dVerse Poets – Fix

***

When reliving the past
Pain induced needing a fix would last
With recommended Fentanyl
Increasing doses to cure the ill
Hours, days, driving me insane
Increased use never stopped the pain
Addiction resulted with no cure
Never use even if it seems to allure.

Quadrille #104: Oh, We’re in a Fix.  

42 Words – Cabin

***

A dream of mine, so sublime
Spending my time
Reading rhymes
In the comfort if you please
By a stream, surrounding trees
When tired from this happy mire
Follow a well worn path
To my cabin sanctuary, welcoming as in the past.

The Sunday Whirl 5-17-20

He thought he would die as the droplets of sweat fell onto his light blue shirt. She chose to meet at the dance and now she would see how the dance was causing him to breathe heavily and perspire profusely. The dance, not intimidating for most, found him ignorant of the robust polka.

The band seemed at liberty to exhaust the crowd, playing one fast paced dance after another. The distance between him holding her and the other couples completely killed any idea of remaining shy. He tried to appear adept at the quick step dance and not appear a loser.

MLMM Saturday Mix – Rhupunt

The sickness grows

And no one knows

It doesn’t show

On the outside

***

Should have been warned

Masks being worn

Now we’re forlorn

And stay inside

***

Blame failed leaders

They aren’t readers

They’re chest beaters

While more souls die
