A Valentine's Senryu Poetry Contest
Tania Kitchin
bottle of red wine
dinner and dance lights candle~
a nightcap awaits
The little former
fledgling
led me on a
cat and mouse
through the trees
and to his house
there
by the moonlight
gave me a nightcap
for Christmas
and bade me
goodnight.
Three crows pecked away the heart rubies
from an ice cream coned childhood dream.
When the crows weren't gorging and preening
They'd layer black caw over all of the sweet dream.
These three hags, and I, have grown old and bitter together.
Forever taunting from ruby-stained beaks.
I don feathers from a fractured past.
Minted as trophies atop a foamy nightcap.
a dreamy night
I remember the nights beginning
a smooth taste
strong nightcap
to take the edge off
a sip of the joy juice
bitter on the tongue
takes the pain by the throat
kepted at bay until morning
there's a lot to talk about
not much remembered
abundance of hearty laughter
over everything said and done
I awake at dawn
measuring foggy thoughts
peering through cloudy scenes
from the night before
