Crazy? - a Poem for Friday Writing

. 

     “I think perhaps all of us go a little crazy at times.” 

                                            ~ Psycho, by Robert Bloch 

      Yesterday

Yesterday I wasn't feeling so well 

It wasn't being sick to my stomach 

Haven't been that way since I partied well 

That was back in 1975 

The party was for me, new graduate. 

I blamed my ills on a 

firefly elf 

She lights up at nights 

never know when she'll come 

She'll bring me good or 

sometimes bad 

And other times she'll 

appear when she just 

wants to talk 

I can hear her coming, the 

roar of her yellow Corvette 

It was bedtime for me and 

my trying to sleep 

That didn't happen so I turned TV on 

First "Murder She Wrote" killing 

was had when I heard her drive up 

Last night I thought it was 

to talk 

She sat on my knee

and read a book 

I think she wants a 

promotion 

To the rank of genie 

Now genies are rude 

but that's not her style 

She practices on me from her book 

I noted the cover 

Title was 

"Pain and Illness Infliction 101"

My Moon -- a Poem for dVerse Poetics Nights

    It's My Moon Tonight

The moon, my moon 

It's time for the Hunter's Blood Moon 

When full like that, 

red and bloody and very full 

My time, my moon 

Come Hunter's Blood Moon, fangs are out 

I hunt and hunt 

Hunt, a lady just right for me 

Look my way please  

Lady you are my kind tonight 

your lovely neck 

I'll bite your neck and draw red blood 

Biting ladies 

Then drawing me some hot red blood 

That makes me howl 

Howl at the moon and bite some more 

Biting howling 

Hunter's Blood Moon, Hunter's lady

Our Moon Tonight

Ding dong - a Poem for dVerse Quadrille

Photo courtesy "RAH Entertainment, URL 

CLANG!!

The bell tolled just one "Clang" 

Not a "Ding, Ding, Ding . . . "

Nor a "Ding" with refrain 

That's our common "Ding dong" 

No, this little boy's "Clang" 

Just one loud he made 

He's with his mallet poised 

Ready, impress his girl 

Carnival hit he was

Card Queen - a Little Poem for Sunday Muse

 

     My Queen

I looked into the deck for relief 

The Queen of Hearts quickly came to me 

Turns out she'd been appointed to me 

To me as my loving guard angel 

As if there really is such being 

Not superstitious.  I don't believe 

What I get I've earned, angel's lacking 

But I'll keep my Queen, all mine all mine 

I'll keep her in my pretty green box 

In that box I've kept my treasures loved 

My firsts, baby spoons to wedding rings
