Poetry Challenge Photo 1

I wanted to try a new slant. I will post a photo, and then I'll write a poem to go with it. And if you are inspired, go ahead and write a poem as well, and post it in the comments window or a link to wherever you parked it. Maybe we can get a whole conga line of poetry going.

Photo collage manipulation.


And here's the poem

Nostalgia

Wind up the monkey with the key

And you will make him dance for me

The tuxedo cat wears a frown

He is here to stare you down

The roses are my favorite color

I will never love another

The best things in life have no plugs

Things you pet and things you hug

Yellow flowers to brighten your place

Sock monkeys to put a smile on your face

And skeleton keys to old time romances

Like ice cream parlors and barnyard dances

I’m not here

The cat’s eyes cut through me,
as I threw roses at her feet.
The sock monkey mocked me,
As I made a hasty retreat.
The key, you see, was me,
I’m out, the picture is complete.

Flowering Keys

Tuxedo Cat is in my way
How do I get a purple flower
the Sock Monkey say
Yes! Keys are the power
Sock Monkey tossed all keys one day
Tuxedo Cat - ran from key shower
Sock Monkey retrieved the keys
for the power to get a daily purple flower

I know that I am late to the party.  I just joined and thought I would scribble a few words together.

Fair sense
if it were
just not known.
Quiet memories last as life travels.

A flower blooms.
A violet sheen
is a desirous reaction
to bring sense to aheart's rendition.

Head strong my spirit shows senses intact. A remembrance
of memories so dear.

Unlock me
tenderly
to my dear past.
In me shall
be fair images
on the sleeves
of my spirit.
