Nonet -- NaPoWriMo 2022 Day Nine


Little Winged Acrobat 


Glad you came little winged acrobat 
Glad you came prety bird to eat 
Glad you came to eat with me 

Come again tomorrow 
Come again more bugs 
Come again please 

Eat with me 
Eat well 
Eat

Aubade -- NaPoWriMo 2022 Day 8


    An Aubade*
     the day after 

Morning has broken 
 wake up little Sweetheart 
The sun is rising 
 hurry before it's hot 
It's time for breakfast 
 coffee is in your cup  
New day is ready 
 ready for your attack 

Morning has broken 
 little Sweetheart wake up 

We've had a nice time 
 our wedding went just fine 
Just as fine weekend 
 learned more of each other 
Helped our love to grow 
 Loving you more and more 

Morning has broken 
 wake up little Sweetheart

People are calling 
 want to see you today  
They're from your workplace 
 wondering if you'll come  
Your work has you now
 tonight we'll continue 
  
Wake up little Sweetheart   
 morning has risen 

* Note: Aubade dfn. below

A Proverb -- NaPoWriM 2022 Day Seven

A good man is hard to find 

A good man is hard to find 
Nobody argues with that 
I tell young ladies I meet 
When looking for a man friend 

"Be sure to find a nice boy" 
And then I go on to her 
"There's sooo many NOT out there, 
looking for self--do you bad"

"Like my mother said, 'You won't 
won't find nice girls in the bars'"

Eddie Green, as the title of his song A Good Man Is Hard To Find:  [Composed in 1918]
A good man is hard to find
You always get the other kind
Just when you think that he is your pal
You look for him and find him fooling 'round some other gal
Then you rave, you even crave
To see him laying in his grave
So, if your man is nice, take my advice and hug him in the morning, kiss him ev'ry night,
Give him plenty lovin', treat him right
For a good man nowadays is hard to find, a good man nowadays is hard to find.

Boo Boogy Man -- a Line Acrostic -- NaPoWriMo 2022 Day Six


   Where?

Where is the boogy man tonight  
is he sleeping tight or  
the onery old  
boogy  
man  
tonight he may prowl  

He may be under my bed 
may have sharpened fangs 
be waiting just for me 
under covers think 
my mind must be clear 
bed is not safe from him 

he may be under yours    
may have sharpened fangs 
be they for biting you 
under your bed waiting 
yours isn't safe from him 

no one knows until we look 
one must crawl down low 
knows not if we're safe 
until we look 
we must 
look real good

B a t m a n -- NaPoWriMo 2022


     For Many Years 

B a t m a n's  been living in the comics 
for many years he's been hiding there 
Hiding from the parents so well 
but now I've been told he's getting old 

The kids have no problems finding him 
he shows every day to those who love 
Cares not love or like him in degrees 
some have seen him not and he doesn't care 

For his true fans he aims all to please 
covets every "Like" that he can get 
They're sorry for him, he's getting old 
stumbles, falls, spits his cud, worse than that 

Every comic wants their big heydays 
Kids know he's been had, now finding tech

 - Our leader's prompt for Day Five has a "challenge" for us "to write a poem about a mythical person or creature doing something unusual – or at least something that seems unusual in relation to that person/creature." 
 - B a t m a n's  BIRTHDAY was March 30 born in 1939 which makes him to be 81 years old.

Breakfast in Bed - NaPoWriMo 2022 Day Four


       Beans and Bread 

"Beans and bread" I've  heard that said 
Not joking at all that's what they said 
Breakfast for Brits in my head 
Pinching pennies they and still well fed 

When quarantined for ten days 
By my door several times on my plate 
Fare for the poor what I got  
Embellished by sausage 
 and some fruit 

Food for me and prompt fit for poets *

Portsmouth is 61 miles south of London]

 -  * Note:  While on a Transatlantic cruise starting March 12 Mrs. Jim and I contracted COVID-19.  We'd had our shots and a booster so our sickness was mild.  When our cruise was finished and docked at Southampton, U.K, we were whisked off the ship to a motel in Portsmouth to finish our ten-day quarantine requirement.   
The breakfasts were good, beans, sausage, the croissant and some times scrambled egg was of my choosing. We are home now, today, in Katy, Texas.
