Month: December 2019

I love it here
this is the place
to try my hand
and show my face
but I’m afraid

so many here
have much to say
write lovely words
I read and pray
that I may too

and know my words
might touch a heart
or prompt a laugh
or tear apart
some thought that’s blind

finding friends like this
a special way
to meet and greet
so come what may
must learn my part
make bid to stay

blind loyalty is wrong

and morally unsound

– be wary of each step

ensure you’re on firm ground

all sorts and conditions of men

are available to taste –

so she picked you out

…. but then spat you back. 

Afterwards.

when seedlings from the nursery

are chosen in variety

timing is key

 

we wait for spring all winter through

when plants make plans to grow anew

and hope does too

 

but when to plant is quite an art

this year our spring was late to start

and all lost heart

 

some plants were killed off by the frost

through savage winds more blooms were lost

we count the cost

 

baa-lambs bake in balmy breeze

babbling ’bout the birds and bees

Blanche is bossy and she’s big

Blackie’s bald but wears a wig

Brownie bleats a bold debate

believing beef’s best brown bear bait
