There is no greater thief than time
it takes from us our very breath
while we whittle away those moments sublime,
we’re one step closer still to death.

Limerick Woes – A Playful Limerick and a Terrible Poem
I thought I would enter Chelsea Owens Terrible Poetry Contest, which this week is to write a Limerick:
Here is the link to her post:
The Weekly Terrible Poetry Contest 3/14 – 3/20/2020
I thought I’d try a Limerick,
It sounded fun, a lark, a kick,
but please take my advice
and always think twice
because now I’m feeling quite sick.
This poem was written for the Word of the Day Word prompts: Limerick, Advice and Kick

Said the Kingpin to Miss Golightly
“you look dirty and rather unsightly
And It’s rather a strain
Seeing you again and again,
Why don’t you attempt bathing nightly?”

A Final Call – A Poem for Kira’s Sunday Scribbles
Of care and nurture, there is a dearth,
Though some instil some peace on earth,
But indecision from government’s elect,
May mean there’s not much Earth left to protect.

Amelia Rose’s Day – a little poem.
Dear Little Amelia Rose,
Tomorrow is your day
You’ll be the envy of all your friends,
But not in a jealous way.
You’ll have to sacrifice your usual fun,
To stay so neat and glistening,
Because scuffed knees are just not done,
When at your Christening.

You can’t live backwards
The past’s gone; You may as well
Try to catch the wind.
The picture also made me think of the following song:

Self Truth – A very short poem
No matter how fervent you are with your lies,
here’s good advice, some words to the wise.
though the truth may seem foreign, ‘a strange little elf’
You shouldn’t be disingenuous, not with your self.

A substantial road,
A heavenly astral path
called the Milky Way.
