MLMM MONDAY WORDLE # 500

backwards sting pants metal robust honesty surplus ready signature drink front thought 


he liked sting
he  also liked heavy metal
he had a surplus number of girl friends
his signature tune should have been
i'm ready willing and able
mr smarty pants used to sing this after a few drinks
robustly not giving a thought about
making a fool of himself
never backwards in coming forward
he would front up to girls and invite them
to sing message in a bottle  with him on stage
in all honesty i thought he was crazy
but a lot of fun

SENRYU SUNDAY OCTOBER 25th

 

 


Banner by Aptivi

WELCOME TO SENRYU SUNDAY

SENRYU  5 7 5
focuses on human nature and behaviour

A senryu is a short, three-line Japanese poetic form structurally identical to a haiku (typically following a 5-7-5 syllable pattern), but which turns its lens toward human nature, everyday ironies, and relational quirks rather than the natural world.

ENJOY!

just a small colourful place
that she calls her home

thank god it's friday
she remembers the relief when
she had full time work

                                   9                                          


enjoying the sun
he sleeps for most of the time
and eats for the rest




                                      10                                          


i am so bored with 
this cheap skate's single red rose
stolen from a bush

FRIDAY WRITINGS # 250....POETS AND STORY TELLERS UNITED

the joy
of driving home at twilight
across the plains
with van morrison

the joy
of the lone driver
on the high way
as the sun sinks behnd the mountains
wishing you were here

the joy
of still being in love
with you

The Joy Of Love Songs

a memory
a poem written
ten years ago


if i
did not write poems
i would not remember
things like this it's better than a
journal

but do not dress like this
a shame really i quite like this

MLMM MONDAY WORDLE # 499

 

 
dog kind warmth secure push hand settle crutch lonely  slip press wool



she pushed her sweet litle dog
gently over  to the side
so she could slip into bed
pressing herself into a pile of woolly pillows
settling in for the night
his warmth made her feel secure  and loved
a crutch for her in a  lonely life
without a helping hand or kindness
