By happenstance a mansion appeared
within the car’s peripheral view;
They should have seen so subtle a clue
the moment the moonlight disappeared;
Walking right into a planned sequence
the scarlet phrase had to stay hidden;
Committing murder is forbidden,
this crime’s the ultimate self defense;
Arrived for a Black and White party,
never saw the library in blood;
Heavy body fell with a hard thud
amidst all the wine and pageantry;
Ebony gowns and ivory bow ties
nip at a meal and will waltz of course;
Holding hands in butterfly discourse
someone’s words are really twisted lies;
Antique design on that candlestick
matched the handle of the revolver;
A convoluted problem solver,
still what other option could she pick?
If the details were disclosed in full
maybe some would understand motive;
Retaliation we can forgive;
Abusing your spouse is disgraceful;
She took matters into her own hands
pain tolerance reached it’s lowest point;
Listener the victim could anoint,
can’t reach out if noone understands;
Tired of people turning a blind eye
when it’s clear someone is suffering;
Peacock, mustard, and green bruising
makes it easy to play the bad guy;
Conclusion of this clandestine plot?
It now can be labeled a success;
A woman no longer in distress,
the deserving just acquired a kill shot.
If you had just one last wish
Before crossing that final thresh hold
Tell me what would it be?
Would you spend your final hours
On a beach enjoying the Florida sunshine?
Perhaps wrapped the arms of
A beautiful shapely model?
Or maybe enjoying an expensive meal
Fit for a king with barrels of champagne
And all the food you've ever wished for
But could never afford
OR would you just simply like be surrounded
By friends and loved ones
To say goodbye and tell them how much
They have always meant to you
I though so!

It's couplet time but I am shy one person short of a couple.
If I don't find a partner soon, I'm going to be in trouble.
I understand they call the term "set in their ways".
Or content to be on my own, oh happy days.
For too long now I've ruled my roost and jumped into my car.
Whenever the notion takes me to drive near or far.
Especially now the kids are grown and living far afield.
I can make an excuse to visit them and drop in for a meal.
Couples are nice to look at from a distance now I find.
I no longer wish I had a he who I was his and he was mine.
Dining out is so passe, I much prefer to eat at home.
Or even order take out, by simply lifting the phone.
My couple days are over, I'm a born again spinster now.
Roll on rockin' retirement, who needs a man anyhow?

Now entered in TAKE THE DAGGER FROM MY HEART contest by Broken Wings
By Deb and Dane
“You need to eat real greens.” Mom alarm!
The child went for the ‘ucky Charms.
“What? You're eating sugar transformed!”
They don’t grow that on any farm!”
“You need to eat real greens.” Mom said.
Boyo reached for the Charms instead.
“But Ma. The box says it full of vitamins!”
“Better be! It wasn’t laid by hens!”
“That cereal is nothing but sugar, honey.
Companies sell it to makes lots of money.”
“Then, why’d Dad buy it for the house?
Did you plan to feed it to the mouse?”
“You need to eat garden-fresh food.
You know; been told, I’m in NO mood.”
“PLEASE, Ma! Charms and milk won’t cause harm!
Milk does come from a dairy farm”
“’ucky Charms might be a nice snack,
But meals must be nutrition packed.”
“You eat lots of Charms, zap! It seems.
More vitamins than ‘ucky greens!
Three bowls downed were his tasty meal.
Out like a light, he seemed to reel.
(Sugar shock set in, burnt him out.)
He woke SO sick. Was there a doubt?
“We’re going to the Doctor now!
Mother said shouting "Holy Cow!"
He’ll give you a little pink pill.
To cure ALL your rambunctious ills
(Rushed to the doctor for some help.)
Sick as a
dog was this young whelp.
Dad had to pay for ‘ucky Charms
Boyo paid for not eating FARM!
Corps. got paid, pill and cereal.
Doc. got paid insurance by deal.
Round and round so this story goes.
EAT RIGHT and you'll stop THEIR green flow.
In our hug
My body shakes
As it strikes me
That this is the last.
This is goodbye.
No sleepovers
That fill the house
With endless screeching,
Inside jokes and continuous laughter.
No horror movies
Encouraging the thrills and scares
While one sits upright,
Unaffected by the terrors adorning the screen.
No pillow fights forced upon us
As the other grabs a pillow and starts hitting,
A constant repetition of ‘pillow fight’
Until they can’t breathe.
No painting nails or the face masks that never got done.
No outings together
Where exploration is done, pictures are snapped
And enjoyment is had.
No more fights for the front seat
That end with one winner.
No dumb jokes from me
That is followed by one laugh;
The only appreciator of the terrible humour.
Family gatherings of that side
Will never be the same.
There will be dread as we go
Because there are cliques within
And ours has been snatched from our grasp.
No more dishing of drama
From the tea fairy herself.
We had our last sleepover,
One final outing was missed
But the clique was together
At that last family gathering
Of a big celebration.
The last of the tea
Had been dished to the group.
One final meal
And the last in-person hug
As we bid them goodbye
With tears in our eyes.
Its goodbye
To another set of cousins.
Now its our turn.
Breezy balmy zephyr
Whistling through your hair;
Sparkling sunburst
~~~~~~~~~
Waltzing on the breeze
Lady with parasol;
Sunscreen stroll
~~~~~~~~~
Old friends meeting
Chat over lunch;
Journey update
~~~~~~~~~
Words in brief entry
Journey journal;
Vivid self-talk
~~~~~~~~~
Afternoon siesta
Drowsy with sweet talk;
Somnolence loiters
~~~~~~~~~
Charming manners preside
Good nature speaks;
Gentle murmurings
~~~~~~~~~
Listen calmly
My lovely heart knows;
Details unnecessary
~~~~~~~~~
Magic moments --
Nothing unusual really,
Simple agendas attend
~~~~~~~~~
And when you look
Do you see me;
Pretty blue flower
~~~~~~~~~
Bamboo garden
Stray wind ruffles leaves;
Raindrops slide
~~~~~~~~~
Pen and blank paper
Ink stains converge;
Word art fashions
~~~~~~~~~
Fine line sketches
Glimpses in a swirl;
Frozen images
~~~~~~~~~
Art in sure craft
Draft after draft;
Emotional
~~~~~~~~~
Sense a new sight
Broad strokes highlight;
Mood tinctures
~~~~~~~~~
Old friends meet
Share a meal;
Surprising moments
~~~~~~~~~

Do you say grace at your meal?
giving thanks to God for your food
recognizing that the Lord provided it
being God who does everything good
God the great creator in the beginning
having made all with His hands
showing all we have is from Him
all the world created in all the lands
Have a think about how food came
everything has a beginning from a seed
that seed grows and grows and grows
all originated by God, all His creed
It's funny how when given a gift
we quite easily can say thank you
but when given no end of gifts
speechless we become, words are few
So let's give our grace always to God
for all we have comes from our provider
be grateful and thankful from our heart
prayerfully looking to your divine minder!
Rocky, high lofty mountains do stand tall and
boisterous waves continuously applaud
The rooster crows to commence:
musicians of dolphins, humpbacks and orcas,
vibe with sonic vibrations and
voice their vocal orchestras
Ravens, seagulls and doves chirp the song
The sly rattler rattles his noisy instrument
Crickets click a cool jazzy beat
Mr. grand waterfall has a cascade of steady water tunes
Two love-struck pigeons are dancing in sequence
A gazelle leaps over an enormous rock
A nifty lion roars over a raw hearty meaty meal
There in a meadow, young puppies are barking
a screechy and a pretentious bark
Flowers beautify the landscape: to see
roses, lilies, orchids, impatiens, tulips,
marigolds and lovely violets
They a natural soft colorful prism arrayed
The hills and valleys are unfolding its beauty
Two strong stallion horses are elated
showing their mighty strength
leaping in the air with their hind legs and
hooves kicking
A myriad of fruity fruits are in abundance
and diverse foods favors for taste buds pleasures
like are grapes, oranges, and watermelons
The green trees are spreading out their green leaf branches
giving out; a cool natural shade to all earthly creatures
All people in the world with understanding are rejoicing
and attending. They shouting out praises
and benefiting that of "Earth Praises"
We are a married couple
Loving the married life.
We’ve had our share of kids,
And we share a wonderful life.
We are older than you think,
And younger than you feel.
Tabitha is such a great cook
I have never missed a meal.
Now that we’re both retired,
and we take care of family to.
We are really enjoying life,
with a few house chores to do.
I love my wonderful wife
for she is trouble enough,
she takes her time with me
because...
I don’t like it rough.
We live in a nice house
we have her own cars to.
Tabitha likes helps me
write poetry
When she has a mind too.
We write poetry
from our own point of view,
if you take your time
and add a bit of heart ,
you can write poetry to.
Christmas for me means, beautiful Christmas trees blinking,
Going for a wintery walk looking at houses brightly decorated;
Keeping the kitty from playing with my sparkling decorations,
Listening to Christmas music and singing along in a loud voice.
Visiting the old and the helping to poor, giving of myself,
Getting together with friends for some Christmas cheer;
Having a meal with the family, forgetting my diet until next year.
Remembering the Christmases from my past and the happiness.
Christmas for me means, watching the children so happy,
Thinking of those in my city less fortunate at Christmas time;
Volunteering at the soup kitchen on Christmas Day each year,
And although Christmas is sad for me, I love seeing the joy.
