Blueberry Muffin

 Day 6 of Poetry Month. Not my best but when you write something every day you can't expect everything to be gold. It's still good though, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed eating a blueberry muffin this morning.

 Blueberry Muffin

A burst of blueberries
explode in my mouth.
The taste on my tongue
sweet and tart.
I savor the taste
as I take the last bite.
Now a distant memory
my blueberry muffin.

Vision

Today is day 5 of poetry month. I started out this poem with a specific theme in mind but no matter how many times I started over I couldn't get what I intended to come out on paper. This came out instead. So take my advice and try not to fight it.
 
Vision 
Hands
 around my waist.
Breath 
against my face.
Skin against skin.
I breath him in.
A sight 
to behold.
A vision,
uncontrolled

Mom

 
 Mom

Pitter patter
of little feet.
My house,
 no longer
clean and neat.
Laundry scattered 
all around
Screaming kids 
the only sound.

Breakup Spell

Following a prompt from NaPoWriMo I decided to write a poem in the form of a charm, or as a witch might say, spell. So here it is. I hope you like it.

Breakup Spell


A petal, 
from 
a red rose.
Some fuzz, 
from
 between your toes.

Throw 
it together, 
in a pot.
Heat it up,
 until
 its hot.

Put your
 brew 
in a cup.
Down the hatch,
Drink it up!

Repeat 
these words,
spoken 
times three.
"No longer 
will
I plea.

No longer 
will
I feel.
What we had,
no longer 
real."

 Words spoken
with
true intent.
Not to be 
used
just to vent.

Blueberry Donut

In my poem Temptation I used my senses to write.  I write stories and have a hard time with details. It helps me to practice writing this way. Like right now I am eating a sugar glazed blueberry donut. Something as simple as that, I made into a poem. Tell me what you think.


Blueberry Donut

My mouth waters
at the blueberry smell.
 
A delight to behold,
the round cake
with a hole.
 
The sugary glaze
lingers on my tongue.
Sticky and delicious
I can't get enough.
 
Mummers
 of appreciation
escape between bites,
until there is no more. 
 
Crumbs,
 the only evidence.

Temptation

Temptation 

The taste of peppermint
invades my senses,
as he kisses me 
so sweetly.
His hands twist 
in my hair,
pulling me closer.

The kiss becoming something 
more.
Our scent is all around.
Heavy breathing,
the only sound.

Then as sudden
as it began
it ends.

With one look,
I drown.

It's all there,
in his eyes.
The love.
The devotion.
The hunger.

And it's all for
me.

Poetry Month

 National Poetry Month starts today. My sister Candace is celebrating this month by writing a poem a day. She'll post a poem a day on her blog A Writer without Words.
My last poem I wrote was a little on the negative side. I don't always feel like that so I decided to write another poem.
Excited yet? You will be. Teeheehee!
