LAST LAUGH
ReplyDeletea butterfly cinquain
Never
understood why
I would want the last laugh.
Contagious chuckles, grins, guffaws
should trek
around the globe, be shared until
the whole world laughs. There should
never be a
last laugh.
love it!!!! and you are so right!!!
Deletevery nice Victoria, I definitely agree with you. Well written.
DeleteLast Time You Lied (a rondolet)
ReplyDeleteLast time you lied
I felt repulsed with pure disgust.
Last time you lied
you coldly heartlessly denied
said in you I should always trust
my heart chilled crumbled into rust
last time you lied.
I see you resorted to a "short form" for today too! LOL. This works for the most part. The only line I have a problem with is "said in you I should always trust." Everything else reads straightforwardly so this stands out even more as being reversed grammar. Maybe "said you were worthy of my trust."
Deletei like that line... maybe this will be one of my rewrites for May... that does work better.
Deletevery well written. Enjoyed!!!
Deletelast night
ReplyDeleteI dreamt of rocks,
water and a distant shore
all exotic things
like colorful birds
of all sizes
that sang songs
I'd never heard before
many colored flowers
scattered everywhere
exuding fragrance so
strong it made me light
headed, in my dream
there was a brown box
filled with sparkling gems
and shiny glowing gold
there were no people
about anywhere
somehow I knew
this island was mine
I searched for an abode
down a path
that forked
left and right
I took the right
came at last to
a moat with a bridge
and beyond a castle
where I took up residence
when I awoke
I looked around
expecting all that
was in my dream
I felt empty and
lonely all the day long...
LOL. In a way it's a sad poem, but yeah, it's a great dream -- your own island complete with castle.
Deletewhat a beautiful dream... I don't think you would have liked it in reality being all alone
DeleteLast Race
ReplyDeleteLast of all in every race
I never liked to run.
Some folks think its great to do,
I think it's no fun!
Lots of things I like to do,
now and in times past,
I don't do this any more,
so I won't come in last!
LOL. Reminds me of this:
DeleteHOW NOT TO HAVE TO DRY THE DISHES
by Shel Silverstein
If you have to dry the dishes
(Such an awful, boring chore)
If you have to dry the dishes
(‘Stead of going to the store)
If you have to dry the dishes
And you drop one on the floor —
Maybe they won’t let you
Dry the dishes anymore.
Nice one, such a lovely poet he was. Thanks!
DeleteThis is my truth!!!
