David Crandall Poet Rhyme

Ominous Questions

Was it fairytale wishes that come in threes, 
or curses that bring you to your knees? 
Does that gentle, warm summer breeze
blow through bodies that hang from trees?
Does it waft the tinkle of a wedding bell
or the howling hounds of Hell?

Gershon Wolf June 11, 2025 at 7:46 PM 'Ominous' is the understatement of the year, methinks. ~ gw David Crandall June 11, 2025 at 8:05 PM I made a pact with myself to write what pops into my head without censoring myself. I'm beginning to think that I got the short end of the stick when I made that deal. I wonder if there's a way out of that contract. Maybe, I should have my head examined.

Panagiota Romios June 11, 2025 at 1:42 PM Oh, these are ominous , indeed! Our brilliant minds need to be told to be quiet)). Seriously, this is quite the unique poem, David! The third line, is ouutstanding. Makes my hair stand on its ends!FAV Pangie. David Crandall June 11, 2025 at 8:03 PM Thanks Panagiota! Yes, my mind sure generates a lot of weird malarky, like a barking three-headed dog - lol. I guess I'll need to buy a lot of dog food to get them to quiet down.
