There once was a fish named Fiona
Who loved to tease the men at sea

She would move in closely, grab the bait
Then suddenly, she would, break free

Fiona, you see, was quite a fidget
Didn’t like hanging around for long

She’d patiently wait for a nibble or two
Then leave them wondering where they went wrong

The poor fisherman didn’t see it
No matter how hard they gave it a try

Fiona would never let them get her
For the odds, she would surely defy

Until the day, there came another
A sly young bloke, on the shore

He baited the hook, Fiona grabbed it and shook
Now she no longer fidgets anymore

Clutter ~ #poetry

Can’t find my keys, can’t find my purse

It’s getting late, it’s getting worse

Toss the papers in the air

Clutter, clutter everywhere

Under tables, on the floor

How did this become a chore?

Need to find someone to help

Where’s the dog and what’s that yelp?

The cat’s asleep upon a pile

I guess I’ll be here for awhile

The telephone’s ringing off the hook

No time to waste, no time to look

I have to leave, I’m out the door

I can’t take this anymore!

Shaken not Stirred ~ #poetry #MarchWriting

Aside from the obvious way this poem could have gone, I opted for a more relaxing definition 😉

Take one ounce of coconut rum

Add an ounce of orange liqueur

Blue curacao tops off the color

And things will soon be a blur

Don’t forget the cranberry juice

Then make sure it’s shaken, not stirred

Ice is a must for this little delight

This is where your words get slurred

Pour it into an old fashioned glass

Trust me, after a few of these

You’ll surely end up on your ass

Most definitely, on your knees

 

This is actually the recipe for a drink named Purple Nurple 😀

Hold on Tight ~ #poetry #MarchWriting

Oh how I wish this wind would stop!

Leaves flying about, high in the air

My balloons, try to take me, please don’t pop!

I could wind up anywhere!

Streaks from the sky, a sunbeam escapes

It’s so annoying, the constant glare

I keep moving, back and forth I traipse

But the sun doesn’t really care

I guess I’ll have to hold on tight

Let the winds take me where they will

Drink in the sun until it is night

Then I’ll complain about the chill

Watch out for a glass full of fizzy

Too much all at once makes you dizzy

Take your time, sip by sip

Be careful not to trip

In the loo, whilst freeing the whizzys
