Idols of Gods

 

Once it was noble
to defend your name, to kill a man
that would dishonor your grave,
once it was honor
to conquer your foe
and rename the land that war bestowed.

M is for Mom

I originally posted this last year for a Free Write Friday post:
kellieelmore.com/2013/05/10/fwf-free-write-friday-m-is-for-mom

With that special day coming up this weekend, I wanted to share it again and express my thanks to all the mothers our there. I miss my own mother and the mother of my children, so I hope that all appreciate the mothers they still have…

How much time have you spent in life
Wondering what your future would be
Any time at all is more than you’d have
If your Mom hadn’t desired your face to see.

Limerick for Our Benefactor

Poetry challenge: Limerick.

There’s a fine Belfast gent, name of Harry,

Whose grand invite, at first, made me wary–

But I conquered my dribbles,

Put ink to paper, penned scribbles–

Now I’m named with his Corner, legendary.
