    Miss Fay’s Day

    Set the alarm today
    Went out to play

    ADT called 911 without delay
    Sheriff came to take me away

    But I live here I say
    Well, prove it Miss Fay!

    With a wink and a sway
    I said come this way!

    And to my dismay,
    He decided to stay!

    He said to Miss Fay,
    It's been a long day,
    And I'd love to stay,
    But the wife's on her way!

    The last thing Miss Fay heard,
    Was his tires hitting the curb,
    Don't let this story disturb,
    It's just a little fantasy blurb
    .


    You can interpret "long day" any way you want. LOL!!!

    Default Thread for Sassy's poems

    Sitting here looking out my back door at the desert and was inspired to write this.

    Always, Always

    Endure
    Stoic saguaros,

    Capture the sunset
    Reach for the stars

    Shelter creatures near and far
    Tell them they are safe here

    Regally stand tall and absorb summer rains
    Gather rainbows and share the pot of gold

    Nourish nubs of life on your massive trunk
    For they ensure survival of your bloodline

    Hold yourself proudly my desert king
    Relish your strength and heritage

    Spread your fertile seeds
    Kiss the clouds

    Always, always
    Endure

    Tyr ... what is the name of this style. I thought it would be fun to use 1 word first line, 2 words second line up to 8 per line and then start backing down. Very interesting.

    Great poem, that form I am not familiar with myself. Poetry has had a few hundred new forms created in the last 2 decades.
    Ive even created a new form about two years ago myself...
    I am more interested in the poem since it has great depth, flow and message driven connectivity with Nature.
    This is indeed a top level poem.
    There is no disruption in the connections.
    Thats great talent when writing this deep and in such a smooth flow...
    However, many would not see all of that-perhaps only another poet would.
    Since its deep with every effort put into the message(poem) and very little in simplifying the write to appeal to a broader and lesser informed base!
    Its a poem written for interpretation at a higher level, as in a maturity of writing that says this is it, decipher if you can see its greatness.
    So like a poet writing directly to another poet.
    Which shows a deeper understanding than one would expect to see in a novice poet.

    The form interests me, may give it a try later tonight. --Tyr

    Maybe it's the Merlot talking, but Mr. Saguaro seems kinda phallic to me.

    Ok, my friend as promised... I gave it a shot... and dedicate this poem to you.. -Tyr



    Withhold and Release


    Withhold
    Resplendent vigor,

    Dancing upon rainbows
    Drinking sweet red wine

    Hold her in sweet embrace,
    whisper, darling you look so fine

    Await that moment you know will come
    That softest kiss, sent to find just you

    A memory gifted as a very great treasure
    Painting etched into the mind's eagle eye

    Remind yourself she is a gift
    Promise never to say goodbye

    Hold that blessed moment
    Snapshot in time

    Resplendent vigor,
    Released

    Ouch, ouch, ouch. Guess once you have seen them up close and personal that's the last thing you'll think they look like.


    And I'm surrounded by thousands of them. I live on the edge of the Saguaro National Park. Some of them have so many branches they look like trees.

    They are protected. We have some that are over 200 years old. You can't cut them down. You need to hire a professional to come out and dig them up for transplanting. And, they weigh tons.

    The spines from the dead ones are like wood.

    This saguaro form is not as common and rare.

    Talk about coded words!!

    Gave me chills Tyr. How do you like the format? Was it a challenge? Did it make you think differently about where to place each word?
