Once Upon a Time

If only they really knew constituents
Listened to pleas and were fluent
In their language, and cared to listen
To ideas and words, not be remiss then
Actually care about those persons
Instead they let the communities worsen
Building walls instead of bridges
Not listening, remaining rigid.

liquid blues fading

deep water rippling

schooled fish formations

diving rewards in white sand

lighting shown is upside down

SenHai Saturday #28

Saturday and you’ve had your fill

Thanksgiving with all its thrills

But now another rising task

Christmas shopping, alas!

,I’ll just drink cocoa, and be numb

And eat frosted cookies, every crumb.

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Nov. 29, 2025

winter cooling winds arrive

wilding wolves and foxes gather families

insects burrow to survive

see geese flying south in vees

Mother Nature observing dwindling leaves

Poetry Form: Spanish Lira

If he was a girl
They’d call her busty
But he was a man so was thought of as husky.
He tried all the diets of lettuce greens
Caused spaceman eyes and acne supreme
A wheelbarrow of romaine could fill his plate
And find his hairline receding, a horrible fate –
No more diets!

“Seeing is believing, but I still can’t fathom it!” Joe declared, sitting with his wife Maddie. Maddie thought it was impossible to hear. The past few months had been a nightmare, as far as she and Joe were concerned. Joe lost his regular job, and Maddie was just hanging on to hers, a nurse in the small local hospital. It seemed that since Joe had now become part of the National Guard, his beliefs were skewed. The town was in turmoil with Joe and his friends asked to do the president‘s bidding. “They shot and killed him”, he mumbled sadly.
