Angel Mother ~My Messenger (PAD Challenge Day 3)

I have a special Angel
She’s a messenger to me

Although she isn’t by my side

Her spirit will always be

I know she’s there to guide me

When I feel the most alone

When I doubt if I can really

Really do this on my own

I know that all it takes

Is to simply close my eyes

And ask my special angel

Because I know she’s wise

She whispers softly to my heart

With words so sweet and true

The ones Mom used to say to me

I believe in you

I hope that when it’s my time

To leave my life on Earth

My legacy is like my Mom’s

So my children know their worth

What Got Me Here (PAD Day 1)

For today's prompt, write a "what got you here" poem.

What got me here

On this fine day

Was random chance

What can I say

When commenting on

A new friends post

I found the link

She liked the most

Although my goals

Are way too agressive

I couldn’t help

but post my message

So here I sit

Behind the ball

I’ll get caught

Not concerned at all

My Dearest - NOT (NaPoWriMO #3 and PAD Day 2)

Challenge: Poem love letter to an old flame. (Mine is fiction)

Use one or more of these words:

dung beetle, politician, nuclear, exoskeleton, oceanography, pompadour, toilet

My Dearest Darling Daniel

I write to you today

I wonder why you treated me

as a dung beetle in your way

I remember how you used to look

That pompadour was so poofy

All swirled up on top your head

you looked a lot like “Goofy”

I know I sound a little trite

But if you could only know

A politician shouldn’t make a date

And instead decide to just not show

You made me look like such a fool

The waiters questions made me blush

Your notes of love are gone for good

Down the toilet in one flush
