Why bother carrying that extra baggage?

You really don’t look ritzy when you do it

Instead use your strength for better things

Make a difference in the world, renew it!

It’s Friday and I’m feeling a bit silly. Though traditional limericks are often quite lewd & dirty, I decided this was dirty enough for me 😉


I once knew a guy, down on his luck

Whose feet got caught in mire and muck

Though he tried to break free

It was not meant to be

And so there he remained, rather stuck

 

Have a great weekend, everyone!!!!   ❤

Friday Fantasy ~ Sly of the Fox – #poetry – #whatdoyousee?

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”.  You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you.  More info can be found in the link below.


Two maidens, quite fair, with the sly of a fox

Take heed when you greet them, too near

Each holds the one which matches her locks

Pick wisely, or else, face a lifetime of drear

She, who holds white, holds the heavens above

Pristine and untouched, by mere mortal hands

She who holds red, holds the demons below

Eyes closed, she drips vile, where she stands

Cloaked as forest foxes, though, easy to tell

Who is who, they still have their ways of hiding

Do you really know, which one you have met?

Think quickly, there is no time for deciding!

People, who find the need to manufacture lies

Will quite often implode, rather than construct

What they need is an epiphany, a revelation

Tis a much better way, than to self-destruct

Walk
With me
On the beach
Twilight beckons
As the sun sets west
Taking the day with it
It is the time to seek peace
Find a space within our own hearts
That reaches out, comforts, and assures
Remains untrodden, like sand, at high tide
