can’t play musical chairs nor switch tables —

at a garage sale
tables of pre-owned items...
life stories and tales
in a motley collection
sold for just a buck or two

Promises

Promises are counts of time.

Stickers of truth.

Like fiddle strings,

So taught.

Not to turn tables.

Till the placid waters

Stems resembles worms
While coated in clear raindrops
Upon drenched tables
Sitting out in the open
Of an ever-changing place.

Cold water music
pond nymphs skate soft chord ripples
fireflys flash dance
lily pad tables for two
Catfish play hooky from school

Premium Member A Haiku Duet

Black balloon bellies…
Sunken red orbs peering out:
Visions of hunger… 

Tables are sagging,
Loaded with spoiled surplus food:
Empty stomachs growl…

Once

Once we were lovers,
            
             now separate tables.

Once we were reality,

                now we are fables.

Premium Member Life Gently Whispers

As a youth, the days seemed too short
  the months and the years ever so long

Yet now that the tables have turned
  life gently whispers a different song

Slow Down

Slow down and remain
eight years old and all squirmy
footie pajamas and dolls

glitter on tables
tea parties and teddy bears
and you weren't always busy.

Delicious Dishes

Tonight, tables took teapots
"Lumiere Lights" lit
Pleasantly, people pondered 
Plates placed
Across appetites awaiting anxiously
To try the Top Ten
Delicious Dishes

Premium Member A Terrier Turns the Tables

A Yorkshire terrier in Coral Gables
should be honored in Aesope’s Fables
When a brat stole her bone
she ate his snow cone
Moral: Your victim just might turn the tables!

Premium Member The House of Seventy Gables

I live in a house of seventy gables 
With twenty kitchens and as many tables.
It's good for both winter and summer weathers, 
'Cuz, in Spring, it flies - it's made of feathers!

Premium Member How will we put food on our tables?

Artificial Intelligence has taken over
Human intelligence is sadly obsolete and passé
~ Jobs will soon be non-existent!

I Am Happy

It’s good to be 
a red fresh flower
Bride holds me
Guests look at me
High table I sit on
What a good day
To share tables
With Bride and
Bridegroom, surely
This is great joy.

Another Saloon

In the club, everything is the same:
        Lounge, tables, chairs,
        music playing..
     Only people weren't
     the same... They went to
     to the salon, longing...!

Snake Language

The day is majestic,
So the passions of strangers.

The clouds are majestic,
So the diligence of strangers.

Majestic, also, is the moon.
Majestic, also, are the time tables of strangers.

You Drunk Mess.

Drunkenmess is like the turning tables of your childhood that you conviently forgot was good.
Regretably misbehave
you dig your own social grave.
and forgivness is only waiting from God.

Salt

I’m salt,
ionic,
on tables laid iconic,
abrasive, bitter,
savoury and,
consecratory:
Tridentined mandatory:
a quarter
of the blessings
from the sky.
And without me
in smallish lots,
you die.

Cat and canary at odds through the day A game of chase hunts his delicious prey But Tweety turns tables Just like Aesop’s fables End game birdy tweets, hubris doesn’t pay!

21st Century Nursery Rhymes 204

Rub-a-dub-dub,
Thanks for the grub,
Without the Lord no one would care
The father the son
And the spiritual one
The guardian angels of heavens host
They all make sure the tables not bare

North Carolina

A young woman of North Carolina,
Danced on tables at a down-town diner.
Serving Chilli-dogs and fries,
To leering men she despise,
This Lady deserves something much finer.

Santa Is Coming

Santa is coming very soon 
just having trouble finding things. 
the elves don't make those funny games . 
no cell phones , ps 4 , ipods or tables. 
looks like Christmas will be sweaters and hats
