Ew!

i hope that man gets a fix

though it’s odd how he gets his kicks

he’s a sad sort of fellow

all blue and yellow

until he eats him some raw cake mix

Food can be fattening.

Food can be fatal.

Food can be frightening.

Food is family.

Food is a fiesta.

Food is fabulous.

Food is filling.

Food is feeling.

Food is fault.

Food is faithless.

Food is familiar.

Food can be a fad.

Lack of food can make you fade.

Too much food can make you fade.

Food can be a friend.

Food can be a fiend.

Food finds me feverishly looking for freedom.

Food is fuel.

mindlovemisery: Prompt 19 - Food

Oopsy!

a woman tried to do her wifely deed

by making a fresh batch of mead

she made it quite strong

which might have been wrong

since her hubby fell from his steed

Devour or Despair

Devour or Despair

a broken blade lies buried in my heart

twisted, torn and raw

tearing my love from me apart

so being not leastwise smart

I unveil my ugly flaw

and seek demonic revenge

with sharpened claw and reeking maw

my angel I avenge

while on my enemies’ bones I gnaw

* * *

It’s hard not to lash out when hurt or angry. Most times I keep myself in check. I’ve caused bloody jagged rips in the hearts of others in the past, but the pain to my own psyche seems to suggest that the deeds were not the balm I needed. Still, I wonder if the calm is a worthy goal.

Moaning Maid

a woman lamented alone

her king’s heart made of stone

he left her to cry

and eventually die

so she haunted him from his throne

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I’ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.

Monday Madness

You won't find many pictures of me on the internet [for obvious reasons] but since I've decided to do things that make me feel uncomfortable, I am doing as mindlovemisery suggests and posting an unvarnished photo. I never wear make-up and rarely did even in my disco days. I wouldn't suggest making this image biggerer. :)

the less i know

sapphire skies bring death

unbelievable silence

while blue eyes laugh

fingertips tingle along nerve

endings in excitement

apprehension

sharks keep moving

looking for their next

breath in water

comfort is over-rated

skinned knees scab

kisses make better

words weigh more

than sticks and stones

mindlovemisery - PROMPT 16: LIFE LESSON



a man was paring a pear

at the local county fair

he lopped off a piece

that fell into the grease

and ended as fried country fare

A Limerick Two-fer

Hot and Cold

A woman who frequently bowled

made sure that everyone was told

she would give her all

to a man brave and tall

but only after her ball was rolled

He Lied: A Limerick on Spring

Took a gaze out my window’s pane

expecting to see Spring rain

instead there was snow

enough to cover my big toe

if this keeps up, I’m opening a vein

Inflate and Inflame

a woman was looking to raise

her man’s libido to a blaze

her boobs went up

the rest got a tuck

and her body of work got her praise

Keep Up the Fight

A woman was planning her flight
to outrun the emotional blight
of boredom and tears
and unmentionable fears
from the block on her ability to write.
