Ache and ease.
This ache is constant
Midas like it mars my life.
Nothing can ease it.

Ache and ease.
This ache is constant
Midas like it mars my life.
Nothing can ease it.

Time Slip

We slip through the portals of time.
Caught in different streams we pass
Always missing you it’s a farce.
I reach out flaying around blind.
I slip through your grasp, so unkind.
I’m lost in a linear loop
All the chickens have flown the coop.
Climbing down slowly knot by knot.
Connecting the lines dot by dot
Torn assunder by Satan’s troop

I reach for your hand
But slip though linear cracks
Lost in space and time.

Your harsh, cold words cut me up short
I was blown out of the water
Ice maiden, the devil’s daughter
Too late in your web I was caught.
I’d die for you without a thought
So enchanted by you, bad girl
Battered by the rocks that you hurl
Like narcotics on me you grow
You have dismissed me like fly blow
So bird-like I flutter and whirl.

You knocked me for six
It was like winter’s harsh blow
Bird-like I fluttered.
This is part of Ronovanwrite’s Weekly Haiku Challenge.

Now Jo had abominable teeth
He needed to fix them for real
His mate fixed them for a true
steal.
His dental wizard was named Keith
Just to smile was such a relief.
To eat a meal was such a joy
With teeth so smart he was not coy.
He even asked Kay for a date
All thanks to Keith his new best mate.
His smile was now his pride and joy!

Jo had awful teeth
The overbite was a fright
Just to talk caused grief
One look, the dentist took flight
X-rays caused such disbelief.

Wednesday and it time for Ronovanwrite’s Weekly Déima challenge.
Awaiting Spring. A Décima from the birds.
Berries are red, the birds sing
We’ll eat them all and have our fill
Needing full tums to beat the chill
Time is harsh twixt Winter and Spring.
Ground hard covered in icy bling.
Water frozen it turns to ice.
We strive on as with death we dice.
At night we huddle where we roost
Humans spread seed, our diets boost.
So we sing for them,to be nice.

As always I chose to combine.
Rough Season Décima.
Bitter chill as night and hush falls.
The hedgerows full of sleeping beasts.
That this season often defeats.
Tomorrow and the hunt still calls.
The loss of hungry beasts appalls.
Nature only keeps the strongest
Winter’s cold winds last the longest.
Rough her rules may the weak take care.
She forges onwards harsh but fair.
Until Spring blossoms newly pressed.
Salty like hot dogs (and tears). Sweet like marmalade (and life).
Rants, humor, sarcasm, and a haiku-like substance? It's hard to know what's going to come out of our minds next.
