"A Ring a-Ding-Ding" by Samantha Tolleson

 “A Ring a-Ding-Ding”

 

Cheery jingling airs

Hurried purchases made

Reunions after another year

Incoming after not a whisper

Secrets kept selectively - while

Tea spilled and

Macaroons were consumed

All mighty praised.

Silent is the night

Igniting a spark

Sending new ripples - for the hope that

Holy is the name that will give

Eternal bliss

Layered greed with targeted flash art

Leeching His sacrificial meaning.

"Along Comes the Harvest" by Samantha Tolleson

“Along Comes the Harvest”

Wonderous floating golden globe

galloping along to Spring

luminous changing sickle lobe.

Earth ready for carefully planned seedlings.

The melting pot split in to two.

Water my sproutlings

New red fruit grew

Great wide leaves shadowing

 hidden tiny blooms

Proud pumpkin blossoms

sweet smell they can’t refuse.

waiting out cloudy subterfuge

Stones sit in silence

Overlooking Mother’s finest.

"Past Gone Fast" by Samantha Tolleson

 “Past Gone Fast” 

Fervent days now gone

Filigreed hands spinning fast

Never stopping past.

"The Most Popular President Ever?" by Samantha Tolleson

 “The Most Popular President Ever?”

You lying, dog-faced pony soldier

And this isn’t hyperbole.

I’m gonna get in trouble,

What am I doing here?

I promise you this

No Malarkey!

Come on man,

No Joe!

Go!
