Simply Six Minutes

***

Coming or going, here or there

Is it a disgruntled man you see there?

The horse and rider are disturbed

Rider looks like he’s perturbed

Uncontrollable animal, has it been?

Which one do you see?

There are two more images, apparently

Let me know what, for I cannot see

The man’s hair is a bit strange

As is the horse’s tail and mane

Man’s forehead a bit too wrinkly

I just can’t see the image simply.😳

dVerse Poets Quadrille

Welcome to Quadrille Monday here at dVerse. This week I’d like you to take any meaning, form or compound of the word music, and write a poem of exactly 44 words (not counting your title), including the prompt word.

Music is an important part of my life, an essential element. Growing up my dad played in a Saturday night band and whole families attended the dance. He was talented, played by ear the piano, banjo, and fiddle. We all sang along and danced.

Classic Song Beginnings

Rising up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It’s the eye of the tiger
It’s the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watching us all with the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hanging tough, staying hungry
They stack the odds ’til we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive

It’s the eye of the tiger
It’s the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watching us all with the eye of the tiger

Rising up straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I’m not going to stop
Just a man and his will to survive

It’s the eye of the tiger
It’s the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watching us all with the eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger

Greg’s 5 Word Weekly

The seismic shift resounded in Paul’s heart when he saw his first born child, the most beautiful boy he could imagine, being taken away from the courtroom in handcuffs. Paul could only stand there, as the insipid judge shouted “next case!” Paul thought he should have done something valiant, shielded his son from this harsh punishment, but Paul was only a parent who loved his son.

Dancing the Jig

The money was good, too good he thought, but I can feign interest and react to her supposed allure again. Even in the dimming twilight, the slab of makeup in her attempt to appear beautiful turned him off. He would use his actor training, hoping to interpret the romantic anxious lover she wanted him to be.

🥳My daughter’s birthday today!🥳

1. I make a list but am usually tempted to add something if I’m in the store. Delivery makes it easier to resist.

2. I hate clothes shopping and even in store all sizes are different depending on brands so difficult to shop online. I like to feel the fabrics.

3. No. Actually I have a pair of sneakers, a pair of lace up boots and a big pair of snow boots. Inside I can wear fuzzy sheepskin socks because I don’t walk.

4. I enjoy going shopping if it’s for someone else, for example, a granddaughter.

Gratitude for the attitude of my daughter and family as they were two weeks without heat and it has been very cold and windy. We have experienced high winds with a storm on the way and on Saturday their new furnace was installed / just in time!

Love Is In Da Blog 2-19-23

My choice is the original Dolly Parton

If I should stay
Well I would only be in your way
And so I’ll go, and yet I know
I’ll think of you each step of the way

And I will always love you
I will always love you

Bitter-sweet memories
That’s all I’m taking with me
Good-bye, please don’t cry
‘Cause we both know that I’m not
What you need

But I will always love you
I will always love you

And I hope life, will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh I do wish you joy
And I wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
I love you
I will always love you

I, I will always, always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
