W3 Prompt #190- The Skeptics Kaddish

Bondi Beach -the sea that bares her bosom to the moon

the winds that will be howling at all hours
along with the tears grief blood and mayhem
memories that will never leave us 
it was something that we could never envisage
our innocence now lost
so many came  here to escape
the world has caught up with us
we did not want
a world too much with us
for this for everything we are out of tune

paradise
for many
for all of us
now lost

The World Is Too Much With Us......Wordsworth

MLMM MONDAY WORDLE # 455

 

post festive tree cat hat curl lights glass photo cheer settle linger

my dream
to linger a little longer
and settle cosy by the fire
to curl up with you and my cat
in our party hats
during this festive season
with a glass of christmas cheer
looking at our  tree
with all the lights
would make a lovely photo
this post is for you

The Sunday Whirl

 

hey mr
i know you have met
a swell sheila'and are still in shock
swept up
in a chain of swaying hearts
stripped of all sense of reality
steam coming out of your ears
dizzy in love hook line and sinker
but you'll get some stick
from your old mates
if you don't contact them soon

TANKA TUESDAY Poetry Challenge no 46..Ekphrasistic Poem

 

CINQUAIN

new shoes
are not just things
they are a dream come true
to a war orphan who has 
nothing

                                               Austria 1946

sheer joy
on his dear face
he survived world war two
and he got  new shoes for christmas
sweet kid

Friday Writings # 207 - POETS AND STORY TELLERS UNITED

in between
a rock and a hard place
fleeting though it be
there is a softish patch
called Christmas
baubles tinsel and lights
movies that bring tears
hymns carols
people being a little kinder
to each other

(even customer service)

the old cards 
(will never forget you darling))
still on the fridge
a little respite
a little escape
from the nightmare
called reality

In Oz an apartment is called a flat.  I would love to buy this Christmas decoration for my flat😊  I think my neighbours would complain.
