Powdery sugared doughnuts
As far as the eye could see
I looked for one that I wanted
But I couldn’t find it, dear me!

There were apples, and jellies oozing
Out of the plump little pastry puffs
Below them was strawberry, lemon too
But that still just wasn’t enough!

There is only one kind I simply must have
It’s all my mind will ever dream
So I asked, and the lady promptly told me
Sorry, we don’t make Bavarian Cream!

My taste buds fell flat on the floor
And my eyes glazed over, too
They didn’t have my favorite treat
I’d have to try something new

No, I wasn’t going to give in
I picked up a doughnut and threw
Which started a major food fight
Leaving everyone covered in goo

The moral of this little story
Is never upset a lady’s desire
Make sure you have what she wants, on hand
Lest you end up in the pastry fryer

Since it is technically Wordless Wednesday, I opted to use a photo to depict the writing prompt for today.  (These words aren’t really here, since it’s supposed to be wordless  😉 )

Rinky Dink always put up a stink

Never liked it when ladies wore mink

He would yell as they passed

They ran at him, en masse

Picked him up, threw him straight in the drink

Cloudy Dimensions ~ #MayWriting #poetry

Like the clouds, overcast, against the night

Eclipsing the colors, of twilight sky

Seeking to cover, the never ending light

Which vows to remain, from the heavens, high

A swirling eddy, obscures, bringing in the dark

Yet, the brightness will never be finished

There will, forever, remain this spark

That lights the darkness, never diminished

Glass Houses ~ #MayWriting #poetry

Silently, behind the window
Lost, in a house of dismay

Reflective moments in the glass
She sits there, day after day

Too many stones, left upturned
Not enough time to amend them

Excuses made, in every which way
Shattered, as she tries to defend them

Emptiness, fills the quiet room
As she refuses to believe, it is she

Who causes this to happen, over again
Defying, her own inadequacies
