Poem and illustration: “Tilt”

Tilt

Do you run like Mercury? /

Straight arrow to the end? /

Is you love like Venus? /

Head over heals to begin? /

Are you a quarter way over, /

Mars tilted into battle? /

Or are you Uranus, /

Cockeyed like a rattle? /

Jupiter tilts only slightly /

As the mighty often do. /

Saturn, Neptune, and Ol’ Earth /

Bend as if they’ve had a few, /

Hanging out with Mars, /

Swapping stories, one or two. /

All the planets have stories /

And each an angle of repose. /

That includes Pluto, to whom /

Some have turned up their collective nose.

Monday morning writing joke: “Poet Nice”

There once was a poet from Nice

Who one day lost his only valise.

Full of rhyme and reason

He had town’s folk believin’

Until it was found they’d be no peace.

Monday (morning) writing joke: “Poet from D.C.”

The once was a poet from D.C. /

Politics wouldn’t let him be. /

So, he finally gave in /

And started rhyming the sin, /

Beginning with orange and swamp and pee.

Monday morning writing joke: “Writer from Sandusky”

There once was a writer from Sandusky /

Who was tall and a little bit husky. /

He wrote every day. /

He was a poet they say. /

And his clothes wore a wee bit crusty.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Resting birthday”

Frosting in the fridge. /

Cake unfinished on counter. /

Resting birthday.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Last”

If I were the last /

Would morning dew still matter? /

Asked the blade of grass.

Haiku to you Thursday: “The Stargazer”

The stargazer grieves /

for the love he left behind /

fading into daylight.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Empty”

Empty as a pocket /

We compared mythologies /

Midnight to devastation.

Monday morning writing joke: “Chef from Kent”

There once was a chef from Kent

who knew not how her evening was spent.

With her panties aside

had she hitched up for a ride?

Or was that dampness some other condiment?

Story of a two ladies out late.
