Premium Member Catnaps Nursery Rhyme

Tom is happy to see
The hog of a dog napping
The sign says beware
Feline’s do not care
Throwing rocks at that dog laughing
Form: Rhyme


Caring

If to be cared for was an exit door
I’ve seen it open once or twice before
Affection and kindness hurried through
Never staying long enough to be true

Dense forest
I want to go inside
I want to keep it for later

This is now
There is no later

Cobblestone

The cobblestones echo the night,
The feet of those in search of the light.

Cute Christmas Couplet

Waiting here patiently under the mistletoe,
Lips pursed expectantly, hoping that cheeks will glow.

The Weight

heavy are 
the pounds
of a Black woman
torn down

much lighter
she becomes
rids herself
of some

her heart
unbound 
a powerful
sound
of beating
rhythmic
and calling
on herself
to keep 
from falling

Premium Member The Right Words

The poet, having found his rhyme,
may sense a shiver down his spine,
cocooned within a rosy glow
exultant that his words now flow.
Emerging from his self-inflicted torture,
the best of words in the very best order.

dust blown gold 
grass and mane
flicker

like thirsty tongues

lapping up
the scent of rain

Spring wears flowers in her hair
Sprinkles new buds everywhere

The Morn Arose

The morn arose in golden hue

A vision to make a mortal sigh,

I gazed upon a Turner sky

And to the night, I bid adieu.

Premium Member A Naughty Boy Nursery Rhyme

There was a naughty boy
And a naughty boy was he
For nothing would he do
but scribble poetry:

He took up his pen
again&again
Indoors or out
into his head
ideas did shout
Why was this so
No-one did know
like Topsy they just
seemed to grow!

Summer Sounds Good

Sounds of summer is such a treat
song birds singing, green leaves rustling,
busy bees buzzing, doves cooing

Domain

The king surveys his savannah
Confident in his strength
To rule, to lead, to breed
To take what he wants when he wants
His women
His food
No young blood
Dares to challenge

Kitty

My kitty for kiddies
Your paw for a hand
You've come to a swatting
where play comes to land

And wake up my senses
from pain to a scratch
When you offer me blessings
of play for a catch

Ria's Butterflies - Nursery Rhyme

Little Ria's eyes found
Butterflies fluttering around
Pink, purple and blue

She followed them around
Soft wind blew
And up up they flew!

Premium Member Yearning

Every year she waits for spring
A proposal…jewelled ring
And the joy that those would bring…

Swept by winter’s cold…to hope she’ll cling.

Abandoned

`

Tattered and torn
beneath vines tightly clinging
Faded with time
lonely hours still bringing
Memories die
midst a corner concealing
Abandoned dreams
never more so revealing
