Now when you open wide these doors
and gaze upon the view before
to left and right are twists and turns
but at the end there’s no return
so think wisely with each step you take
each pillar marks a choice to take

Ronovan writes #Decima prompt challenge #82 The treasure seekers
As they started poking around
they found a bone covered in slime
that had been there for a long time
so decided they should dig down
and see what else was in the ground
the story goes or so I’m told
it seems it started to grow cold
this they found to be quite eerie
by now they were getting weary
and all were lost as was the gold

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #141 “A poor boy whose story’s often told”
Here’s the story of Nathaniel Quinn
he never did learn how to swim
one day at the lakeside he fell in
and though everyone was looking for him
they never did find poor Nathaniel Quinn

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #133 “Mummy knows what’s best.”
Mummy duck and baby duck
were going for a walk
suddenly from up above
they heard a loud squawk
quickly dear, said mummy duck
come in and get close to me
for if that big bird sees you
he will take you home for tea
but the silly little duckling
didn’t do what his mummy said
so the greedy seagull in the sky
swooped down and carried him off instead

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #118 The ancient pathway
You may think this a tranquil scene
but do take care as things unseen
may lurk behind each bush or tree
looking out for the unwary
or lone traveller on the path
who might feel the fairies’ wrath
if their charges they don’t pay
that they may safely pass their way.

Ronovan writes #Decima #Poetry challenge #38 The boxer’s tale
A story I just need to tell
may be of interest to you
or not, no matter, just we two
will know the tale of how I fell
into the realm of personal hell.
It started on that fateful night
when I received my first invite
to make a large amount of cash
so I thought I’d have a bash
I only had to win the fight.

Taking just one sip
from the cup of tainted love,
leaves a bitter taste.
