We know the secret to winning
The sweet fennel sausage with
sweet relish and eggnog yeast rolls.
The toll of the roll
with caramelized onions
The dungeon were the tomato's
Ripen is scrubbing
Perfect lettuce ooh the sweet relish
Is it delish love your relish
Peggy rolls takes the tolls to another
Level
Sausage sammish and fries damn I
Love your sandwich
Oniony buttered rolls
Like a grill cheese sandwich
I am in love you know
I gotta have it
Tickle me
I am your fool
Staula
The perfect fool
Cheese me up
To a whole new level
Feenl sweet
A seductive devil
The spicy red pepper flakes
Oh foo goodness sakes
We gotta good thang
Going on
It's my song
Won't stand a chance

I miss you with each passing day
I see you as the sun begins to rise;
Through the breeze, I can hear the words you used to say,
When shadows fall and evenings nigh,
Of you I dream, as I close my eyes.

The more you traverse, the less it seems.
Though, at times the terminus looks nearer,
Never-ending it is…
It’s Life!

Japan Surrenders
Japan's crimson sun disrobes a dawning night rise sky,
An elm tree parasol's her coral samurais while they lie.

Bite Size Poem No.37
~~Line Gauthier: Judged 2022 March 01
I dreamt last night that it was summer
and I was in a sunlit lush green meadow
where flowers were swaying in the gentle breeze
and I was sitting beneath an ancient tree, listening
to birds tweet a symphony just for me ...

I am a Nightingale…
Singing a song of lavender dreams and hopes,
Under an ultramarine canvas
Blending turquoise sky and sapphire ocean,
Twilight moon flickering ribbons of love,
My audience - the pearlescent clouds, gleaming stars,
Souls with a poetic heart!
Taken from my Poem " Writing Unwraps My Soul"
A Brian Strand Shortie Poetry Contest
winking moon
behind saffron clouds
playing hide-and-seek
with the stars
and me

Blissful to share with the needy ones’ welfare
Hearts that care engage in blessed love* affair.
*1John 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

When noxious nights are moonless and dismal days sleazy,
to walk life through the morbid mist of misery is not easy.

Bink & Gollie...
they're so jolly!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bink's a shortie
Gollie acts 40!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Best friends forever
nothing can sever --
not outrageous socks,
nor tripping over rocks;
not difference in height,
nor temporary spite;
not either family tree,
nor lack of royalty;
not crippling stage fright,
nor setting Fred alight;
not withholding pancakes,
nor stretching out in backaches.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No misunderstanding nor folly
can ever break up Bink & Gollie!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
(Based on all three "Bink & Gollie" books together;
by Kate DiKamillo, Alison McGhee, and Tony Fucile)
The child within us weeps at marble headstones
pallid wilting flowers dark plume wreaths scatter
harpsichord of heartbeats waltz on grey day plot
wind chime soul petals float past afterlife clouds.

She’s a short-spoken woman he told all.
She’s short-legged? I asked, not at all tall?
Short-sighted? Another yelled from a wall.
She’s a shortstop? My uncle yelled from a stall.
She wears shortie nightgowns was the next call.
About to see a short temper on the man with the doll.
Spike is my name as I stretch and yawn on this beautiful sunny morn
Poking my nose through leaves and debris I sniff the sweet Spring air
Inside my den I hibernate through winter’s cold away from harm
Kaleidoscopes of colour and warmth permeate my prickly skin
Enough of sleep I need to eat ~ hear my tum rumble as out I tumble
