What do you see #6

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

The shortened road ahead, I see it clearly only for a limited time. What is around that corner could be intimidating, even frightening. My head aches with unwanted visions of an uncertain future. Remaining positive is difficult even though the light dappling from above seems promising. I rely on it, follow it through dark times.

Holiday Prompts Challenge 1 and 2

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Merry happy whatever I reminded myself

As my king sized bedding I retrieved from the shelf

A chore I despise if I’m being honest

Lifting and spreading out of the closet

Crawling over to the corner is no race

To fit the corners in their special place

I think I need to hire a maid

Present to myself? Nuff said!

***

And if that’s not enough to stop you reading, number two:

***

The gift of the magi

A sweet thought it’s true

From lover to lover

Not borrowed or blue

A smile, hug, an offered kiss

Are gifts I cannot resist.

Fortune Non Gratis

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

***

I now have zero faith in this idea

Fortune telling as a career

Wanted a gift on Christmas Eve

The tented lady was out to deceive

Your love will like this, promised me

And held out a ring for me to see

The ring was odd, a large ruby stone

Thought maybe my love would like to own

A gem like this, a special dark red

It was cloudy with sparkles spread

Paid the woman with no slight

Said, I hope your prediction’s right

Wrapped the ring with special string

Hoped she thought I was her king

Right away she was enamored

Put it on and then it lost its glamour

A curse upon it did a trick

Heard a scream, watched the ring inflict

Transformation from human to witch

The fortune teller caused a glitch

My love was my beauty no more

Went back to the tent for a gory chore

Tore it down with the woman inside

Along with her tent, the teller died.

Some think my love has the teller’s form

I admit she’s far from the norm

But still my love and I’ll never leave

Beauty was all the teller reaved.

Monday Movie

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

The one the only original, “Batman” with the best portrayal and many humorous lines, unlike the others. Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, Jack Palance, Michael Gough, Kim Basinger, Billy Dee Williams, and Robert Wuhl. To me this is the best of the Batman movies. It also has a great soundtrack.

MLMM Sunday Writing Prompt – Pyramus and Thisbe

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

***

Whispered love through a phone

Two lovers remain alone

Wanting more than mails and text

Decide to move to the next step

Parents vowed they would not meet

The couple thought they were discreet

The evening the tryst took place

Thisbe first finds bloody drops to face

Feeling she had lost her love

Dies, promising to meet above

Pyramus arrives too late

Sees blood, thinks it’s from his mate

Since she does not appear

Tragedy occurred he fears

Thus he too won’t survive

Takes his life out of strife.
