Poems of Garden Gnomes 
Poe Woes
Edgar Allen Poe
used blood and woe
in tales so eerie
the raven flew off–weary

I’ll give it a shot…although the last line is more like a near-rhyme.
Bunny Blues
My chocolate bunny
unsettled my tummy,
so I drank some seltzer –
I’m feeling much better.

trying to capture an image with words
Night Run
Powdered sugar under red velvet skies
Tinsel-wrapped trees of rose wine raspberry
Lone figure slaloms between firs
Faster, faster, plunge into drifting mounds
Shadows chasing, snow eclipsing
Dizzying, whirling, blinding, hurling
Wilder, faster, bet on disaster
Pretzel sticks twisted against bloody sheets

His name is Ducky.
Smart and plucky.
But seniors keep squawkin’
“Illya Kuriakin!”

I Tried to Paint Your Portrait ….
But there is no tint or shade
Squeezed from a tube that can capture
The twinkling blue of your eyes
No brush strokes that can imitate the
Streaks of gold in your hair
When you stand in the nimbus of a sunset
No blend of pigment, no touch of impasto
No paint on canvas
Can portray the essence of you

Pingback: LOST IN A BLOOD RED SKY – THROUGH THE EYES OF A POET'S HEART
LOST IN A BLOOD RED SKY
The sun sets slowly,
growing in intensity and brilliance.
A waltz, a dance with the shoreline,
I find myself where the sky turns bolder.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come
to appreciate the gradations
from golden to molten,
to auburn to full burn.
To red sky at night,
this word sailor delights
in the sight of a blood red sky.

Elvis Presley, born in Tupelo,
came back to life as a buffalo.
Rock and Roll was the word
around the buffalo heard.

Alberto “la Bomba” Tomba won Olympic gold
But is more more famous for his antics, truth be told
Skiing master in slalom, giant slalom, and overall
But his larger-than-life persona is what I recall.

Okay, I’ll play.
The poet Ted Kooser
(whose name, by the way, rhymes with “goose her”)
wrote a book about poem repair.
Read, write, read, compare, no fair, despair.
