I don’t know much about foods, in Yorkshire

I hear they make a really great pudding

Though some of the ingredients are strange

They keep telling me it tastes really gooding

(is that a word?)

In the states, we use things, like milk or cream

Then mix in the flavorings, we enjoy most

In Britain, they use drippings from the beef

Sounds more like it should be over toast

(quite absurd!)

In the U.S., we put whipped cream on top

There’s no way we would ever use gravy!

Over there, they use a  muffin pan to bake it

They claim, it always comes out, rather flaky

(I prefer mine creamy)

Okay, I say, I’ll give it a try

This Sunday, while the roast is cooking

I’ll scoop some goodness, out of the fridge

But first make sure, nobody is looking

(mm mm, dreamy!!)

She dances, as the full moon shines

Prima ballerina, is one, with the light

Her costume, flows in glistening lines

She is the maiden, of the lunar night

Stars awakening, to watch her grace

Blinking, and twinkling, above her

They are an audience, taking their place

Applauding her moves, how they love her

Each night, she dances her way back

To the circle, in the sky, she adores

Until the circle starts to fade, go black

Tis then, she draws the curtain, once more

January’s prompts where a fun combination of ~M and myself.  We challenged you to figure out who was who.  Did you guess?  Some of you were spot on, others, not so much!  The following poem is my finale to this month.  I’m still challenging you!  😉


Let me know, dear people, who was who, and how did you tell?

Some were done by little ole me, and the others, were by Michelle

We write in very similar ways, why, some even say we are sisters

But it’s a secret, I can’t say, only ones to know, are the misters

January, a month of prompts, blended perfectly together, by two

Beguiling or dark, whimsical or romantic, which ones did you do?

Alas, it now has come to an end, and February is calling my name

This time, it’s all up to ~M, so she’s the one you’ll have to blame!

A Simple Reason – #poetry – #JanuaryWriting

A simple reason was all she needed

To cover her face, and close her eyes

Sighing, with every ounce of her being

Realizing, this, was her final disguise

Staying well hidden, from the others

Who had intentions, for her, in mind

Men and women, alike, she had trusted

Most of them, she realized, quite unkind

Her only chance, at surviving this plight

Knowing nothing else mattered, you see

She simply would, disappear, in the night

Leaving nothing behind, but a mystery

Unrequited Love – #poetry – #JanuaryWriting

Where once was a door, is no longer there

Only bricks, and cracks, filled the space

I seem to remember, he, who lived here

Though I cannot, really, remember his face

Walking closer, I had to examine the wall

I really wished I weren’t so nearsighted

I, somehow, knew this wouldn’t be good

Then it hit me, twas a love, unrequited

In the blink of an eye, it had happened

The door that once was, had returned

He pulled me through, no way to go back

Tis what happens, when a lover is spurned
