Porch

On hot summer days

Humidity haze

Outside

Escaping sun's rays

Country music plays

Inside

Back porch cabernets

Steak, cole-slaw, and maize

Supplied

pungent thunder

sweeping me from the porch

sirens call foul

Rosé

Kick back with bare feet
Wine serenely sweet
Rosé
Liquid and lips meet
The day I delete
Rosé
Until glass deplete
My end of day treat
Rosé


Kick back with bare feet
Sipping a glass of Rosé
Wine serenely sweet




Carpe Diem #142, Uraraka (serene)

Toasted Ravioli

St. Louis prefers
our ravioli
toasted
Filled with beef, covered
in marinara
Dilish.
Back where I can get
my ravioli
toasted :)

Excalibur Rise

Hear our troubled cries

Excalibur rise

Tonight

Great Merlin the wise

is pleased to advise

the fight

Against enemy lies

infiltrating spies

To join our allies

We take to the skies

last light

A hero's reprise

no time for goodbyes

good knight

Excalibur rise

Hear our troubled cries

Please Write

***200th post at A Full Cup of Tea with a Special Poem to Celebrate Writing: Both the frustrations and the magic joys.***

No ideas singled

Inner voices mangled

Please write

Eyes squint, head wrinkled,

And patience dwindled

Please write

Fairy dust sprinkled

Magic rekindled

Please write

Oz

Thru poppy flower
The Emerald Tower
Rising

Ominous glower
Disposition sour
Biting

Command great power
Force all to cower
Writhing

Heart of Nature

Love’s great labor
Formed by creator
Divine
A grand gesture
Lovers forever
Entwine
Heart of nature
A soul’s treasure
Enshrine
