Warm dose of caffeine
Drunken tongue staggers around
A tasteful regret

Things that are blue (Versatile palette #2)
(via Pinterest, click to see)
Calm sky. Vast shadowy oceans.
Piercing haunting eyes.
The smell of fresh linen. The cry of a bird.
Baby boys. Ice and wind. Tears.
Lazy late summer evenings. Primary school uniforms.
The Oxford dictionary.
Persistence. Excellence. Insight.
Favorite coloured ink. A bad day.
Winter. December. Socks.
Comfortable solitary Friday afternoons.
Sweet love. An understanding friend.
Van Gogh. Mystery. Pain. Misery.
Mozart’s moonlight.
Rain.

First love
via Pinterest
Who’s your first love the girls ask me
Music, said I
The boy isn’t worth the mention
I cringe at the memory
How pathetically stupid I was
But the sweet sound of music
Has always been there for me
It gives me wings to fly
To soar at the peak of a high note
When I feel lost and deprived of joy
It gives me hope with every beat
Truth be told,
Air drumming has prevented shiners
You are …
You are
The hot chocolate blend
I’ve been searching for
All this time.
You are
The sunshine
In my garden,
The sparrow-man to my fairy.
You are
The sprinkles on top
A bad day.
You are
The sparkle in my eyes.
You are
The blanket and a bowl of soup,
In foul weather and bad times.
Nonet: The future is metal
Poetry challenge: Nonet
Technology is our future
Humans need not think for themselves
Easier life, at what cost?
Metal minds metal brainsThis dependency
Shall be our
Undoing
Wait, watch,

Ink siren: A nonet
This is one of my entries for the Nonet Challenge over at Poets’ Corner. I’ll try to think up some more, but in the meantime here’s this one 
Within the pages of the book, now
I see the world the ink paints me
Oh that such wonders exist
Great dragons, magic, sprites
Enchanted forests
Love, war, peace, loss
“Come,” they call
Out to
me.

Poetry Challenge: Nonet
Write a Nonet poem.
Christine introduced this short poetry form to Poets Corner with her poem here which we are using for our next challenge.
The following will explain how a nonet is formed.
A Nonet has nine lines.
The first line has nine syllables, the second line eight syllables, the third line seven syllables, etc… until line nine that finishes with one syllable.
Non-authors can post here

P.S: If any of you did submit any could you please leave me a link to it in the comments below? I’d love to see what you’ve written!
Easter bunnies

Little bunnies, big bunnies
Pink and blue, yellow and so cuddly too
Fluffy things the are
Comes our way this time of year
Big bunnies, little bunnies
Easter bunnies are hoppin’ around the corner
Be quick! Oh he’s gone now

Plastic flowers on the wall
Pinks, blues, yellows
Lovely colours all!
See them stand so proud and tall
In what had seemed to be an eternal spring
It’s in the fall when the pride consumes all
The times, the come and they go
Now faded beauties in ragged dresses
