February Loves

February loves chocolate and flowers
Hearts and lacy cards
Dropped into decorated boxes.

February loves best friends
New friends, old friends
And secret admirers

February celebrates love.

January Begins

 

January begins

A new year

New plans

New dreams

 

Happy New Year!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poems of Silliness is taking time off. 

We will resume posting February 1.

December Gives

December gives gifts for many reasons
Light a candle in this darkest of seasons
No matter what values you believe
It is better to give than receive.

November Thanks

November thanks the Veterans for their service.
November thanks writers for their books.
November thanks adoptive parents and their children.
November thanks those that recycle.
November thanks farmers for the cranberries.
November thanks all families for their love.

October Haunts

Jack-o-lanterns glowing.

Piercing wind blowing.

 

Ghosts scaring.

Children daring.

 

Vampires troubling.

Cauldrons bubbling.

 

Witches howling.

Monsters scowling.

 

Quite a scary scene.

It's almost Halloween.

 

September Learns

New rules and routines
New faces and names
A year older
A grade higher
A bit smarter
A new school year ready to begin.

August Plays

August plays...

 

at the ball park

at the family reunion

at the picnic

at the playground

at the tennis court

at the beach

at the campsite

 

Summer fun!

July Sizzles

July sizzles with...

Fireworks at the lake
Cookouts on the beach
Water fights in the neighborhood
Sunscreen for my arms
BBQs in the backyard

Sunny days Follow my blog with Bloglovin

June Promises

June promises...

more time to ride bikes
long days at the park
campouts in the back yard
picnics with family and friends
lazy afternoons lying in the grass

School's out soon.

March Rushes in

March rushes in angry with a late winter storm
Blowing new buds and tender branches
Turning over trash cans with malice
Spring is coming but winter holds on
With a tenacious grip.

Ode to a Video Game

I really should

Be doing work,

But there you lurk

And so I would

 

Sit down a bit.

I must admit

An hour passed

Much too fast.

Just one more level.

You are a devil!

February Trudges

February trudges along
In grey snow boots
Through the grey slush
On the grey sidewalk
Under a grey sky
The snow melts forming puddles on the floor.

Ode to My Coffee Cup

 

When I wake up in the morning

You had better be there

In front of my chair

Everyone take warning

I want my coffee

No, I didn’t say toffee

My new blue cup

Just fill it up

Now I’m awake

A new day to take

A Conversation with a Gingerbread House

"Oh, Gingerbread House,

You taunt me.
You look delicious."
"You want me?
I'm not very good."
"You are."
"Your little sister licked her fingers
all the while she built me."
"Never mind."
