Missed Opportunity

There he stood
On the verandah
Looking for his date

There she stood
In the parlor
Nervously scouring the place

His best friend
Comes out to chat
Invites him to a game

She nods and greets
Looks about the scene
Thinks he's not in this space

Deep bass booms, but not his heart
As he glances back
He missed his chance

She is with another guy
She takes the arm
The two begin to dance

Heartbroken, he loses the game
Prepares to leave
The dark sky brings rain

She sways and sighs
This is not the guy
For her love, her eyes strain

Refrigerator Poetry!!

Been thinking about trees. They are majestic, important, and too often taken for granted. I love trees. They provide clean air, shade, and beautiful fall colors.

I also have been thinking about poetry. Specifically Refrigerator Magnet poetry. So I pulled out my sets and built this poem:

the tree
from morning dawn
to quiet dark night
live green plant
wait outside
rise up
see life beneath

know water,
sunlight,
wind, and rain

season cycle
winter snow
spring bloom
hot summer
fall leaves

watch on
never change
remember always
celebrate time
with promise
