Learning How To Do Magic Tricks
It’s tragic…
(well, it is if you’re
a budding
magician):
no illusion should ever
be too evident.

Mime Me
He was stuck
behind unseen walls.
Silently
he made space
become a fortress. I placed
a tip in his hat.

Uncle Jules
Uncle Jules
was a funny guy
who would ‘steal’
our noses
‘til we couldn’t stop giggling…
then he’d ‘put’ them back.

Date From Hell
He bore an
extraordinary
resemblance
to Hitler.
(No lie.) He was pompous, too.
Great next-day story.

Oddly Purrfect Artist Model
On our steps
sat a ginger cat.
She stayed still
in cat-pose
and let me draw her. She purred,
drank some milk…and left.

Small Shadorma
I am small:
not like ‘Haiku-small’
or even
‘Tanka-Small’
‘Tanka-Small’
but still…I’m good for those with
small attention spans.

What a nice variety, RJ... (as usual) very entertaining and creative. Can't pick a favorite b/c I love them all.

Hey! What a fabulous idea! I loved the accompanying pictures. You're so creative.
ReplyDeleteI loved the ginger cat poem - put me in mind of my own one who died a while ago. I still have another cat who, in his feline manner, resembles Hitler!!
All very clever, I really like your last one though. Have a fun day.
ReplyDeleteLove the one about the magician (me being one myself!) Love the Shadorma form too. I like how yours are light and whimsical. Most that I've seen are a bit on the dark side...including mine which I posted today.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the smiles to brighten a very grey Wednesday!
