Somewhere in-between

The hello and goodbye

There lies a subtle hint

Heard, in an everlasting sigh

One that speaks to our hearts

In ways, unknown to others

The one that knows what lies ahead

When we meet again, as lovers

Rude Mood ~ An Unromantic Tuesday – #poetry

It started out quite innocently
A conversation they had over dinner

Nothing was said nicely, nor eloquently
And no one would come out the winner

Name calling commenced, round the table
It got uglier as time went on

Each one got their own special label
The lines in the sands, had been drawn

Back and forth, it went for hours
Until hunger won out, and they ate

The next day, the misses got flowers
The next day, was one day too late

A Vow ~ #NaPoWriMo #poetry

I should really
be in bed
but sleep escapes
and I’m awake instead

Too many words
that need to flow
I remember when
they told me so

If you start writing verse
in every way
it’s all that you’ll do
from dusk til day

For it’s in the wee hours
of the night, I seize
as I let my fingers
stroke the keys

With a clacking noise
in the quiet night
the sound of poetry
at last, I write

Releasing words
of this, I vow
til morning wakes
tis my bedtime now

 

 

 

It’s hard to believe it’s the end of April and another #NaPoWriMo has come to an end.  I’ve enjoyed writing a poem a day for 30 days.  I hope you enjoyed reading them  ❤

Lost in Space ~ #AprilWriting #poetry

I thought April’s prompts were done

Then along comes Will Robinson

Can this get any stranger?

Oh wait, Danger! Danger!

Michelle sure has a weird sense of fun!

But I have to admit, I don’t mind

It’s kind of my way to unwind

I go to some faraway place

Where I can get “lost in space”

And be away from the day to day grind!

Nuka-Cola Asphyxiola ~ #AprilWriting #poetry

She wouldn’t listen when they tried to warn her
Drinking soda was no good for her waist

But she was addicted to sweet Nuka-Cola
She simply adored its taste

There was something about the flavor
The more she drank, the more she would crave

Never heeded the warning label
That sent her straight to an early grave

Right there, on the front of the bottle
Underneath the soft drink’s name

Excessive consumption unhealthy
Warning: choking hazard, it proclaimed

 

April Writing Prompt:  Nuka-Cola Asphyxiola – Day 30/30
Normally, this would be the last poem for April’s writing prompts, but it seems Michelle sneaked in an extra day…so April has 31!!!
