Every morning the same wake up call:
less a #siren song
but the wail of a hungry banshee
demanding food
fooooood
fooooooooooood

The sirens are calling - we're lashed to the mast;
'Your world' they are singing,
'Your world will not last'.
Through glaciers falling,
past forests of fire,
we speed in our ship to the port of Desire.

SIRENS

She came with a warning
Plastered across her forehead
(Which most of us deemed a silly hoax).
We ignored the curling smoke
And the auguries in the sky,
And thought the screeching #siren
Was a celebration of the jackpot.

They arrived with lights flashing, but thankfully, no #siren. Efficient, professional, no nonsense, the EMTs never batted an eye when I explained my father had fallen... again. One benefit of his taking to his bed was that I never had to call for help to pick him up.

He hadn't meant to share so much with her, but she didn't look away and the softness of her features, the gentle coaxing in her sympathetic eyes, compelled him, like a #siren’s song, to say more.

“Carol!” said the new neighbour, leaning suggestively against the fence.
“If you’re after a new victim now Lyn’s off the cards, don’t look at me,” said Carol.
He laughed. “I bet you were a #siren in your day.”
Carol narrowed her eyes. “Oh, it is my day.”
A distant siren wailed. #vss365

Leeward Song

Yo-ho, the squall tore mast an' sail,
with stolen gold below;
a #siren grinned upon the reef,
her red eyes all aglow.
Ol' Davy took our plunder, lads,
an' she sang us down below.

Her true face waits in the 1820 Press Art Gallery. 🏴‍☠️

Vote

They have hired & appointed
Those with no #experience
We’re mired & disappointed
By more than happenstance
The #siren sounded
The first time around
Now more surrounded
Here’s what we’ve found
That the only way out
Is to go through
Every vote is our clout
You know what to do

within dusky dunes
on her sands of dreams
the siren waits for him
with a forlorn heart
'neath sorrowful skies
never giving up on hope
never giving up on him
her maritime prince
as waves serenade the shore
she sings his name
her lost love
her soulmate
as she waits for him

Odysseus today would be an ambulance chaser. 😄

Last night
I faced the #siren
Who haunts
My deepest sleep

I asked her
Why she haunts me…
Why through my sleep
She creeps

That’s when
She kissed my temple
And on my thoughts
Made feast

She holds
My secrets hostage—
I pay,
Or they’re released

Siren red, siren song. Sing a song of sixpence. Live life, live long. A pocket full of rye. Siren blare, siren dread. Four and twenty blackbirds. Siren blast, siren dead. Baked in a pie.

where hate rules the world
I choose to love even more
join my #siren’s song

In winter's chill
the best nightwear
is a #siren suit

I moved quietly down the darkened corridor but, as I reached the target's door, a siren blared! I must have triggered an alarm ...

"Are you alright, sir?" The stewardess swam into view: "You were shouting in your sleep - can I get you anything?"

I rubbed my eyes: "Whiskey. Please."
