MOCKINGBIRD
Yes, you are very welcome little one,
To peck into my private space,
You show off;
I pause in my solitary condition to audience,
Your little drama of white tail feathers,
Tasting of your delight in sustenance,
You alone know where to find it.

Monday WRites #198

[today's mosaic: Pink Poui trees blooming Queens Park Savannah 2019]







THOSE TROLLS!
After Carnival, ever wondered why?
Streets back to normal,
Trees look so shy,
No one's dancing, everyone's formal
And shhhhhh;
Those hot dusty days still,
With blue, the colour of sky,
Wind blowing at will;
Trolls! have stolen the vibe way up on high.

LETTER TO GRAVITY
Dear Gravity,
You pull the falling leaf to the ground;
As it should be.
I too fall, not up, but down.
Neither leaf nor twinkling star you see,
So if i fall, and maybe bounce around,
To get up again, is my destiny.

DEAR PATRICK'S GARB
March has rolled in and with it, St Patrick's Day.
With Leprechauns; some do say,
Pinching bottoms their trick,
So you better wear green, to keep them away.
Although Blue was originally the colour of that day.
Because of the garb of dear Patrick

REIGNING HEAT WAVE
Hot days, cold beers, combine.
Spinning fan, no AC, pleads regret.
Should mundane sighs,
Choose to spike eventuality of days,
Nothing changes to action otherwise.
However sometimes, eyelids thirst for
Siesta without noontime constraints,
And lethagy rules her kingdom
Tight fisted with pursed lips.

the mud sticks
for a while

long after
