Fall’s Reminder Notice

Posted on December 9, 2016December 9, 2016 by Leonas Lines

Cold air pushed out

Melting snow turns to puddles

Fall tells Winter “Leave!”

Issues a reminder notice

“Winter begins December 21st”

Mr. Fox

Posted on December 4, 2016December 8, 2016 by Leonas Lines

Oh my Mr Fox, why are you there,

Smiling at me without care?

Is it not a momentous offence

For you to be outside that fence?

Flashing that silly,sly stare!

Limerick

I wrote this silly rhyme to go with this image of a little fox that I and my grand-daughter drew. I was trying to learn to draw a fox and she was helping me. I thought he turned out cute so I saved him and added him into my Christmas Village display. 😊

Procrastinator’s Apology

Posted on October 15, 2016December 8, 2016 by Leonas Lines

I try, I really do

I have good intentions

It’s true, really true

I try, I really do

There’s just no time to follow through

I’m filled with apprehensions

I try, I really do

I have good intentions

The Missing Sock

Posted on September 24, 2016December 8, 2016 by Leonas Lines

Rebellion?

A Non-conformist?

Mutany

At its worst?

Not choosing “lost” in the dryer

“Jumps basket” instead

Shadorma

( This poem was inspired because my daughter did some clothes washing at my house yesterday and I thought it quite humorous when I saw this sock laying on the floor after she had picked up her laundry and left.

The reason being was that the little sock had missed going into the laundry basket and she had to pick it up twice to put it in, but then, after she had left, I noticed it was still here–“left behind” on the floor! Seemingly it couldn’t “get lost” in the dryer so it decided to “jump the basket” in an effort to abandon its duties!😊 Just my imagination running wild again, LOL, but it gave me and her a couple laughs!

Hope it does the same for you😊)
