Monday Poetry

Something short and sweet this morning

Gray
Rain falls
Gutters flow
Path floods
Splash

Monday Poetry

Dice roll
The sound of laughter
Raucous, revealing enjoyment
Thrice wins
Snake eyes strips bare
Elation, crushing excitement
Night ends
Friends part ways
Camaraderie, gossip fodder

.

Monday Poetry

You greedily sigh
as you slide in beside me
Your fingers trail
down the soft skin of my thigh
Your tongue tastes
the tender curve of my neck
Your limbs caress
mine as you move over me
Your touch excites
me as you slip into my heat
Your gentle stroke
becomes hard, pounding as we lose ourselves
Your body cradles
mine as we lay sated in one another

y, er
I think I need to work on this one a little, it could flow a whole lot better.

Monday Poetry

One last time I run my fingers over the dimples on your face
I trace along the mark of your tattoo
With fondness I recall the long hours
Of graceful submission you gave me

Your skin gave my thoughts life
Subtle persuasion brought forth wonder
Sweet, sweet music we made together
Through late night, and lazy days

I shed a tear at your destruction
I weep as you flail, synapses gone awry
Black plastic now wraps you, my dearest
As I surrender you to oblivion

A new love I will seek
And begin a new song, a new flight of fancy
No rope shall hold her as she bends to my will
Yet tightly she is bound to me

Please forgive my fits of pique when I abused you
You cosseted me so
I shall never forget the trust between us
Yet, I set you aside. Forgive me.

-- An ode to my Keyboard

Last night Chicken (our kitten) came along, stuck her head in my water glass and got stuck. In her rush to extract herself she knocked over the glass of water, some of which splashed on my cheapy 29$ ergonomic keyboard that was so damn comfortable to write on (I'm a fibro sufferer, ergo keyboards are godly). Of course, this keyboard is no longer available :(

I guess I'm going shopping, huh?

A good Writer

My son recently had an author come to visit them - Gigi Morales David. This little poem was sent home:

A Good Writer - Gigi Morales David

To be a good writer, you will need,
a lot of good examples you can read.

To be a good writer, you have to know,
brainstorming helps your ideas to grow.

To be a good writer, you must rewrite,
each time it gets better until its out of sight.

To be a good writer, you need a friend,
to help you revise when you near the end.

To be a good writer, you need advice,
to help clarify or add some spice.

To be a good writer, you need an eye and ear,
to help you edit as the end draws near.

To be a good writer, you must make the choice,
to invest the time and find your voice.

It seems advice for six and seven years olds is still useful for us twenty-six and forty-seven year olds, too!
