The Salty One
Always liked that extra flavor
A punch in my mouth to savor
If I find a dish lackluster
I will grab the salt and duster
The Matron and The Man
My attempt at an Orwellian poem while taking aim at George Orwell’s quote: ““Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”
Written for the All Poetry contest / Quote Prompt: George Orwell (1984)
Apple Blossom
Extinguished glowing bar of light—
Her breath reveals the cold of night
Petals cloak the path toward safety
She grips her staff and turns bravely
Great Escape
A warm breeze blows fluffy blankets to a basket from the clothesline
Raspy Fiddler croons by my fire while the sun sets past a road sign
Orange and the smell of pine ascends joining the scarlet sky
Gold trimmed Lady joins the song clinking needles on her starlit thigh
