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!

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.
