My Turn
When is it going to be
When I matter as much as he
Children come, they go
Do I even know
It has to be soon
Foolishly asked the moon
Wished on a star seemed dream hewn
When will it change, rearrange for me?

dVerse Q227 – Welcome as we reTurn after the break & Happy 14th Poet Pub Anniversary!
Speaking as a feline and not an expert
This tattooing is quite overt
Not my choice, certainly, dear
I was drugged and woke up here.
Some people think a pet is theirs
To cuddle up in soft leather chairs
Of course that would be ideal
But my inked body does reveal
The type of owner no animal needs
Even though they water and feed
The type of people who pitterpatter
About their pets is a loving matter
No need to show their dexterity
Or thoughts they’re giving a charity
All animals and humans agree
A loving hand is all they need.

here he comes with that awful smile
teeth displayed for at least a mile
friendly he’s not, likes to swat
you off your board, fly into the surf
where he can claim it’s his turf
then dips you up and sometimes down
intended not to make you drown,
but a plaything he’ll devour
when it’s time for his dinner hour.

Ode to a Shark
(Ah, shardoma, my favorite☺️)
Water
tinted drops
blue, green, and yellow
hinting hues
soil awaits
season of raining beauty
makes glorious blooms
***
Summer Sky
trichrome clouds
a bit of lightning
thunder comes
clouds darken
rain splashes dry thirsty soil
night pinks after storm

#TankaTuesday Poetry Challenge No. 21, Shadorma, 7/15/2025
Joe thought working out everyday would make him more attractive, so spared no efforts doing the perfect arm curl or the one arm board crest on the floor. It was this overdoing it that caused an arm to break resulting in a cast. Now Joe is taking some time off from the gym and gaining weight from boredom. Another pendulum swing.

Here are this week’s questions:

Share Your World 14th July
Jane’s daughter could be disappointing at times, like today…Jane thought she had designed the perfect room for Judy, her daughter. It even had a small space just for reading quietly. Judy took one look and inconsiderately described the room as cramped and not suitable for her “grownup”needs. Judy overlooked the fact her mother put so much work into the bedroom and turned on her noisy headphones, acting like an overgrown three year old.

MLMM Monday Wordle #433
Henry had tons of allergies
Wasn’t a day without a sneeze
One day sneezed so hard
His air mowed his yard
Now he does the yard work with ease.

Julia was dressed up to please
The skirt barely covered her knees
Her beau was enamored
Too bad he’s not armored
She blew him away when she sneezed!

Such a fun word to use👍🏻😀
