Poetry Schmoetry -- Strong Hair

I will be posting one poem each day of Poetry Schmoetry (July 11-14).

Strong Hair
A Limerick
By Dawn M. Hamsher


There once was a girl with strong hair
    
Whose fibers like steel were so rare.      

Once a boy came too near                    

And the tendrils did rear.                       

He lays on the floor, so beware. 

           

Poetry Schmoetry -- Monster Protection

Monster Protection

By Dawn M. Hamsher

There’s a monster in my room,
But he won’t be my doom.

I imagine him 6’ 9”
With quite a dark hairy spine.
And evil eyes with green glow.
A flicking tail that hangs low.

Huge nostrils blow foul steam. 
Breathe like hot onioned sardines.
He hunkers and creeps in the dark.
He waits for my sleep to embark
On his quest to devour my soul.
 

But I have a plan to unroll.

I’ve hidden it under my cover.
Waiting for him to discover.
It’s something that’s sure to appease
 

A plate of bologna and cheese.

Poetry Schmoetry -- Snow on the Tombstones

I will be posting one poem each day of Poetry Schmoetry (July 11-14).

Snow on the Tombstones 

by Dawn M. Hamsher

 

Snow on the Tombstones

Blanket of white

Cemetery calm

In early dawn light

Stones all snow-topped

Stand up by the pines

heavy with powder

that weighs down their sides

All of the headstones

Placed in straight rows   

Are colors of grays

That slumber and doze   

I couldn't stop looking

So lovely a scene        

A feeling of peace

of resting serene
