Ten albino penguins
Attentive in their stance
A #long way to roll that ball
But thought I’d take a chance
#Knock down all ten in just one shot
Make those penguins dance
No need to spare a second thought
I’m throwing strikes with just once glance.

In her mind it was not #unexpected,
though she hoped she'd get out undetected,
but a silent alarm
broke the cat-burglar's charm
as the catnip, it seems,
was protected.

~ the hen house~

Chickens on the #roof
despite the nasty #weather
Down below, #fox eyes glow:
its mouth stuffed full of feathers.

~after hours~

He was all the rage
dancing in the spotlight
cast only by the moonlight
in the courtyard of the King.

He bounced to the beat of his drum
a booming bass inspired by rum
repeating #sounds he could only hum
So drunk he couldn't sing. 🥳

Pressed against the stone
the bitter storm rages
the Siren sobs in silence
drowned out by the rain.

She sings no more seduction;
saddened by corruption
her voice denied induction
to the #Siren Hall of Fame.

The #cloud rolled low
to give the ground a kiss

The air grew thick
eyes wondered what they missed

'Step into the fog'
I heard the voice insist

A request that proved my folly
for now, I don't exist.

Not in the here and now
but only in the mist.

No poltergeist is this
that roams #within my space.
This haunt is quite myopic
just a #floating face,
suffering from indolence
it fails to conjure fright,
but mopes around lethargic...
a forlorn phantom in the night.

#Autumnal rolled from slumber sensing my disdain.
"You should know me well by now. And here I come again."

"You bring the frost; you bring the cold -- the winter's breath meant to dismember. I shit you not! We've not forgot.
"No. We the North remember."

~ crumbs ~

Bought a bag of cookies
Got them home and they were crushed;
Just chunks of chocolate chips
and powdered cookie dust
... and now, my day is ruined
not knowing who to trust! 😉

~ The Influencer ~

He cared not for the fame or the glory.
He didn't seek the fans who begged to join his story.
His only motivation was #money -- by the loads.
For that, in his mind, was 'where the #rubber meets the road.'

In altitude
In air speed
it matched them tit for tat
then darted off far too fast

"Well that's enough of that!"

The pilot flipped the flaps
to bring the #airplane down
telling no one what he saw
once back on the ground.
