Here’s a poem I wrote probably around 2013.

Midnight
Midnight rides and ravens
History books and Poe
Camels sleep and gardens creep
At midnight
Don’t you know

Witchy Fun
***
This is a poem I wrote for October Poetry Writing Month, way back in 2014.
There are a lot of TV and movie witches that have brought us fun entertainment over the years.
Being it’s getting close to Halloween again, I thought I’d re-post it. Enjoy! 🙂
***
WITCHY FUN
From Oz to Salem, to suburban mayhem,
The witches entertained us all.
The witch of the west, was creepy at best,
And Glinda was belle of the ball.
Samantha twitched her nose,
Whenever she chose, and
Sabrina’s cat talks to her, it is true.
Elphaba was wicked,
Endora was vivid…
They all were an interesting crew.
The Sanderson sisters were funny and camp,
The witches of Eastwick were duped…
They all used their craft, and a bit of their vamp,
But Morticia’s my all favorite champ.

Shows referenced = Bewitched, The Wizard of Oz, The Addams Family, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Hocus Pocus, The Witches of Eastwick, and Wicked (broadway play)

Fan Of … Painted Rocks
Fan Of… #22 — Solar Powered Desk Lamp

I’m a big fan of painted rocks. I like them, and I like painting them myself.
I’ve probably painted hundreds over the years, starting back in the early 1970s.
You can find a rock most anywhere you look, or you can buy bunches of them in craft stores, or gardening centers.
The paint I use is acrylic, which comes in all kinds of pretty colors, and dries fast. I usually try to seal with a clear coat, too.
I do these just for fun, but I also give them as gifts, and for the ongoing Kindness Rock fad that happens all over the world.

“You Rock”
With one little rock
From Rock-a-bye-baby, to
Rock around the clock
Rock ‘n roll with Buddy, and
Jenny from the block
Find a painted rock
Happiness unlock
We rock your world,
And I have to say
You’ll be rocked
Day by day

When I leave some rocks to be found, I put one of my labels on the back. It says:
***
I’ve painted rocks for all kinds of holidays, and/or also just a nice, funny, or uplifting message on them.
Sometimes I actually find a rock someone else has left around town. That’s always fun. I post it to the groups, and then re-hide it for someone else to find. 🙂

International Cat Day – Cricket
***
~from Wiki~ International Cat Day is a celebration which takes place on 8 August, every year. It was created in 2002 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare
***
This is our cat, Cricket. She is probably a Maine Coon Cat, as she is very fluffy and large. Her fur is mingled brown, white, and tan. We’ve had her about 10 years. She has beautiful green eyes. The second photo shows Cricket with a blue ribbon she likes to play with.
Cricket
INSCRUTABLE
Why the piercing stare?
The cat is inscrutable
She will never tell

This is something I experiment with sometimes – creating random word poems from Google search. I’ve done others and they always turn out pretty cool. So today I went to this place (link below). You enter one word, and the AI will create a poem from your word. Sometimes they make sense, other times not so much, but it’s fun.
It’s from a place called ‘Poem Portraits’.
***
The first word I tried was ‘garden’, and the poem came up. It says:
“Your garden shines and closes are seen by the sun. This value is the golden flower”.
***
***
Then the second time I typed in the word ‘sea’, and this one came up:
“The sea with a star shall be conquered by sleep. Our destruction shall be calm and still and hard.”
***

What do you think? Want to try it? Here’s the link:

“Octopus’s Garden’, by the Beatles, was released from their album, “Abbey Road”, in 1969. It was written and sung by Ringo (Richard Starkey), and is on the Apple label.

***
Torn from the land
Dirt walls of sand
Warnings of dust
Stay in – you must
Haboobs and storms
Creating strange forms of
dunes and desolation
***
I’ve been through so many sand storms and warnings over the years.
We live in a semi-desert area, so it’s very common to see the sand blowing
and turning the sky brown. It can get so bad they send out warnings, as it
can obscure everything, much like a white out of snow…only this is pure dirt.

Here’s a cute song though:

Feline Friday – Orion
***
***
This black cat is named Orion. He’s been featured on my posts before, and belongs to my daughter, son-in-law, and grand-daughter. He’s a really pretty kitty, and his fur is so soft! He didn’t used to like me, and would hiss, but that was a long time ago. Now he loves when I pet him and rub his tummy.
***
I wrote a few more cat Haiku poems the other day (June 3, 2019)
*
Cat falls asleep quick
Feel vibrations of his purr
Cat napping is good
*
Jump and pounce all day
Itty bitty kitty cat
Kittens love playtime
*
Kitty come to me
No really…come over here
Kitty looks aloof
