Wish List, For the Sunday Whirl Wordle 754

3 Replies

Wish List

Of course I have my limits, still I wish for something more,
and so I post a list on my refrigerator door.
But those key things I still want in life spill out upon the floor
from the future’s bill of lading where they don’t fit anymore.
Smoke rings from the fires of my dreams gone up in flame
fade into the distance of that future I won’t name.
Still silky thoughts caress my dreams of love and passion past,
and I give thanks for bygone lovers and memories that last.

For the Sunday Whirl Wordle 754  the prompt words are:
limits list still bill smoke ring distant wish silky spill fit key

Ode to Derrick Knight, for SOCS

18 Replies

 


He is the handsomest of men.
Were I to rank him, I’d give him “ten.”
His hair is white, his face is tan.
He’s the epitome of “man.”
No toy soldier formed of tin,
locked up in a storage bin,
he still makes memories by the ton.
His active life is not yet done.
He gardens and then ventures out––
Jackie along, without a doubt,
to drive down lanes and have a look,
then returns home to read a book.
Then sup on Jackie’s find cuisine––
a roast or curry or terrine
And then they’ll sip, to coin a pun,
on wine from bottles, not a tun.

 

The prompt for SOCS is:   tan/ten/tin/ton/tun. I’ve written about Derrick Knight, whose blog I’ve read for years. You can find today’s blog, which inspired this poem, HERE.

It takes a community to claim and tame a puppy–Wonderful news. The puppies have all been adopted!!!! I am so happy.

7 Replies

First of all, Fabi , whose family adopted and named Bonita, brought her over to play with her sisters.

Then , the next day, Oscar came over to bond with Chloe and Cookie. (Yes, in the process of  their various adventures, Chloe and Cookie got names, too, at least to tide them over until their new families claim them. They are still up for grabs!!!)

And then in the afternoon, neighbors Caro and Diego came over to work their magic. Chloe and Cookie bonded immediately with Diego, and rapidly after with his mom. Such a joy watching them. Diego is the one who came up with the name Cookie and it was perfect, because although Diego had no knowledge of it, another neighbor, Dolores, had come over the first day I had them with a box full of non-chocolate cookies and their biggest fan when they were dispensed in small pieces over the course of a week, was, you guessed it..the dog who would come to be named Cookie!

Thanks to these kind friends and neighbors, the pups have slept without a bark, whimper or growl so far tonight. As worn out as I am. If it were not for wanting to tell you this story, I, too, would be sound asleep…Call 331-860-5304 if you would like to give one of these puppies a home..or even to visit them!

Heaven Scent

I rifle through my pocketbook, looking for perfume,
needing that hypnotic spell delivered by its spume.
I love its steamy radiance hissing against my skin,
and I’m swaying with the flush of the admirers I’ll win.
A beetle flies up from the  grass to brush against my cheek,
but it’s not exactly the admirer I seek.
Then my lover drifts into the room from where he went,
drawn back , I am certain, by my heavenly scent.

Prompts for the Sunday Whirl 752 are: rifle grass flush steam radiance beetle perfume drifted swaying hypnotic hiss skin

I was intrigued by these light patterns on the floor at the last Posada Reading.  Also these lightbulbs hanging from three different strings on the terrace. The adopted sister of my two houseguests (awaiting adoption) came to visit today and they had such fun.
