Smudge130

Quadrille #130

Written for #dverse quadrille 130 where we are given the word smudge.

Having lost two uncles to dementia some years ago. The idea of losing somebody in this way really close upsets me.

Another smudge,

on my heart,

Over iced tea,

Under burnt,

 orange sunset.

Smudge 130 on,

This breaking heart,

 dementia stealing,

Another sunset story,

Over iced lemon tea.

Smudge 130,

The last burnt,

Orange sunset story,

 Your dementia,

Takes you to,

Live with the fairies.

Coffee and Cake

https://dversepoets.com/

this was written for the prosery prompt on tonights #dversepub.

we are to use the line “If you are a dreamer, come in” taken from Shel Silversteins poem Invertation.

Coffee and cake

At the end of the crumbling street, I found the curios coffee shop. Named “If you are a dreamer”. Come in said the sign hung on the entrance how could I abstain.

Into the steam loaded room, whiffing of coffee and cake I am pulled. Shop owner installed crossed leg on bean bag in the corner. Crumbs in his whiskers a faraway look haunting his eyes.

The hippy on counter service asks “Are you a dreamer?”

“And a poet as well.” I replied.

“Chocolate cake with your chia it is then?” hippy asks. “pick a bean bag and get comfy my dear poet. The guru awaits you in his dream.”

One mouthful and I am floating into the guru’s dream. Finding love, peace and an end to war.

Humanities dystopia ends here! Physical bodies needed no more to exist.

Eutopia awaits here for all!
