Stuck on the Bijou - Magpie

Stuck in the sand
This is how we just were
Our wheels dug in
Escape did not occur

Stranded on the Bijou
Help coming our way
A long hike to the road
Wasn't the plan for the day

We're delivered back home
Then return with a tow
Big Brother Excursion
Gives the Jeep a show

Eye Wonder What You See

Look deep into my eye

And tell me what you see

Dark black spreads out

Into a blue sea

Like looking at the earth

From high up in the sky

Or maybe a crater

Making the dirt fly

Look deep into my eye

And tell me what you see

Your imagination wanders

Wondering what it may be

The Search - Magpie #66

Searching for your favorite book

In the non-fiction section

Is really rather simple to do

If you follow this simple direction

Many years ago was formed

A fancy organization

Created by Melvil Dewey

The Dewey Decimal Classification

When searching for the book you seek

Who’s author might be Crix

Just follow the numbers as they rise

Two Eighty Nine Point Six

Unhidden you will find your wish

Is waiting in the stack

Snuggled tight amongst it’s friends

See now you’ve got the knack

Coal Miner's Baby (Magpietales)

Clarence Holbrook Carter
 

Coal miner's baby
in the shadow from the hills

filled with Black Diamonds!

All smudged from head to toe

from ever present carbon

as steam rises from the hills.

Dame waits patiently

Safe return of man from the hills

filled with Black Diamonds?

Kaleidoscope of Life

My life is a kaleidoscope

With each twist and turn

The foundation

tumbles

spirals

crashes

Yet if you look closely

A new view has been created

The structure

changed

stronger

brighter

To Wine or Not to Wine

What is your pleasure

For me it’s a sweet wine

Moscato d’Asti

Sweet White Wine

Effervescent

Late Harvest

Riesling

Deep Fruit Flavor

Eiswein (Ice Wine)

Picked during hard frost

Expensive but worth it

To Wine or not to Wine

Is there really any question

Why Rain? ( NaPoWriMO #4 / Magpie)

image from designzzz.com

Challenge:seven words that have the same vowel sounds (rain,pane,plain,disdain,constrain,germane,restrain,attain)

and use them in a repetitive way throughout a poem.

Standing sadly in my room

Looking out the pane

I watch the weather oh so close

Try to find restrain

For on the window you will see

The subject of my disdain

Tiny droplets are beading up

Mother Nature’s gift is rain

It’s not as though I hate it

In fact you’ll find it’s plain

There’s beauty in the sprinkling

I know that it’s germane

Yet on this special day you see

I was hoping for constrain

Maybe on my wedding day

A rainbow we’ll attain

Mona Lisa Smiles?



Looking at this famous work

I find myself a pondering

Is she really smiling

Or was her mind a wandering

She does not seem so happy

In fact I would say annoyed

As though she finds the painter

To be someone to avoid

I can almost hear her

Saying are we almost done

I have so many things to do

And honesty this is not fun

Yet demure she stays a sitting

Like all women of her time

Perhaps the closed lip smile

Because speaking was a crime

Shamrock In Disguise

My Irish Eyes Are Shining

On Natures Purple Haze

Imagine What To My Surprise

My Blue Eyes Stopped To Gaze

Buried Deep Within The Plum

A Tendril Began To Grow

How Timely It’s Appearance

St. Patrick’s It Did Show

Arriving Unexpectedly

I Doubt That Is The Case

For Gods Great Beauty Never

Accidentally Shows Its Face
