The Imaginary Garden…

Beach~

rough waves wash my ankles
soothing to tired feet and souls..

searchers dig in wet grains
the tiniest treasure to find...

picnickers pack up.. headed home
weary little ones already napping..

sand castles wait on the night 
melting slowly in the rising tide..

silently I head to my perch..
singing to the ocean from my balcony above..

Post Limerick ~

A fellow was offered a post

along the Ivory Coast

his laptop was banned

his flight was un-manned

the natives his un-willing hosts

Succinctly Yours Week 176 ~

Fable~

I thought I had found prince charming.

He walked away when he saw that my second toe was longer. 

I didn't bother to tell him that he was just a fable.

Saturday Centus Week 149~

My Mozelle... 


My grandma always told me
Child.. you should always wear your smile...
Yes.. even on the saddest days
when it hardly feels worthwhile.. 
For a smile can light the darkest day
and help to heal a broken heart..
If no words will come to mind 
a smile's a likely start..
I miss her most this time of year
when the butter cups find bloom..
for it was on a dreary winters day
that her death filled us with gloom...
I try to show a smiling face 
to most everyone I see 
and be the kind of friend to them
that my Grandma was to me...

A Grave Situation

 

A fellow who thought he been had

embarked on a scheme gone mad

thus accepting his loss

gave his anger a toss

and stood by their tombs looking sad.
