thought
Dear sweet child of ebony light
Watches out the window
Enchanted by heavenly delight
