Roast and Wait
If lies are told to save,
Will sin be judged at the grave?
Smile darling! The winsome homely,
You never change; your hair needs no tatting,
So in penury, your short smile you gave.

A Homely Place
A massive, arch-shaped hearth of stone,
old shiplap walls of weathered oak,
warm, woolen rugs of corded make,
ancient rocker, it creaks a lot.
Fire consumes thick maple logs,
perched low on a wrought iron gate,
cast shadows flicker on the wall,
on the dog snoozing by the chair.
All his fur must be decorative
since he always hogs the fire,
a brindle-mutt with gray

Homely Baby
My new born son is as ugly as he can be.
I'm offended when people say he looks like me.
I wanted a son, that is every man's dream.
But when people see him, they always scream.
Last week, a saleslady came to my house to sell a vacuum cleaner.
She started running when she saw my baby, you should've

Homely Appeasements
'You are what you eat', say the dieticians!
There is no escape from gormandising
I'm a foodie! It's aroma inflates my spirits
I once tasted garlic cottage cheese curry
In my dream, and my restive spirits unruffled
The next day for gastronomical delights to perfection
Home made bread, nicely buttered is a soul comforter
Especially when it sandwiches cheese

A Homely Home
I am home,i can smell the loud roses standing in a hand made vase.
I am home, my whereabouts no longer seems a maze.
I am home, on familiar and fertilized soil i stand. rooted therein .
Nets tossed out by my eyes,capturing the gaze, of the one eyed sun flowers.
The suns heated stare they devour.
On the

Homely Shores
The waves carry it on
And as it swims with the current,
It drifts to unknown seas
Where danger surfaces with the surf.
But when it swims against the current,
It’s thrashed and smashed
And broken.
But it finds the way home.
It’s you.
Though castles on homely shores
Have been washed away.
Yet castles can be built again
And wooden logs can decay
Trees can shed

Homely
Statetly young prince into a village came riding
Prepared to pay the price of bride that he decided
Hearing that in this village one such maiden was residing
In the village an uproar as young maidens were adorned
A feast was called and all the village brought new corn
Meat fit for a king to eat, dried fruit, a

Homely Hue
'Twas my decision to depart,
Delude myself I can't.
No flagrant town or cedar horse,
Scourged at heels to hasten.
No burnished son of Amon-Ra,
Embossed his seal upon my cheek.
Chased through channels I was not,
Beneath the Sea I went.
Prospect, guiling motivation,
Subtle was thy goading stick.
Naive were my intentions,
Quixotic thoughts of mastery.
If will could spur this planet back,
Would I my

The Last Homely Hourse
Elrond lives there
His memory
goes bak for eons
His daughter"Arwen Evenstar"
resides in Rivendell
She is as beautiful as the evening stars
Soon the elvish folk
must leave Middle - Earth
for the gray havens
But first they must
must face the
