Invisible light, doth never shines
Darkness, from my window, pines

Call to me, I’ll venture far
Away, from every shining star

Caress me with your ebony skies
Blackened, let the spirits rise

Take this earthly pound of flesh
Into the dead of night, refresh

My demons, let them now escape
Into the shadows, we reshape

The visions of the humans, dreams
Replace them all, with mortal screams

Take them, slowly, through the gate
Fear not, mere mortals, do not hate

The pitch that pries you from the light
Take comfort, in the blackest night

For it summons you, with adjuration
To follow, into, eternal damnation

Sadie dazzled the world, but couldn’t recall

Exactly with what, though the crowds, she’d enthrall

Some kind of doohickey, she would make spin

One by one, they would twirl, from her neck to her shin

Sparkling metal that went around and around

Never did she ever drop one, on the ground

There was only one problem with her great skill

When someone would ask what she did, oh the chill

That ran through her body, she’d feel her face blush

She couldn’t remember, so she’d leave in a rush

Til one day she tripped, hit her head, nincompoop!

Twas then she recalled, her beloved hula hoop

Whirling and twirling, so happy to remember

She continued to shake, from July til September

The others would watch in awe, then with a smile

Sadie tossed her hoops, and went out in style

All day and all night, oh, the noise
From men and their powerful toys
Hammering away, and digging for pay
For peanuts, those crazy ole boys

Cracking the shells, a surprise!
We’ve struck gold, one of them cries
A taste to be sure, it had to be pure
But alas, they would meet their demise

Twas a ghastly affair, for these two
Covered in peanut butter goo
What they thought was a tuber
Was the dreaded ghastly goober
A nugget that was strictly taboo

In Cahoots with Chaos ~ #JuneWriting #poetry

Standing tall, upon the rocks

She beckons them to come

Circling yonder castle, there

Blackened wings do thrum

Banished by the reigning Queen

She seeks revenge, upon this land

Calling to her mighty birds

This crusade, so carefully planned

Watching, as they battle strong

With chaos, she’s in cahoots

As finally, the castle, to her calls

And she regains her treasured roots
