Hasta La Vista

hi all at #dversepoetpub sorry about not making the live online meet ups they keep clashing with work and in person poetry groups i am a part off.

Hasta la vista,
 (see you later).

Hereโ€™s to classy farewells,
More see you later,
Auf wiedersehen,
Hasta la vista,
Ciao (chow).

New beginnings call,
Keeping fond memories alive,
Memories of fun,
Memories of frolicking,
Hasta la vista childhood.

Twelve #acrostic.

Twelve.
#acrostic, #quadrille.

Twelve dozen hours lost in thought, trying,
Without any idea of why the fecking this,
Effort is, me pounding these words of misdirection,
Labouring over forty-four words,
Velvety defiantly not this time,
 Effervescent all I was after.

Twelve Without Effort, Labouring Velvet Effervescent.

Matchstick men

confessions


Confused Charlie chasses cherished confessions,
Othello orchestrates occasional obtuse obstructions,
Neither necessarily needed nearby nowadays,
Favoured fraudsters flaunting Froggattโ€™s forgeries,
Every evening eternally eating eggs,
Spyโ€™s spoiling sultans spontaneous sacrifice,
Sultan Steve standing singing sacrifice songs,
Indifferent indigenous inhabitants inhale inserection, 
Othello obliterates Olives obvious observations, oooh olive,
Not now, not never, nausea negotiating notions,
Spyโ€™s spewing soiled slurry sacrificing societies sense.

Presenting ones best.

thank you Lillian for a perfectly timed #qudrille prompt here @dversepoetspub.

This weekend was a tad special the poem will explain all. I hope!

Presenting oneโ€™s best side!


Standing ready to share #quadrille,

To massed horde (about forty-four),

A scare from Halloween,

In the summer sunโ€™s festival.


One minute to

Delight,

Scare,

Enchant,

Or petrify.


 Presentation from me,

Given.

To music festival crowd.

Quadrilles they did love,

 knowing not what they heard.
