The Flyer - a Poem for The Sunday Muse

THROUGH THE AIR 

Flying through the air two ropes holding tight 

Our lady flew with the greatest of ease 

Knew in her mind the pilot hauling her 

She picked the pilot and the plane from looks 

This one knew his business, looked so sincere 

Plane doing loop to loops, stays on course 

Pilots don't know she is there, can't see her 

You won't see her either fine aerialist 

She sees her life on the ropes in the air 

Lillian Leitzel's* new life in our minds 

*Note:   Lillian Leitzel (2 January 1892 - 15 February 1931) famed aerialist fell to her death performing in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Murder She Wrote - TV Character for Friday Writings

    Anglela Speaks 

Hi, I'm Angela Lansbury 

Starring role of "Murder She Wrote" 

Once a weekly TV broadcast 

DirecTV now late night reruns

Favorite task is teaching to write  

Writing murder mystery stories 

Famed author, Jessica Fletcher 

Comes, help the law solve its murder 

 

Lesson I love to teach is "How" 

Most times I've a story in mind 

Know the ending before I write 

Who's the killer, why was the death  

I know I'm almost real to some 

And when you kill I'll track you down 

     _ _ _ 

 - The series focuses on the life of Jessica Fletcher, a mystery writer and amateur detective played by Angela Lansbury, who finds herself becoming involved in solving a series of murders that take place in the fictional town of Cabot Cove, Maine, as well as across the United States and abroad.

Lover Advice - a Word Acrostic

    

                        QUAILING; lover heal thyself 

                        Quail from your downward darting kiss 

                        from making an ars of yourself 

                        your unwarranted rage does tell

                        downward ever downward you fall

                        darting where mosquitos dast not

                        kiss and make up, apologize

A Scented Poem - for Poetics at dVerse

 

MORNING JOY 

The joy of my morning 

the smell of the coffee brewing 

It enters my nostrils 

like other odors do.  Different 

Different because I smell 

The only whiff I'll know today 

COVID evil killer 

He has taken my smell away 

I've this trouble before 

Degreaser machine, factor job 

My college dropout days 

From the vat of boiling solvents 

Strong chemical fumes 

Gradually smell came back 

In the U.S. Army took years 

So I have hope from then  

Flowers, cooking, puppies, await

Morning Joys - a Quadrille Poem for dVerse

Image by Julius Silver from Pixabay

MORNING COMES

Morning comes I step out my door 

A bird is singing, my rooftop 

A mockingbird I sing to him 

"Who cooks for you" "Who cooks for you"

Then from my rooftop he returns 

Quiet a bit, replies another 

Repeat Repeated 

Neighborhood sings to me 

- - -

Clouds and shadows this morning here at my house
