Cruising white-tipped waves on a restless sea
of uncharted depths cloaked in mystery
remains the ideal life for me

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #205
On the cross-dressers trip to Navarre
agreeing to meet in the hotel bar
the singer had a nice ass
but a voice like rough crushed glass
who turned out to be a tranny
which to them seemed quite uncanny

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #127
He turned to the boy and said, my lad
For a first effort it’s not too bad
But we’re making a statue for all to see
So perhaps you’d better leave it to me
Don’t worry lad for we’ll both be there
When it goes up in Trafalgar square.

Looking to my future
Who will grieve when I am gone
I have no daughter nor a son
My wife departed long ago
Of my demise she will not know
Or care.
The end.

Ronovan writes Decima prompt #52 Darkness before morning
The announcement that we all expected
came cutting through the usual noise
of children occupied with toys,
from household chores thoughts deflected,
eyes and ears to screens directed,
sombre is the next announcement
as they hear the dark pronouncement
today life has come to an end
for well loved husband, father, friend
reflecting on a life well spent

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #203
Whilst in San Remo on holiday
I visited the graveyard one day
to find old Edward Lear‘s grave
and in these words my respects gave
I’m sorry sir but have you heard
everything you wrote was quite absurd
curious poems and stories tall
enjoyed by children and by all
you can be sure we will not forget
your wonderful nonsense alphabet

Watch new life erupt
from the comfort of slumber
Spring awakening

His chirp continues
through the soft orange twilight
while street lamps waken.

While I was sitting in my room
from next door’s radio came a tune
a few minutes passed as I listened
feeling slow tears as my eyes glistened
knowing I’d heard the tune before
probably from some movie score
Barber’s Adaggio for strings apparently
which William Orbit arranged so fluently.

Ronovan writes Haiku challenge #349
On crisp morning air
calm rhythmic breaths form soft clouds
birth of Winter mists.
