    Nothing is changing,
    I wake up every morning
    to the same happy ending.
    Days, months and years
    passing it’s now an
    exhausting repetitive
    classic.

    Candied Tarantulas

    Sweet tarantulas =
    Worst nightmare. I didn't think
    That spiders got worse.

    Craving for chocolate

  • Poet on the Piano replied to Keira Pickard

    I checked all the cupboards
    I reached high and low
    There was not even one morsel
    Of chocolate to bestow.

    I cried like a child
    This was all I dreamed about
    But then I saw a mouse
    And he cleared all my doubt

    He wiped my tears and said
    "I guess I'll share with you
    This one sweet morsel
    We can split it into two"

    I won't forget his kindness
    Or the way he dried my eyes
    My craving for chocolate
    Has now shrunk half a size!

    stuck in a time loop

    The slow motion crash of the screen door
    never seems to stop or get quieter
    since the day mom left for the store,
    a five-minute drive, at the most.

    Each day, especially since the search
    was called off for good and ever,
    that screen door slams again
    calling attention to the empty walk.

    Kilimanjaro snow

    In 2006
    Al Gore's gloomy forecast
    that the snow would soon cease
    on Mount Kilimanjaro
    sent a lot of people into a flurry
    to score it off their bucket list
    before it was too late.

    The snow is still there however.

    Aurora Borealis

    Swimming in the jet black
    Is she.
    Swirling like magical dream
    finger painting colours
    Across my heart
    She paints wonders of a night
    that will always last
    She...

    Guillotine

    Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin
    the inventor of the guillotine
    was horrified to learn
    that this method of killing
    had been named after him
    and, unsuccessfully petitioned
    the French government to
    have the name changed.

    “Tricoteuses,” women
    visited these beheadings
    and were known to chant
    "off with his head"
    knit one purl one
    knit one purl one
    "off with his head".

    Seems my prompt has become a cog in the wheel so, I'm deleting it.

    Well I actually love it, I think we just had our own things I didnt get to come here and write. Sorry about that! Jack frost am I right?

    No one knows
    that the coldness
    I bring only makes
    me hollower inside.

    Only few enjoy
    my presence
    there’s little place
    for me, and I’m
    melting away.

    And this void within
    is only becoming
    darker, I’m dying
    and there is no one
    beside me.

    Drowning in your favorite drink

  • Keira Pickard replied to Star

    Death by chocolate -
    What a shame.
    It tastes so good,
    It can't be to blame.
    It's warm, so sweet,
    My favourite drink,
    Putting me in a daze
    So I can't think.
    What a euphoric end -
    I don't care a bit!
    I wouldn't die any other way
    Than drowning in hot chocolate.

    A strange combination of food

  • Poet on the Piano replied to Keira Pickard
    3 years ago, updated 3 years ago

    You cringe and shake your head
    when I mash all my food
    together, so they become
    super friendly on my plate.
    I look at you plainly
    and say, "it all ends up
    in the same place,
    so why not live a little?"

    frostbite in the summer

    Mark Twaim famously spoke
    his coldest winter was one July
    in San Francisco, California.

    Mark did not know my ex
    who could shrivel your testes
    with a single look of disdain.

    The kill shot
    had been precise
    Benjie the Pomeranian
    tried to lick the life
    back onto his master's mouth...
    Unlike the whistling kettle
    his whimpering would never stop!

    Very funny!!

    Cherry blossom possum
    Had a memory that was rotten
    Which made all his friends laugh
    They laughed like a giraffe
    And at his very pink bottom
    But by the very next day
    He'd completely forgotten
