Last week the tomatoes were young,
Too sour for pinking,
This week they’re juicy in tongue,
July is leaving.
.
Last week the sun was steaming white,
Life was cooking,
This week the heat is hazed in sight,
August is coming.
.
Gone, standing ovation,
Done, summer vacation,
After all, tomorrow is another day,
Time to sail uncomfortable thoughts away !
Summer in session,
Do I have any confession?
My brain needs a break!
Alphabe-Thursday (P is for the Perfect Friend)
Week 6: http://bluebellbooks.blogspot.com/2011/07/short-story-slam-week-6-childrens.html
Elephant Sarah is an adopted child
from Africa, in the wild,
She cannot get used to city living,
and succeeded escaping.
Now she has to pay the cost
since she is lost.
Darkness and fears come,
She starts to miss her Mom.
Closing her eyes,
She prayed to the stars,
Ready to comprise…
“Woof, woof!”
Something white appeared in a few yards,
Sarah is startled,
As her trunk is knocked and barked at…
A friendly puppy
makes Sarah so very happy,
He makes a perfect friend and cute company
And together they walked toward home, feeling lovely.
Alphabe-Thursday (O is for Odd numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21…)
Odd is the opposite of even,
Odd numbers include 1, 3, 5, 7,…
Even numbers can be divided in pairs,
Which form lovely number affairs,
2, 4, 6, 8 are great,
They are a big deal in number’s fate.
Odd plus odd is even,
Odd minus odd is also even;
Odd times odd is again odd,
Hope that these make sense to you, my God.
3 plus 3 is 6,
9 minus 3 is also 6,
What about 5 times 5?
5 times 5 is 25…
Numbers are hard
When we classify them as even and odd,
It is harder
When we think of magic in Harry Potter…
Number games could be fun,
Learn as much as you can, done!
In my head
I visualize:
squeaking mice,
rolling dice;
fleeing fleas,
flirting peas;
wailing whales,
dating males;
fouling fowls,
hooting owls;
needy & distant!

Breeze blowing in tunes,
whispering so handsome hues,
tells its own blues.

Can you pass the can?
May I see you in May?
Why don’t we toast with some toast
and coast along the coast?
A light is light
like a paper kite,
if it shines too bright,
it might bite;
A lean cat could lean on a skunk
and get smelly like one who’s drunk.
A bowl cannot bowl
but a roll might just roll
without wisdom of an owl
or charm of a doll.
…
Homonyms are words that sound
and look alike yet profound!
If you say them real fast,
They are a true blast!
let words fall like rain,
let wisdom shine on your pain….

Cheery cheeks, green plants,
Shorts, t-shirts, no more long pants,
Live like handsome giants.
Tend the fertile soil,
grow summer infatuation,
What relaxation.

I shall care no more,
neither his look nor his flaw,
Attitude’s what I adore.
