“All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites”
Marc Chagall
Opposites
The other
Of a bluish colour
The other
Not at all duller
Opposites
In so many ways
Positives
You want to embrace

On Top of the World… or at least the Tree!
Posted in Simply Poetry
“On top of the world, or in the depths of despair”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
On Top of the World… or at least the Tree!
Swinging, from the tree top
Wearing, a nice new smock
But forgot my other sock
Listening, to some hard rock
Above, all the birds flock
Trying on the branches dock
But, any attempts, off I will knock
For this tree, is my magic block
If you try to make a pit stop
Here, on my claimed tree top
Then be prepared, for a shock
I will punch you out, on the clock

Naturally made Doughnut
Posted in Simply Poetry
“Donuts.
Is there anything they can’t do?”
– Matt Groening
Naturally made Doughnut
Mouth agape
For this round shape
But I won’t break
For its glorious taste
It wasn’t made out of paste
Not with sugar laced
As its round shape I traced
I knew, I would it embrace
Feeling spaced
My nemesis I faced
All inhibitions erased
And soon, I was in need, of toothpaste

Oh, thank goodness: Hooray for the casting of Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor on “Doctor Who.” The last thing I wanted to write today was an angry screed about “Doctor Who.” I’ve been watching the show loyally for four decades; I’ve been through every up and down and alien invasion. No matter how much……

Luminous
Posted in Simply Poetry
“To me, life, for all its privations,
is a luminous thing.
You have to risk it.”
Jeanette Winterson
Luminous
Illuminated
Elated
Dedicated
Awaited
Luminous things of nature
In this frozen portraiture
Not just a summer’s feature
But living, breathing creatures
Fated
Sacred
Created
Illuminated

Life in a Fishbowl
Posted in Simply Poetry
“There’s such a fragile, thin veneer of illusion between the words “together” and “alone”.”
― Bradley Somer, Fishbowl
Life in a Fishbowl
Feeling glamourous
Standing tall
In this tiny fishbowl
I call home
Not so average
These see-through walls
Like a giant peep hole
In the twilight zone
Needing some leverage
I built a space small
Where my tired soul
Had time for its own
Now the damage
Of this famous ball
Is under control
And I, am finally, alone

Hanging Together
Posted in Simply Poetry
“Alone we can do so little;
together we can do so much”
Helen Keller
Hanging Together
Together, on this branch
Together, we all dance
Together, by chance
Together, has an advance
Together, us unlikely plants
Together, we will cause
The biggest avalanche…
…Well, at least, that’s the plan!
