Dan Man's Gone ― Day 30 of NaPoWriMo 2015

 

Dan the man, the Destructible Dan Man

Came aboard the Mars 2-15 Express

It was a one way ticket, no return

No return ever, meaning not ever

 

Only UP this ride would go, goodbye all

Okay with Dan, he hated this world

Hated everyone, hated his family

Father and mother, wife and children, all

 

Full of hatred he, had a plan for all

On his way to Mars, there's no return, safe

Destructible Dan Man, he killed them all

He threw their bodies in the backyard well

 

5, 4, 3, 2, Lift off, we've had lift off 

The Mars 2-15 has cleared the launch pad

No remorse, safe now, "Dan Man out of here"

Day 30, Phew!!  I made each one.  Fun but not an easy task.

Notes:

1.  This poem was inspired by Isadora Gruye at the link above.  Izzy's request:  "A few minutes from now, you will lose all means of communication with humanity.  You will not die, but will no longer be able to interact with the world.  What's the last thing you say?</I>"

2.  My launch pad picture is of an antique elevator we road yesterday at the College of the Ozarks. three or so miles out of Branson, Missouri.  It does return to the ground floor. 

Dogwood, Iris, and Dogs ― Day 29 of NaPoWriMo 2015

 

 Pink Dogwood Tree

 

Walking along the sidewalk

When we came upon "this tree"

O, oh, oh, raved another

Pink dogwood tree winding down

 

Blooming still 'til season's end

In full bloom earlier on

More pink than green this dogwood

Always, blooms til season ends

 

 

 

Blue Beagle Iris

 

Came upon this flower bed

Iris, blue, trace of purple

Likes afternoon shady spot

Just like my old beagle dog

Magaly said, "… and when I was almost home (walking from her NYC dentist), I noticed a tiny plot of frog-cups or Fritillaria meleagris. ... we will write a new poem that will include a flower named after an animal or a bird named after a flower." 

Read the Clouds ― Day 28 of NaPoWriMo 2015

 

Reading the Clouds

 

When I read the clouds I see hope

Face of loved one coming today

Spirit of loved one departed

 

 

Rain for spring flowers, practical

Flowers, pretty yellows and pinks

Bold purples, happy oranges

Fiery reds. Youth, garden delight

 

 

Objects loom, Jonah's fish or whale

Did it really happen, God knows

B-Seventeen, bringer of death

Seven-forty-seven, travel

 

 

Find their silver linings, bright sides

Bright sides to every dilemma

Better moments come, in their time

Cooking today ― Day 27 of NaPoWriMo 2015

Chocolate Bird's Nest

Ingredients are:
Molten chocolate, half to a whole package
Six or so candy chocolate candy coated bird eggs
Ample amount of corn flakes cereal, one to two cups depending on how much chocolate you have melted
Lots of love, make it for a friend

You will need a nine inch square or round cake pan or plastic container

Directions follow:
Melt molten chocolate in double boiler
or in microwave. Be careful not to over cook.

Pour into pan

Stir in corn flakes until flakes to chocolate
ratio is about even.  In other words about
the same amounts of chocolate as corn flakes

Before mixture cools and hardens
place your six eggs where you want them
Like maybe a hen had laid them there 

You may study birds nests
to make this realistic. I find placing
them equidistant around over the nest
but random looking looks best.

Artistic touch will rule here

The more love you put into this
the sweeter your little nest will be

I am linked with Bjorn Rudberg at the Real Toads, It is not just about food
and with  NaPoWriMo 2015, both for Day 27 of National Poem Writing Month

Bjorn's instructions are "write a poem in the form of a recipe. It can either be something we can actually using for our favorite dinners, but why not a recipe for something more abstract such as love, spring or death." 

Mine is real food, but made with lots of love by lots of kids.

Fortune Cookie Folly ― Day 26 of NaPoWriMo 2015

You will inherit

You will inherit some money
or a small piece of land. Whoopee
That's what fortune cookie had said
Rushed right home to spread the good news

Next to the auto store he went
Ordered a bright new red corvette
Found his wife diamond ring, real big
Seven carrots, fit for a queen

More on layaway, kids need shoes
Soon he spent all of his money
He didn't have a thing to show
Worse yet, rich uncles he had none
