Mystic Signs

Apr 19

Posted by


(NOTE: Nothing profound here. Just enjoy the sounds of the words as you read them aloud.)
 

Chocolate muffins linger on,
Tingling tongues until they’re gone.
Wasted apples clog the sink
Quicker than a rat can think.
 
Asked to whirl through vats of dye,
Pinwheels stop and wonder why.
“What’s in it for us?” they ask.
“What an idiotic task!”
 
Blueberry pie, tasty treat!
Reading tea leaves—oh how sweet!
Mystic signs of grit and grace—
Scrub your hands and wash your face!

A shy arrival
lingers over the treetops
long enough to blush.

buying a cookie
a hauntingly toothsome one
for the homeless man
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
her impulse
to buy a cookie
at midnight
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
buying a cookie
and letting her tongue linger
over the frosting
