Season of life #oldgitpoem.

It is #quadrille night over at #Dverse poets pub and todays word is “season”.

old git

On the cusp of change, I sit.

My change of season into an older age.

Mid-life crises they holler,

Procure a Ferrari, NOT ME,

How crass and vulgar.

Poetry I shall write,

to celebrate my change,

 of season,

into my middle-ages.

Rummaging for wisdom.

pithy paper #qudrille148.

Good evening one and all, we have been challenged to put ink onto page by De Jackson on the subject of paper. #dversepoetspub I accept your pulpy task.

Pithy paper. #qudrille148.

Front pithy pages written as if truth,

Pithy journalist sharing their lies,

With gullible readers of,

Followers of propaganda,

Susceptible to suggestion.

——————

Pithy papers folding when,

Readers aware of lies and deception,

Feisty revolutionaries,  

Reject the governmental whoppers,

Inciting war against peace and love.

Lonely rider

#dverse #prosery#springissprung

A Wordsworth inspired prose of 144 words #dverse tonight. what a fitting line for the photo I snapped at the top of the hill on my cycle home from work this evening, second of the photos posted. The first photo was taken back on febraury the 25th on the way down to work.

Lonely rider.

I ride the lonely lanes through the farms on the edge of town back and forth to work. Hardly any daffodils to behold. Plenty of horses, sheep and crops waiting for the spring to warm them. The hedgerows buds starting to burst. The blackthorn showing off its white blooms, gleaming in the morning sun when it shows itself from behind the clouds.

blackthorn in bloom.

            Each morning Farm dogs greet me as I cycle past their farmyard homes wishing me a safe journey down the hill to work. Tucked up in bed they are each return up the hill. The red kites call sometimes welcome me to the hilltop. But when I wondered lonely as a cloud this evening with a puncture on my cycles wheel, a lonely cloud did pass in front the setting sun making me think of the poet Wordsworth until I arrived home.

A suitable lonely cloud.

Lady Clara Carroll

A tribute to Lewis Carrol’s poems, #dverse, #poems.

Influenced by the three poems “A strange wild song, my fancy and Echoes.” There are even some echoes of these poems within. Can you spot the other Carrol poem references?

Echoes of lust bounce around this pub,

A lighter touch I needed,

If you are to be my fancy woman,

Can I call you Candy?

A strange and wild girl never,

Danced with a walrus like me,

But don’t tell the wife,

Or I shall fear for my life!

Carrol crush saga now over,

Lady Clara Carrol cusses,

Like a Jabberwocky carpenter,

Now echoed around the #dverse poets pub.
