Bright and Sunny Day ~~ a Whiligig Poem

 

Two Bites

 

One bright and sunny day

Soon to become darkened

Our clumsy wasp was caught

Red molecules of blood

Sticky whirl, his demise  

He did begrudge that day

Spider's web alluring

Poppy seeds sugar dripped 

His shouts of no avail

Until heard by the crow

False alarm, two small bites

Food chain, gizzard pulling

Lady Problems -- a Flash 60 poem

Lady Problems
 

Lady on the flying trapeze

Circus came and we left

My love, secrets are out

Came to fruition I thought

Went to London

for Trapeze School

Played more than studying

Fell in love with a taxi driver

You can't have two lovers

or, neither should know

Trapeze flyer discovered

she flew the coup

Be sure you've got wheels

Today I'm linked with  Mama Zen with the Real Toads in the

Imaginary Garden, on her post, Words Count With Mama Zen

 

Her instructions:  "Step right up and let the following vintage photos take you back to the circuses of days gone by. Be delighted!  Be amazed!  Be inspired . . . and write a poem of 60 words or less."  My work is exactly 60 words including the title.
