Carpe Diem # 1838

they were blue

they were beautiful

and so was the moon

Sunday Muse # 132

 

if you go down in the woods today

don't expect to stumble across a teddy bear's picnic

 the world has changed

 

 winnie the pooh

is  considered to be the chinese president's look alike

so his images are banned 

donald duck has changed his hair colour

grown fat and become a psycho president

pollyanna is deemed to be politically incorrect

 snow white has racial issues

 and sleeping beauty is an addict

 

if you go to church

you could find yourself

minus a head 

so stay alert

no praying with  eyes closed

the world is no picnic

the teddy bears

have moved on

 

 

Carpe Diem # 1837

 

blowin' in the wind

a lot of bullshit and lies

not baffling brains

An Erasure Poem - Weekly Scribblings # 43 PSU

Night,
and the yellow pleasure of candle-light....
old brown books and the kind, fine face of the clock
fogged in the veils of the fire - it's cuddling tock.

The cat,
greening her eyes on the flame-litten mat;
wickedly, wakeful she yawns at the rain
bending the roses over the pane,
and a bird in my heart begins to sing
over and over the same sweet thing--

Safe in the house with my boyhood's love
and our children asleep in the attic above.
 

Hugh McCrae

 

 night

the yellow pleasure of candle light

cuddling tock the cat

she yawns

bending the roses in my heart

the sweet thing

my boyhood's love 

asleep
