“Something Old” for dVerse Poets

Something Old

Love is a narcotic that makes us think we’re wise-—
nature’s slick conspiracy for matching girls and guys.
It hangs around in barrooms, obscured in eyes and talk,
and before you know it, it makes you walk the walk
down rose-petaled aisles on your way to say “I do,”
in something new or borrowed and something old and blue.

Then love becomes a train wreck, beginning with the pastor
and continuing through daily life until the last disaster
when “I do” becomes “I won’t,” and all love’s vows once-spoken
wind up in love’s dump heap—abandoned, crushed and broken.
Blame it all on Cupid, that chubby little liar,
who never warns us that new love is likely to expire.

For dVerse Poets “Something old. .  .” Prompt

Darn. I took so long trying to find an illustration for the “Something Old, Something New”. . .’ prompt that the Mr. Linky link lapsed, so here it is. for Open Link Night.

“Fountain” for RDP

Last on the Card

For Bushboy’s Last on the Card

I couldn’t resist adding  the last 8 on the card for the month of May. The moth was clinging to the latch of my entrance gate when a friend came to visit. Earlier, when I was in the hot tub, I got the rest of the photos.  Ollie visiting Frida on the roof, and some vegetation scooped from the pool on my pool scoop. The statue was taken at the Nueva Posada during Friday’s reading.
