Adopting A Mummy for dVerse~Poets Pub

A Halloween challenge for every one to try.  Turn those screams to laughter and the scary things will hide.

Mummy 

I think I need a mummy
To help with house hold chores
They are wrapped in rags
So they can dust and more.

Need to wash a floor?
Wet a mummy well
Drag it through the rooms
Better than a mop I hear tell

Don't need a zombie
They make too big a mess
Where the next body part falls
Is anyone's guess

Vampires have a drinking problem
Werewolves always shed
Ghosts go through everything
And the Horseman has no head.

So give me a mummy
With rags of clean white
I'll hand it Pledge
With orders to work all night.

dVerse~Poets Pub The Old House

THE OLD HOUSE

The old house sat without a care

Drops floated on liquid air

The night sky empty except for fog

Held no sound, no monologue

The old house stood strong and fair.

We stood where our ancestors dared

We sang their praises, said a prayer,

And stumbled lost into the bog

The old house sat.

We suddenly became aware

The porch held a rocking chair

The eyes saw not where the feet could slog

We whispered a dialogue

To remind us, Beware!

The old house sat.

Rumors are 

We were once wild

Eagerly we watch

And wait

Her touch

Her voice 

Makes us safe

Her eyes shed water

In our long manes

What is "goodbye"?

dVerse~Poets Pub "Of Course I Can!"

Callouses and dry hands
Untidy hair

Work your fingers to the bone

And wonder who cares

Time was a new age

While the cold war

And politics raged

Women trudged 

With a smile 

Making life worth while

Callouses and dry hands

Untidy hair

Work your fingers to the bone

And wonder who cares.

On her tombstone

Words very clear

"Housewife, Loved and Dear"

"Of course I can" killed her

That's why she's planted here.
