I love autumn colors best but I also enjoy a budding pink tree.

🌸

lowly crab apple

now it is your time to shine

lovely pink blossoms

deer venture out from their lairs

to munch upon your beauty

Haibun Monday 10-21-24: Fall foliage or Spring blossoms

The tree was hollow, the bark disturbed

A posted note of sadness referred

A shallow mind, a careless point

Two bottles shared, the truth appoint

The ring returned, the couple leave

See a marriage’s love deceived.

**Di, this was the most difficult of them all, think it’s me😀

MLMM Monday Wordle #395

I’ll tell a sad tale of a mole

Peeked out of his small home, a hole

It was a mistake

Got smashed by a rake

He should have stayed under the knoll.

–

I started the poem with a mole

Completely forgetting the pole

I should have reread

What the prompt said

Think I’m losing my poet role.

Laughing Along With A Limerick

Finally, it happened

Free at last

Oppressing waves that held her

In the ocean of her past

She was drowning

Breathless in her guilt.

Then suddenly lightened

Feeling she could fly

Out of the mire

Of wanting to die.

The burden now lifted

Her mind justly quieted 

She feels free at last.

I was minding my own business sitting, waiting for my food order at what can only be described as a New Mexico schmerz, when in walked an angry guy. He had tousled black hair, tea colored eyes, and a big mouth. He sat down next to a young woman who was busily scribbling something on a napkin. Suddenly he grabbed it, read what she had written and was really mad about it. “You’ll change the words of this poem if you know what’s good for ya!” She looked cowed and got up and walked out of the restaurant. He shredded the napkin and threw it on her plate. Then he left also and they parted ways outside. I’ll never know what caused him to be upset, but my curiosity is killing me!

PROMPT WORD:  WEB

***

I was saying goodbye last evening to my family, on my patio, when my daughter suddenly looked up and said, oh that’s a beautiful web. What—over my head, over my door, a web? I am demented when it comes to spiders and webs and panicked, while they shown a light on this supposedly beautiful web. At the same time my next-door neighbor and a man came up near my patio and I said, “are you afraid of spiders, can you help me with this web? Unbelievably this man, a complete stranger, was a spider expert, and he explained that the web had been abandoned, and then went on to tell me what kind of spider it was that made that web. This is a true but definitely spooky spider story.

Sunday’s Six Sentence Story Word Prompt!

Killing Time

I am small, tiny actually, but very upset. It is too long in between my times to shine. The old guy always gets the photo ops, the fans, songs sung about him, champagne toasts, stories galore, and what about me? I am ignored! So it’s definitely time to end him. I’m planning this for Halloween, October 31st, so my crime will be covered up by celebrations of horror, and if a teeny weeny accident should occur resulting in the old man’s demise? Well, uh, pardon me, I have to wipe the smile off my face and get serious. I’ll only be able to celebrate the end of December, when all eyes will finally be on me, only me!

No Theme Thursday: 10.17.24

I need to have the knack

Never to talk back

To a chef of good repute

Dare I start to refute

His knavish choice of knapweed soup

With kneaded knawls in the bread

Added knackwurst which I dread

He hunts this fare, he’s a tracker

I think this proves the chef a knacker

Looks for cheaper meals, though knarry

Hoping restaurant costs don’t vary

Menus now all have this food

To complain would be rude.
