Twelve scribings revisited; 7 of 12 in the Jemverse series ‘Malleable Days’
April cast a shadow
though I’m not in mind to care
for it was one cast by the sunshine
and the Springtime almost there
April cast a shadow
to hide the winter chills from view
heralding a summer and
warmer times anew
April cast a shadow
on the first of thirty days
showed the fool where he should go
with all his foolish ways

What I Know About Women…I Learned From You…all the women I have been lucky enough to know
Back when I was immature (last week)
And had urges to suppress,
I wanted to be a ladies man
And at times I would obsess.

I was once a dynamic think tank.
Now I find myself drawing a blank.
I guess I’m resigned
That I’m losing my mind…
And I’m overdrawn at the memory bank!

Oh tell me Easter Bunny
what is it you find so funny?
the way your hopping and sometimes stopping
or the feeling and sight of your ears a’ flopping
could be the sound of children’s laughter
they are sure its not a carrot your after
for you are strong and fast a burrows crafter

We waited for the Easter Bunny
like we did for Santa Claus,
but he would bring the gift of spring
with his soft, little bunny paws.
We did the prep work hopefully
thinking nothing of the chore,
like colouring pretty Easter eggs
and decorations for the door.

Poetry challenge: Easter poem.

In our Sunday coats we stay.
A sunny day! When coloured
Eggs and sweets we crave:
A visit to the family grave.
Up the thorny path we're taken
To the hill where marble crypts
And busts of men (their ranks forsaken)
Rest in shades of obelisks.

Awkward, accusatory and dooming,
Lie the letters, staring, glaring.
Painfully pointing fingers, from the fatal
Hand of society, chip away the self.

Poetry Challenge: Valentine Poem

Cupid’s arrow may for most
be secret on this day
when anonymity prevails
in messages we say
But for me the message is the same
with thirty-eight cards done
‘I love you more and more each year
For me there’s only one’

Ruth 1:16 “And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest I will go: and where thou lodgest I will lodge; thy people shall be my people , and thy God my God.”
(Happy Valentine’s Day, my love!)
A Cord of Three
Looking back through the years
Through the laughter and the tears,
Standing forever by my side
Standing together, husband and bride.

ONE HEART
By R. Saint Claire
Loving center and corporeal home,
A fused join at two chambers meeting,
Sacred symbol of the love I own,
And emblem of my life’s completing.

Lavender oil streams of flavours,
A heart throbbing sign.
Peeling bells and flower petals falling gently on your sleeves

The sun shines through the leaves.
The bird birds sing merrily.
I see him in my dreams.
He says he loves me.
Tell me, what is true love?
My full, fluttering heart
grows wings like a dove.
Storms tear this love apart.

It is something in which I would like to believe,
Despite being the fine art of how to deceive.
The incantations say “Love Is Grand,”
But hearts can be broken by sleight of hand.

I dreamed as if I will cheer my love- Habtish
In that dream I saw my angles’ hands on the dish
I stretched my hands and could not reach out to feed my kids
My sweet love constantly looks into my eyes in that dream and I into hers
How wondrous is that dream pulling my neck all that long to her lips for a kiss.
