A Crafty invitation

Cut him open, just go nuts
Reach inside and pull out his guts
Cut out his eyes, cut out his nose
Work your way down as you go
Use a little ingenuity
And cut him good for all to see
Don’t be afraid to make a mess
Join the pumpkin...

There was a lady who lived in a Shoe,
A very stylish Shoe to be admired.
Decorated in style, every convenience
thought of,
And nothing else could fit.

Down the stairway, under the bed,
Shoes of all sorts and colors and styles!
Besides the Rainbow, add copper, silver and gold!
Pretty feet, a...

She stands there waiting
Chewing the cud and watching
for the dark rain clouds
Maybe I should lie down and
confuse the weather watchers...

Charisma
Character like fizzy soda
Charismatic bubbly citrus cobra
Slither like a quicksilver persona
Persuasive chanter of poetic chatter
He has the aroma of one who is
A chiseled chest square chin
Chilling mister chinchilla Casanova
And quite the master enigma...

It was really hard expressing
my artistic point of view,
When I found I wasn't crafty
in the crafts I tried to do.

I tried my hand at candling
I couldn't grasp the trick.
The candle wouldn't stand up straight
And it refused to take the wick.

Bob Ross's "Joy of Painting"

The leprechaun was crafty and cold
When it came to hiding his gold
But another watch to see
He was as crafty, as he
The gold was stole, and the man turned old...

Sea of grass
Hues of green;
Dancing in the sun

~~~~~~~~~


Mood swings
Dash of madness;
Daylight conspires

~~~~~~~~~


Sea shore tryst
High tides splash;
Salty sand caressed

~~~~~~~~~


Curvy tracks winding
Jogging feet trekking;
Trees sigh in the wind

~~~~~~~~~


Sky canopy
Airy shelters here;
Wet garments for earth

~~~~~~~~~


Noisy seagulls
Congregation expounds;
Fishy conversations

~~~~~~~~~


Moonlight excursion
Romance on the prowl;
Seaside rendezvous

~~~~~~~~~


Late evening chills
Prelude to deep sleep;
Healing...

Yesterday, I was told by a crafty fortuneteller,
That I will not have sex for two years in the row.
I immediately proved,  right there on her table,
That she was completely, in this  matter, wrong!...

Children like to craft things,
but then they start to grow.
Pretty soon they’re old
and strange things start to show.

Hair in wrong places
Wrinkles on faces
Bulbous modules
Bilious nodules

When adult children retire,
creativity often re-springs.
Even though they got old
they return to the crafting of things....

By the wayside path
Stray dog sleeps;
Dreams of creature comfort

~~~~~~~~~


Morning routines call
Song bird on ledge;
Cheery inspiration

~~~~~~~~~


Early rising
Voice of morning;
Cold air startles

~~~~~~~~~


Words spring to cite
Crafty craft surge;
Thoughts and symbols

~~~~~~~~~


Festive fare
Moon cakes;
Mid-autumn sparkles

~~~~~~~~~


Plumeria hues
Flowery carpet;
Pathway frills and spills

~~~~~~~~~


By this stone bench
Bird wing quartet sing;
Dazzling repertoire

~~~~~~~~~


Dawn hurls brightness
Touch of...

By many aliases they're known:
Crawfish, crawdads, mudbugs, yabbies.
They abound in brooks, and streams, and swamps,
As well as roadside ditches and rice paddies.

Their astacology has shown
They prey like scavengers and mobsters,
While some, more taxonomically aloof,
Try hard to pass as mountain lobsters.

Throughout the world as food they're...

With some of this and a little of that
Seashells,pinecones,snippets of lace
I'll put a smile upon your face
Create for you a special hat

Perhaps a wreath is more your taste
Or wall hangings for all your rooms
Ribbons of satin and silken blooms
This crafting corner knows no waste

Creating things...

Do you know anything about the various
Time pieces that are on different lengths
Of thin chain dangling from the forest trees?
Are you or some one you know missing a
Time piece?
Did people actually abandon these things? 
Were they stolen or did they become a 
Payment to some...

Lift lovely lines
Make movement mine


Time troubling tale
Set simple sale


Work wonder well
Time tumbles tell


Kind keeper knows 
Selfish self shows


Misty moon moves
Glimpse gathers grooves


Crafty craze croons
Blows bitter boon


Troubles tease time
Reap rustling rhymes


Petty plays proud
Lust loiters loud


Make message meek
Stretch simple seek

Downtown there once was a crafty lawyer
Egged his clients to be straight-faced liar
Facing the judge they fumbled
Grilled, façade of lies crumbled
He lost all cases, made money each year.
