Poem -- Sunday Muse

Dismal Endings

That day we raced towards the edge
Cosmos exploreers new search 
We passed by a dismal sight
Earth laying in cosmic ash 

Burned like a hot cigarette
Rolled round like a rolling pin
Burned to ashes she was spent
Last deer alive fought his last

Lay at the end his hair scorched
Panting for breath browned his tongue
Broiled eyes gazing at the sun
Mister Sun why did you flare

Woeful dead have no remorse
Braggert COVID carrier
Unmasked caught the death himself
Moons, planets, all life burned first

Make my Day; 

  make me smile 

Things were simple the day I came back home 

Tulips and Iris flowered early 

That  was the year that Daddy quit hogs 

The price of pork had dropped.  All time low 

Dad cleaned the hog house.  Painted it red 

Donkey house made big on Dad's small farm 

Dare I tell you what he had for me 

Darned if it wasn't a hog house room 

Other rooms were for leftover pigs 

And donkeys who came up in the world 

They cheered mornings while eating our Oats*

Smiles they brought that made me smile as well

*My oats roasted, Oats and Honey Bars
