Master List

they are on the blacklist
not invited to this party
where gaudy zinnias
and lavish glads
show off their best bloom(er)s
sunflowers with their toothy
grins stand proudly in
the back row
black eyed susans wait
patiently in a ring
hoping to be chosen
refreshing water is poured
from a tin vessel
but the ground ivy
is flatly refused entrance
for it is not on the
list written on soggy paper
by the muddy garden master

—-
Can you tell I’ve been planting and weeding in the garden all day?

Something For Me

Something For Me – a Shadorma

please carve some
time out of your life
some love out
of your heart
save a little piece of you
something just for me

Last Cookie

~ Candace ~ Leave a comment

 

Who took
my last cookie
the one I was saving
chocolate chip with
walnuts
Who snitched
my last cookie
while I brewed a perfect
cup of tea
Who pilfered
my last cookie
and left an empty
package on the shelf
Who made off with
my last cookie
the only one I wanted
Who swiped
my last cookie
when there were
snickerdoodles too
Who pirated
my last cookie
Arrrrr!!
Who purloined
my last cookie
leaving me longing
pining
yearning
for that gooey
crunchy circle of
nirvana

Real Fantasies

d’Verse Poetics: Fantasia

Lillian is asking for poems using fantasia, phantasia, fantasy, or any kind of”fancy”

~~~~

it was their fantasy
to fly into space
to dive to the depths
of the ocean
it was their fantasy
to see the person
on the other end of a call
to put dishes in a
machine to wash them
it was their fantasy
to cook food in seconds
to cure diseases
when will our
fantasies become real

Tickled Pinkish – a Nonet

~ Candace ~ 3 Comments

 

her silly antics made me laugh a
great big loud guffaw escaped and
floated through the atmosphere
I giggled til I thought
I’d burst and blushed a
shade of red – guess
it’s true I’m
tickled
pink
