Premium Member Dotty Doggy Duo

Dotty doggy duo, daily derring-do,
descending leaves decorating yard,
Beau-black as coal,
brown-eyed batty Gus,
barking brazenly, bounding,
both bonkers?
a boisterous, "You betcha!"

Kings of calamity-
canines of chaos,
squirrels scurry for sweet sanity,
scolding silver September
acorn gatherers,
sedulously seeking sedatives!


Premium Member A Slice of Derring-Do

Tonight feels just right
  though the moon is uptight
Still the stars do shine bright
  There's plenty of light

And perhaps way out there
  roams a big grizzly bear
a wily fox on the prowl
  or a macabre screech-owl...

No, I tell myself, do not be afraid
  only cowards mistakes haven't made
I crumple up my paper, put down my pen
  sneak under the covers ~ fast asleep before ten!

Premium Member Emma and Deacon

Emma, Empress of Unicorn Empire,
esprit de corps of elementary school,
expeditious at exaggerating expression,
eagerly extending empathy of enormous embrace,
endless enthusiasm, exuberant existence.

Deacon, Duke of derring-do,
diligently, doggedly daily to delightful displays
of dauntless daredevil, destruction,
determined gamer, droll demeanor,
dearly dedicated to devouring desserts,
Dad's double, diplomat of Dreamland.

Premium Member Feet of Derring-Do

'Twas spring and time for one wee lad to choose

          Just what would be his brand new Easter shoes

               Now tight inside them, white and tan and laced

     Gloss saddle shoes had found him happy-faced

So, not one moment would he waste to muddle

          Then headed he, straight for his fav'rite puddle!

“Weeping willow’s silent wail …” — Poet


Dead of night
     thoughts of you
length and breadth
     our derring-do
love overwhelms
     flooding through
emotions swirl
     as I cling to you

engulfed in heartache
