Full Moon Haunting

Moon full

Creatures awake

No Slumber

Evil will take

Dark thoughts pull

 

Shallow footsteps echo

Somethings abound

Moon Shinning

No correlation of the sound

Shadow on walls like art deco

 

Walk between the shadows and light

Clouds move to darken you path

Nothing stirs by you

Protect yourself from evils wrath

Between the horrors of the night

 

Moon hidden

No one abound

Continue your dark-hearted journey

Feet and eyes to the ground

Your path forbidden

Breakfast for a Singleton

Flip on the heat

Its time to eat

You’re alone

See if roommate is home

Breakfast for one

Sounds like fun

Don’t do the dishes

But remember to feed the fishes

 

Eggs are good

Time Away

Time Away

Do not fret

Time we spend apart

Shed only tears of joy

Water drops of art

Not the last of me yet

Heart ponder

Mind creates horrible illusions

Of Time Away

Don’t hold delusions

I will  not wander

Doorbell will ring

I will stand proud

Silent moments pass by

Crickets are loud

We need to do many things

Sad Ocean

The ocean is sad

It cries every day

Lapping for attention from the world

 

Like tears the ocean is salty

Unlimited water to the bluest depth

Sorrow at those depts

 

The ocean is not shallow

It will not judge you by your looks

It makes is choice by deeper inspection

 

Cry does the ocean blue

As it slowly turns away from us

Peaks a white hang still

 

Hush now waves

Care will be taken when we ride them

Cry no more, by wave good morning and good night

Flat Alberta

Last time I was in Alberta it was in the summer

Cool Breeze from the Mountains

Land as flat as you can see

Grass green as if feed pure water from fountains

Highways silent except for the occasional Hummer

 

It is not a plain land

Dare say there was much to do

When hole appeared dinosaur reared

They even built a museum too

No it is not bland

 

Been to the big cities

See what they can show

Edmonton Mall

Calgary go-carts

I’ve not yet seen in all

Choices made where to go

All by committee

 

Rain and Drizzle

Out my window I can see the rain fall

I can see across the river to the hill far away

Where the rain doesn’t fall

It drizzles

 

Drizzle is a poor man’s rain

Not really falling or refreshing the earth

But adding moisture to each breath you take

Muggy is drizzle and I will have it not

 

Rain cleans

Drizzle dampens

Drops refresh the soul, sleep in it to be reborn

Mist cakes your body like a mummy’s wrap

 

I will take rain any day

Over Drizzle

I’m not stupid

Sunny is much better

Uploading

Feeling down

Standing out

Not sure went communication is blanked

Don’t pout

Look Around

 

Data flows under line

Information is yours to have

Don’t be greedy

Share and connection halve

Its sharing time

Making the Bigtime

First is small

Almost not worth noting

Suddenly a big deal

All to Famous

Fangirls squeal

Boys follow doting

They head off to the mall

 

Don’t be coy

It is only fleeting

Soon a replacement will come

Pictures constantly chance you

Heart as fast a drum

You hear it beating

Longer than a child’s toy

 

Rest How

Show in 5 minutes

Dress Now

Blogger’s Nightmare

It somehow seemed appropriate, this was my fear when starting the sites.

 

The Blogger’s Nightmare - Standard Poem

You make a blog and check that stats

See who has wandered into your internet patch

Someone has looked and it feels nice

Oh look look look, they have landed here thrice

 

Hopes fade

No comments were made

You were hoping for more

You type you blog with your heart on the floor

 

Day and day go by, you wait for that next visit

Wonder who is it

 Hope that they will reply

You hope with that knowing tear in your eye

 

Do not be fooled by the internet hype

That people will come if you type

That is not the way of things, and hardly you should know

Selling promise of fame is the way go

For the people of talking of fame

They are the one we should blame

 

Hold heart

Do not let it tear you apart

Hold hand

Experience this new digital land

Hold fast

Your drought in popularity will not last

Tears Away

Shed not

Whimper softly

Do not stir from your retreat

Never act un-firmly

 

Hide not your sorrow

Which creeps beneath your skin

Watering your pupils

Wanting not to stay in

 

If you release your tears today

Hollow are thou

Sadness will no longer fear you

Hollow stands in a crowd

 

Join the many who have weeped

Water the seed which future reaps

Hold up you head

 

Wipe away the past

Never lasting they fall

Meet the future glad

Clearing your mind while blurry vision calls
