Heads Up, Rover

Writing
Is
A lot like
Playing
With your food

You
Move words around
On
A piece of paper
For awhile

Then
Feed it
To the dog

Never would
The
Bike’s owner
Have
Guessed

When
He propped
His trusty two-wheeler
Against the
Wall

That
Come nightfall

In
The glow of the
Full moon

His ride would
Mysteriously
Vanish

A faint trail
Of
Stardust

All
That remained

The Well Ran Dry

June 2, 2022sandyjwhite Humor, Words, Writing Tags: Ink, Ragtag Daily Prompt, RDP, Writing 7 Comments

I had
Big plans

Grandiose ideas

Ready
To commit
To paper

But alas

My pen only
Sputtered

Spitting out

But a few
Meager
Drops of brilliance

Before coming to
A screeching
Halt

End of
Story

Face
Contorted
Just
Right

Holds
The camera
Real
Tight

Concentrates
With
All her
Might

Framing
Subject
In the
Sight

Gives
Tiny bird
Such a
Fright

Away it
Flies
Out of
Sight

Striking Out

April 30, 2022sandyjwhite Animals, Nature, Photography, Photos, Words, Writing Tags: Fox, Ragtag Daily Prompt, RDP, SoCS 4 Comments

The sly fox
Stealthily
Zipped
Around the corner

With
Zero noise
And barely a footprint
Left behind

Quickly retreating
Into the pines
With zilch to show for
Its hunting excursion

An Epiphany

Patiently
She offered encouragement

As her little sister
Slowly sounded out words
One by one

And painstakingly
Put complete sentences together

Realizing with certainty
For the first time

She would one day
Become a teacher

A Tale Of Two, Too Late

April 23, 2022sandyjwhite Just For Fun, Writing Tags: SoCS 7 Comments

The two
Arrived
Too late
To
The concert
To
Get choice seats

To
Their dismay
The two
Were forced
To
Sit way too close
To
Strangers
And
Two rows apart

Way too flustered
To
Do anything
To remedy
The situation

The two hurriedly
Took
Their seats

And
Vowed never
To
Be too late
To an event
Again

 

Linda Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday:  “Too, Two and To”

Drat…….Foiled Again

March 11, 2022sandyjwhite Humor, Monochrome, Photography, Photos, Poetry, Writing Tags: #FOWC, Jazz, Monochrome, Poetry, Writing 6 Comments

Relentless
Words
Bombard my
Head

So
Jazzed
I cannot go to
Bed

Grab paper and
Pencil
Scribble them
Down

Brilliant verse
At last
I’ve
Found

Close
Inspection
The next
Day

Confirms
Sleep deprivation
Never
Pays

Caught In The Web

Cobwebs
In
My brain

Thinking’s
Such
A drain

What will
Ease
The strain

So words
Flow
Once again

 

Ragtag Daily Prompt – Cobwebs
