Little green tree frog
Clowning on my sliding door
Cute Clown eyes peaking
Out of the blue … lightning strikes!
Eyes bulge to tenth the power!!
Today at d’Verse. Lisa asked us to write a poem using the word Clown. I have no first hand knowledge of Clowns, so I decided to clown around with my poem which I wrote in Tanka form. Hope it makes you smile!

Our Haikai prompt from Frank Tassone today is windstorm. As we watched Hurricane Dorian take its time moving out of here, we are in awe of the damage mother nature can do when a huge hurricane moves through! In the middle of it all, the News Media made a big adieu of President Trumps home-made prediction. that it could possibly go inland as far as Alabama. His hand drawn sketch should have been taken with a grain of salt. Instead, the news broadcasts making drama will help it go down in the history books! How silly!!! This is my attempt at Renga humor about it all.

Traveling on our route to the Black Forest we passed through a small village. As we came aroung the bend, there smiling at us were faces carved into the large shrubry. As we went on, we came to another house with a weird elephant painted on the side facing the road. It had one high eye and one low eye and a little gold crown floating above his head. It is always good to see people who enjoy a good sense of humor as much as I do.

When we visited our hometown last fall we passed this restaurant. It held my interest for two reasons. It has a very unusual name for a restaurant and I have a grandson named Aidan! I had to get a photo of it to bring back with me. Hope you enjoy my humorous poem.

Where in the world would you travel if you could do so! There are so many interesting places and cultures to choose from. As I worked on this project, it brought back a lot of events and people in history that made me smile! This collection is 24 x 42 inches. A friend of my suggested the travel idea with the suitcases. I liked the idea and this is the result. I was able to use some larger stamps as well as larger blocks of stamps. These are stamps from all over the world!
Come Fly With Me
Come fly the unfriendly skies with me
Together we will see the world
No more snacks or food for free
Just a bag of saltless peanuts
And enough soda to make me pee
*
Seats so narrow we barely fit
Squeezed tightly and compact we sit
Like Leggos locked in place
We sit there with a smile pasted on our face
*
Come fly with me in spite of the odds
We’ll see the world together
Our bags will arrive from deep in the hold
Our carry-ons light as a feather
*
We will be sure to have lot’s of fun
When we reach our destination
Japan or China or maybe New Zeland
In Rome or Paris or the House of the Rising Sun
*
In spite of our tight seats we sit in
It will all be worth the show
At the window seat I’m pinned in
I’ll love it all I know
*
So come fly with me in New York we’ll meet
And rise above our fears
Float on clouds throughout the years
And fold up all our feet
*
And if by chance they come slinking
Down the aisle to take my seat
I won’t fight or wiggle or swear
I’ll say thank you my dears
And…”Let me Out of Here!!”

Where is your least favorite place to go? For me it is the dentist. While at the dentist one day I had a conversation with the hygienist while waiting for the inevitable drilling! I have always had sad experiences when it comes to my teeth. This humorous poem is one way I make light of the psychological and physical pain. A smile for your day!
The Thrill of the Needle & Drill
Here I sit in the dentist’s chair
Waiting for my gum to get numb
It’s a place I avoid for the needles and pain
Are some things from which I run
When the needle went in I did not feel a thing
But the idea still makes me cringe
My mind goes berserk and the memories kick in
Each time I see that syringe
I sat in the chair getting numb to my hair
Awaiting Dr. Hudson’s return
I wait there in dread feeling numb in my head
Helpless with a faraway yearn
Passing the time till the dreaded encounter
The hygienist jokingly said
Since you’re numb in the head and everything’s dead
Your nose could be pierced instead
We talked of tattoos and ear piercings too
Growing old will be a wild wonder
When all those tattoos we love when they’re new
Get pulled and all stretched asunder
How odd to me what some people go through
Piercings extreme pain just to be blue
Arms legs and nipple rings too
And in places you mama never knew
“Ah,” I told her, “That pain’s not for me
My threshold is way too low
When I want to suffer and be tortured and bled
I go to the dentist instead.”
