APRIL and POETRY MONTH....Day 4

 

HAPPY EASTER!  
This maybe a short blog today. 
Today I get to visit my husband at rehab. I’m too excited to blog right now. 
Yesterday I found it funny that Terry’s word of the day was BASEBALL. I researched past writings and found on April 3rd in 2017, I composed a poem about baseball. Funny for sure. 
I wrote a piece about stolen moments of two lovers at a cottage during a rain storm. I seem to pick this topic a lot. Don’t know why though.  I can picture these people in my mind. I don’t know them but at times I picture them. 
The second piece is partially true. I know a woman with this loud laugh. At times it seems like a cackle to me. I wrote this how I found some guys think it is cute.  Now, believe me if you heard her, you’d agree with me. My husband said her laugh grates on him.  Yes at times I can be a witch but change the ‘w’ to a ‘b’. 
Yesterday I read poems by the Browning’s (Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Robert Browning). Last year I read poets in alphabetical order. Now I’m doing whatever pops in my head. 
My Lenten project is complete. I did enjoy making someone’s day.  
I wish everyone a Happy Easter.  
Until tomorrow....have a blessed day and as always Stay Safe.

                  STOLEN MOMENTS 
The breeze blows gently
     a soft rain falls
Pitter-patter hitting the roof of the 
     cottage
April showers always a bit 
      unpredictable 
chilling rains after a warm afternoon
We hurried inside....our clothes damp
But the heat of the fire so warming
Under the afghan huddle together 
     on the sofa
Sipping wine....snacking on crackers, cheese, pepperoni and grapes
Soft music fills the room with
   romantic songs
Outside the winds suddenly blow harsh
    the rain now pounding against the 
      windows....hammering on the roof 
Safe from the elements we enjoy stolen moments in the cottage at the lake

               SUBSTITUTION 
He finds her so amusing
  her crazy boisterous laugh 
   that resembles a witches cackle
Perhaps he likes witches
Of course I’m told 
   that I’m a witch at times 
Only substitute a ‘B’ for the ‘W’
Isn’t it the same?

                      BASEBALL 
Boys of summer have retuned to the 
    diamond
As another season of baseball begins
Strikes, fouls, home runs, base hits,      
    outs
Every team trying to be league champs
Batters hitting and running; some steal 
     bases
All spectators stand for the seventh 
    inning stretch 
Losses or wins fans stand by their team
Let the boys of summer bring us 
    entertaining games in 2021
🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢
                     PLAY BALL 
The boys of summer will come out to 
     play
Some teams will have a fantastic 
  opening day

Other teams will experience their very 
   first lost
At least none to play on fields of 
     frost
      
Peanuts, popcorn, hotdogs and
  cold beer
To be consumed by fans who always. 
    boo and cheer 

Umpires to yell strike, fouls and outs
While curses to the umps fans will 
     shout

Opening day of baseball first of the       
    reason 
For teams to vie to make the big game 
    at the end of the season 

Enjoy America’s game this summer one 
    and all
Okay boys of summer it is time to play
  ball

    WACKY HOLIDAYS APRIL 3rd
    (National Chocolate Mousse Day;     
  National Find a Rainbow Day; National 
  Film Score Day and Fan Dance Day)

A dark rainy day....TV movie afternoon 
The film score made me feel like
    fan dancing
After the chocolate mousse lots of
  energy I have
The sun now peeks through the clouds 
  will I see a rainbow
