TIGER

my tiger
tiger burning bright
my best friend
remembers
the dark forest of the night
at meal times only

he is sweet
a gentle creature
except when
a strange hand
tries to frame his symmetry
then all hell breaks loose

Szpilman- Nocturne

TANKA TUESDAY # 321...ACROSTIC

Can't fault granny's cosy house
O for the wings of a dove
Soprano singing sweetly
Your dear gran harmonising

 

Very nice to have good views
Instead of ugly brick walls
Everyone should enjoy this
Wealthy people have all the luck

Children love birthday parties
Happy homes should be like this
A lot of fun had by all
Rosy cheeks and lovely smiles
Magical moments of life

work and play

these ladies appalled

and outraged

the waiter

has dropped his pants serving scones

at work morning tea

Thursday Doors

 Cinquain MAY 11

neighbours
complained loudly
said house prices would drop
if artists were living next door
tant pis

people
need a pink door
to brighten up their lives
with a cat flowers and a beau
bien sur

Cinquain MAY 18

orange
a good colour
old legs can't climb the stairs
strictly for the athletic type
a shame

SHADORMA  MAY 18

 

 all my doors

have been painted red

in houses

over time

i don't know why i do it

pink would be just fine

TANKA TUESDAY # 319

 SHADORMA

 

nice back drop
pretty but struggling
yes she  knows
how that feels
withering away on the vine
trying to hang on
