Quadrille #233: Bring on the Boo!




Boombastic!

Booked?
What?

Boogieman tours of London,
Why?

Boo factor, of course!
When?

Booming our deathly anniversary,
Oooh obviously.

Ghosts of London are we,
Joining the living,
Boombastic booing to,
Scare them witless.


Bamboozling the locals,
With our whistles,
Groans and moans,
Never ending.
BOO!

Thanks to all you spooky crowd at #dversepoetrypub for a fun prompt.

Haibun: “The Fall of the Leaf”

Fall #haibun.

Who remembers the story of chicken licken and the sky falling on his head

The number of acorns this year is just amazing. I cannot recall having seen so many in a single season. Dry as it has been since early spring the local oak trees have been in good order. But when winter finally falls I do wonder how many will survive any winter storms we get this year.

Crunching over acorns,

Blanketing local footpaths,

Oaks saying goodnight.

thanks mish for this evening’s haibun prompt @ #dversepoets.pub

petals #Quadrille.

Peonies? Lily-of-the-Valley? Pick your posey!

Petals. #quadrille

^My heart yearns,
For that first touch.
 Petals dropped,
That autumn,
Back when,
 Way back when.
The memory of her,
Drifting in the smoke,
The smoky distant,
Past Of my youth. 
Fire side in the woods,
Where we both,
Dropped our petals,
Of innocents.

Hello all its quadrille Monday again my favourite of the sessions at #dversepoetspub. I just cannot resist dropping by and sharing with you. This evening with Lillian’s prompt my mind drifted back way back.

Quadrille #231: Making Much of Poems

to much, ooh too much — What’s too much?

Glazed.
#quadrille, #poetryrules, #dversepoetrypub.

Grainy conscience with Bullshit hangover,
Mind glazed over.
.
Aftermath of ignorance,
Kicking common sense

Am I too much?

Glazed eyes reflect,
Back communication.

Aftermath of ignorance,
Kicking common sense

Grainy with Bullshit hangover,
Mind glazed over with ignorance.

Glazed eyes reflect,
Back communication.

RumPus #quadrille

Quadrille #230 – Let’s kick up a rumpus!

Rumpus #qudrille.


Fully engaged with the who-ha,
Hullabaloo driven at full speed,
Into the peace.

Noise and mischief engulfed,
Feedback whining into my psyche.

 The open mic rumpus kicking,
Into beer fuelled ecstasy.

Neighbours grimacing at the clamour,
No music fan among them,
Wanting peace restored.
