A Sunday Muse Poem -- Is There More

Not the Best of Days 

Not real smooth today 

She missed her alarm 

Set it to "Snooze" but ... 

Skipped her breakfast 'cause 

The dog burned the eggs 

Then ate the biscuits 

Flat tire on her car 

She had to call Jeb 

He was her friend not 

Where they parked was bad 

Had to park in mud 

Jeb's no Sir Raleigh 

There she lost a shoe 

In the mud some place 

Late bell was ringing 

Were things better now 

Team cheering for her 

Run, run, one shoe gone 

Morning was ho hum 

Only six mistakes 

Noon, get her hair done 

Let's change it to blonde 

I've new goopy bleach 

You can try it free 

When lights came back on 

'Twas seen, bleach wash-out 

Her hair a sick white 

We can save the day 

We'll frize just one side

An "R" Poem for Weekly Scribblings - The Tiger

Tiger Growls or Roars

 

Far tiger weirdly  

  growls or roars 

Tiger ruler 

  from Afrikar  

 

Dare our creature 

  saunter our trail 

Trace tracks near our 

  residence.  Grrrrrr ! 

 

Surprise surprise 

  tiger's our friend

 - Rosemary asked us ro choose a letter and use it often.   Please read the self history she wrote of her experiences with letters and her learning and use of them .

 - I chose the letter "R" and used it 43 times in my 10 four syllable lines and the title.   Every word has at least one letter "R".  I did take a few liberties with my use.

 

A Poem for the Sunday Muse -- Deserted

 Image Source 

Needs of an abandoned home 

Order me a bucket of paint 

And a quart of wood stain 

Make my house look so nice 

Some pink gingham curtains 

Shades to pull keep out the bright sun

Rugs beds and furniture 

Air conditioner and stove 

Food in the pantry 

Soup cereal flour 

Coffee and sugar 

That'll start us a home 

Or I'll stay here alone 

Sleep in the corner 

Under some blankets from my cart

That I found by the road 

Then I'll keep warm 

If, until, when you come 

What is the dog doing now, on the right? . .... . . [large picture] [extra large]
