Old friends passing time
Revisiting times and places
Bring forth laughter and tears
As they share fond memories
Of youthful days so long ago

Different types and forms of poetry I have written
Pie and Cake
My favorite treat to eat
Is both cake and pie
It’s cheesecake not too sweet
Delighting the eye
Where top and fruit meet
Shaped like pie
Sigh!

Night skies filled with fog
Struggling to keep my vision
Resolutions fail

Bouquets of forget-me-knots
Sentimentally shared

Close
Because I thought victory would be mine
I was over confident
I didn’t tow the line
Because I thought victory would be mine
I assumed all was fine
And I lost the event
Because I thought victory would be mine
I was over confident
Triolet

Hat’s off to the Hatter
There once was a Mad Hatter
Who loved nonsensical chatter
He lived in the Land of Wonder
Which madness tore asunder
But to the Hatter it didn’t matter
