Baby

You left me for good,

I was not ready for this.

You were my heart horse,

Seventeen years together.

I will never replace you.

Write a poem about something you have no control over and how that lack of control makes you feel.

Struggle

I need you with me here,

Not stuck inside your head or fear.

Thoughts and worries keep you from me,

I just wish you could be free.

Sometimes it makes me feel alone,

As we sit in silence or talk in a tone.

I wish I could help you,

But instead I feel like poo.

Only God can save you now,

So say a prayer and take a bow.

Once upon a time, there was a hound who hollered, howled, and heckled through each and every night into the wee early hours of each and every morning. Why?

Digsy

They hound barks at everything

The tings, bings, and pings.

He drives us crazy no one sleeps.

Don't you dare say that beeps.

But once he settles,

Don't you meddle.

As one thing will set him off,

Keep it quiet never talk.

Magical Theory

I loved you for 17 years.

You watched me grow and succeed. 

I cried in to your neck and soft fur,

You taught me respect and humility,

As you tossed me in the dirt.

Watched me marry, and saved me during a miscarriage.

Sorry I never gave you a child to call your own. 

That is all I ever wanted, was for you to be their first.

Love you my Baby, see you soon

Explain to the one you love why you will not be joining them in the afterlife...

Trapped

I know once we loved deeply and pure.

This love faded eventually in to hate and regret.

What would I have become without you?

Your negativity wore on my skin like sandpaper,

And turned raw and bloody.

The person who made me feel so secure and safe,

Now makes me feel trapped and alone.

Good luck in the afterlife,

Kharma will take care of you.

Changing seasons

Adorable bunnies cuddle down earthy frozen ground,

Holding in jumping keeping lowland mound.

Nice open pastures quickly rises sun, 

Trees unleashed,Violets won.

I purchased an eensy, impish little booklet on the history of the limerick and now my brain is re-enamoured of it! Write me, if you please, an elegant or saucy or precocious or cheeky or downright salty limerick about one of the following: 1) this crrrazy year, 2016, 2) anatomy (the limerick's always obvious choice!), 3) your special talent, 4) pet peeves, or 5) a location, pick any location! Ok, go, go, go. Make me proud and don't forget to TAG ME in the comments. #limericksarefun

Toilet

As I sit upon the porcelain pot,

I form a thought that ends with a dot.

Why no paper on the roll,

It must be the TP troll.

Or the man who tied the knot.

The Cottage

When we were children The Cottage was such a magical place. We all still see it that way today, some 25 years later. We come from a big family and this is where we would spend many a weekend with all our cousins, our best friends. There was a big Oak tree off the back heading down the hill towards the lake. We loved this tree, in our young minds, we would even kiss the tree and say good-bye before leaving to head back to reality. The nights were spent around the fire and us kids would wake up early before the adults and try and get the fire going again, this was a game to us. There are still stories about the UFOs we saw while sitting by the fire at night. There was this big rock down by the water, and it was the size of an elephant. But for some reason, it had a big crack in the middle you had to jump over to fish off of the other side. We were always afraid we would fall in the cracks and it would swallow us up. So many memories. All of us cousins made a pact, we will all go back there one day, we have to.

Just Married

I kissed your lips and whispered to your soul, I just hope you can hear me.  It has been 2 weeks since the accident and you still lay motionless.  So many tubes and wires coming off of you, and the relentless beeping fills the room.  You must come back to me, I couldn't bear it if you left.  We were just on the way to the airport. I was still dressed in white.  Why did that man have to drive that night after a bottle of Jack.  "I love you, my husband, now come back".
