From the Heart
How can I possibly resist you,
there’s nothing to compare.
There such a richness to you,
you drown away my cares.
You’re bold yet understated,
there is a velvet undertone.
When I see you on the shelf,
I just have to take you home.
😉
Loving todays Daily Prompt as there are so many things I can’t Resist

No my dear, that’s quite enough,
I’m fully satisfied.
Yes I did have second helpings,
I gave it another try.
I couldn’t get another thing down,
yes, that was plenty.
No, I can assure you dear,
my stomach is far from empty.
I am well and truly sated,
I couldn’t face anything else.
Please don’t feed me any more,
that was just fine by itself.
No, I couldn’t possibly face,
any more cheese and crackers.
I don’t think I’ll eat for a week,
I’m definitely not a slacker.
I’m starting to get a little concerned,
I’ve eaten too much of this stuff.
I can honestly assure you dear,
I really have had enough.
Is there another motive here,
like something in the food.
No I’m really not joking,
nor would I want to be rude
I think your trying to choke me,
please pass me the red wine.
I just need to rinse my mouth out,
it surely must be home time.

Response to The Daily Prompt – Sated
Happy Thanks Giving Holiday to my American Followers. Hope you’ve had your fill 😉

It was more than a little chaotic,
but I wasn’t going to fail.
I’ve done that post-a-day so long,
I would certainly prevail.
So at ten minutes to midnight,
yes, chaotic was the word.
I was trying to be philosophical,
which is totally absurd.
But I got there at the last minute,
I hope that you’ll agree.
Or at least pretend your happy,
to see that post from me 😉

I used to rub it on my lamb,
but then I gave up meat.
Although I still like rosemary,
it makes a dish a treat.
I sprinkle on potatoes,
as they are roasting in the pan.
I grow it on the window ledge,
and pick it wild when I can.
I love the purple flowers,
I’ve been known to eat them too.
Oh, sweet aromatic rosemary,
what would we do without you.

I went fishing for the moon tonight,
it did not shown its face.
The moon down here was hidden,
from the human race.
So much for a super moon,
I hear an extra one at that.
All we got was sea mist,
or was it fish and chip fat.
I’m extremely disappointed,
I thought it would be huge.
I think the moons not playing fair,
in fact I’d call it rude.

Late response to the Daily Prompt – Fish, I wrote it last night after searching for the moon
If I could go right back in time,
or anywhere at all,
I think that I would go right back
to my days in school.
I listen to the lessons,
not play around the back,
I’d always do my homework
and always bring it back.
I’d focus more in English class,
I’d listen to what sir said,
I’d read all of the classics,
keep them by my bed.
Then I’d go to Mr Khan,
thank him for his time,
for the good advice he gave me,
I so wish I’d seen the signs.
I’d go out then with the girls,
to the night I met that guy,
when he asks me if I’ll marry him,
I suppose another try.
But if it didn’t work again,
I’d leave when I have my son.
that’s the best I got from it,
when all is said and done.
I still stay home those precious years,
make the most of being mum,
nothing better in this world,
nothing that’s more fun.
In hindsight I’d be kinder,
not such a selfish youth,
because when it comes right down to it,
that the honest truth.
I’d give more time to elders,
listen to what they say,
I know that their not always right
but they’ve lived some days.
I’d foster my imagination,
not try to blow it out,
write poetry about my dreams
and paint the darkness out.
The last place I would go to,
is back to see my mum,
remembering my childhood days,
remembering the fun.
I’d savour every moment,
listen to every word,
I wouldn’t think she hadn’t a clue,
or her ideas absurd.
I’d understand her thinking,
because it is now mine,
that’s why I know I have her,
for the rest of time.

perhaps I have my own mind.
It’s bullying to insist I do,
also I think it’s unkind.
Happiness or heartache,
what’s wrong with being alone.
There’s more to life than relationships,
no, I’m not made of stone.
Take the exam or fail,
there’s more ways to learn a new trick.
Just because I’ve not got a masters,
no, it doesn’t make me thick.
Let’s not forget to do or to die,
where on earth is the sense in that
There’s so many choices out there,
have you worked out Schrodinger’s cat?

A fun response to the Daily Prompt – OR
Oh, that wine was just so vegetal,
because of unripe grapes.
Picking that bottle from the shelf,
I made a huge mistake.
The smell of my back garden,
was not my desire at all.
Held up closely to my nose,
my face screwed up appalled.
It did not add complexity,
there was certainly a major flaw.
I poured it down the kitchen sink,
put the bottle outside the back door.
Today I don’t feel like primping,
unless you want to Skype.
Today I’m going to stay indoors,
I’m avoiding all the hype.
I’m keeping on my slouchy leggings,
with a baggy T on top.
I won’t be putting on lipstick,
I’m not pulling out any stops.
To primp I’d have to give a dam,
I don’t feel like that today.
So I’m staying in my bubble
and the world can go away.
It’s always the last moment,
that I have my second thoughts.
The minutes have reduced,
from two, to one, to nought.
Then I worry I’m too late,
to ever change my mind.
For I deliberate too long,
it’s just that I’m that kind.
If you ask me if I’m certain,
I never really know.
You’ll see me going back and forth,
do I want to go.
So make my mind up for me please,
tell me what to do.
So when it’s time to cast the blame,
it won’t be me but you.
