Sunday Muse Poem -- Horse Race


"Indigo Sky Mares"  
by Laurel Burch 

Pick a Good Pony 

Two different breeds they get along just fine 
Both mares with excellent trainers 
Taller one sets the pace for many laps 
Shorter one oft comes from behind 
Put your money on each you'll be ahead 
But not to win rather to place 
Bite your nails until the very finish 

A lesson here that I've learned the hard way  
Winners need not be the first but they show

 - Note:  I have never ever been to a horse race, car races yes, nor have I bet money on a horse.    I do watch them on TV, I also sometimes pick up a lottery ticket but I do not bet on the horses.

Weekly Scribblings Poem ~~ To Not Overly Punch

..

Adi Beagle Dog, has she found a poodle friend? 

(Click the title for website link)(Punches Saved



Punches; 
pull or not to pull

One who pulls no punches 
Bent on winning regardless 
Loses lots of friends 

Cousin of my spouse 
Touted all words from the king 
Unfriended her fast 

Kid in class argued 
Proved the prof was very wrong 
Only one to fail 

Timids seldom swing 
They unload punch carefully 
Called diplomacy

 - I am linked with Rommy who provided the idea to write about ", or not to pull punches," at Weekly  Scriblings #55https://poetsandstorytellersunited.blogspot.com/2021/02/weekly-scribblings-56-hit-me-with-your.html
 - I have neglected my YouTube page, Jim1Jim1, terribly.  I may never post another?  https://www.youtube.com/user/Jim1Jim1 
 - Rommy would like us to 'write new poetry or prose while “reflect[ing] upon either the phrase ‘pull no punches’ OR ‘pull your punches’.”'

A Sunday Muse poem -- Woman

"Natural Woman" Digital Collage Art "
Covid Creations" by Susie Clevenger


Natural Woman

When does a Natural 
Woman hang it all up 
When does she don high 
heels and lipstick 
Rouge on her cheeks and 
eye lashes colored silver, 
or black 

But deep down what are 
her feelings Did she really
hang it on a tree 'cause 
she was the Natural 
Woman still 

You'll know her character 
if you knew her when she 
was a girl, a little girl.  Or 
sometimes a teen.  

And then it comes out 
when she is serious, 
sometimes when she 
plays.  Our Natural 
Woman is a girl at heart, 
the one she had from the 
start, no matter how she 
looks or what she 
pretends to be.

Natural Woman is the 
woman slash girl that 
you'll love. 
Old duds hung on a tree 
New Woman will not be 
Time comes she will be re- 
leased, sprung from gilded cage
