Try not to bet or wager

Seasons changed from day to day
Rain it came and gales they blew
Leaves just tumbled from the trees
Wind upon the paths leaves STREW
"We get the two-liter cokes.
We watch the sunset in pink...
Either way we bump whatever from the radio. Whatever
station we land on. I like that hardwood floor they got.
Ceiling fan like chandelier."
--francine j. harris, from "Wish We Were Daddies"

Police and Prosecutors
Must work out every move
And clarify the evidence
So the Jury guilt can PROVE
#WordlePoem #PoemADay #Wordle1935
Looking back how things have changed
Like the years when we moved nimbly
And our memories were clear
Some things now remembered DIMLY🥴

Espresso plus steamed milk and chocca
Together they make a hot MOCHA
"Those spring mornings, I sensed new depths
in the meaning of the word #alive,
understood how sunlight and mist conspire
to reveal us to each other. But each winter
I must lose you to find you again."
--Hai-Dang Phan, from "Kingfisher"

Some countries the people don’t have much.
Medicine and schooling they lack
They often don’t have running water
and are lucky to live in a SHACK

Dodgy parking, big potholes
Cyclists who must weave
What things on roads piss you off?
And cause you to PEEVE 😤?

Dodgy geezer lending money 💴
If they’re caught they’ll face a jury
What they’re doing is illegal 👮🏼
And the fancy word’s USURY 🤷🏼♀️

Do you want to look real special?
Concentrate, don’t go all ditzy
High-heel shoes, a statement handbag,
What you’re going for is RITZY

It is lovely to live near the Thames
To watch it just ripple and quiver
To see all the swans and the ducks
Paddling along the great RIVER
"The poor, maimed thing. And yet look closer, see—
How she’s flying, motion focused on
And concentrated all around her knee,
And balanced marvelously on the dawn,
Its coolness, in midair, above the clouds..."
--Yiannis Doukas, trans. A. E. Stallings

Take a flight into Havana
For your holiday in Cuba
Visit famous La Cabana
Then the beach to try some SCUBA

Noses can be pretty
Or broken like a punk
But the biggest of them all
Is Elephants’ huge TRUNK 🐘

Beach Boys sang of John B
The song runs in a loop
Can you still remember it?
A big hit - John B’s SLOOP ! 🚤
I feel like doing #PoemADay again.
The Wasteland - T.S. Eliot (my favourite part)
‘You gave me hyacinths first a year ago;
‘They called me the hyacinth girl.’
