AUTUMN'S PERSONA!
Julie Grenness Apr 2017
What is the persona of Autumn?
of many things, it is a sum,
Of golden days, chillsome nights,
Twilight descending, turn on the lights,
of fleecy clothes, planting in soil,
of rainy sodden, drenching our toils,
Autumn's persona is past middle-aged,
More like a golden age on nature's stage,
Grey afternoons, foggy morns,
What kind of day does this day dawn?
Feedback welcome.
Shell, ancient mortal,
Cast from sparkling oceans, soul
For your lost love pined.

Sonnet for a Star.
How can I express my thanks from afar?
Lately, drove past me, smiling and waving,
In such past times, he was my guiding star,
Treasured image of him I am saving.
"Sit tight, dear one, you see things to the end,"
Always I fondly recall what he did say,
But separately, my path did onward wend,
I really never know, except to pray.
Steadfast, he did come turning back to me,
Inspiring in this dear eternal love,
Afar and beyond in that century,
Teaching that all our gifts sent from above.

He gave all he did ever meet happy heart,
Before time and all human breath does depart.

TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT...

TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT...

Tonight's the night, my non brother,
What have we done to each other?
Dusk approaches, time of dreading,
Home he is, to me he's heading,
Would this be true love?
He brings me no doves,
Tonight's the night, my non brother,
What have we done to each other?
Feedback welcome.

CUPPATEA....
Julie Grenness Mar 2017
A notion came to me,
While I sipped a restorative cuppatea,
That's all one word, prithee,
It does appear to me,
That atheists in Heaven hear us, you see,
This is a lovely cuppatea,
Yes, cuppatea's one word to me.......

DARKNESS!
Julie Grenness Jan 2017
What can't we see in the dark?
Is a stranger lurking, for a lark?
Is someone under my bed?
What is that noise? Pure dread,
Oh, it's only a wind rising,
in the dark, it's all a bit surprising,
What can't we see in the dark night?
I think I'll switch on the bedside light!

Your romance is sheer delight,
Secret smiles shine so bright,
Hope you have happiest day,
Happy brains don't adult today,

Chips and lollies for me and you,
Send blithe prayers to thee,
Love's bliss--our posterity,
You bring your joyful love to me,
Happy hearts last for eternity.

Spring has sprung,
Fleecies off we have flung,
Blue skies, breezes' balm,
Blossoms drift do charm,
Sunny days, kind and mild,
Springing--we have smiled!

HONESTY.
Julie Grenness Aug 2019
Is honesty the best policy,
In our global society?
A world full of all these isms,
Who does fund terrorism?
Bombs and guns of destruction,
Is this our civilization?
We're only specks of humanity,
Worldwide hypocrisy,
Is honesty the best policy?
Worst of drought seasons,
Ghostly winds howl, reasons
Blaze wildfires' treasons.

SLEAZY RIDER!
Julie Grenness Aug 2019
Long ago, once we were teens,
We all read "Mad" magazines,
Now we read of  Peter Fonda passing,
Down the tarmac ever blasting,
Always in a '****** Rider" cartoon,
Forever young, a classic lampoon!

Over to the Young!
Prompt for all the young,
Think of your digital fun,
Invent some device for the future,
Code a robotic pooper scooper,
For flies, mosquitoes and all pooper,
This no diseases in the future,
Soon that would be a beautser,
Emit water and oxygen,
Lots of ideas you can ken,
Nothing wrong with millenial brains,
Flies, mossies, pooper down the drains!
Cool to have faith,
Limitless, sweet is our prayer
Insight--blessed by the best....

'Those Good Old Days'?
Regard 'Those Good Old Days'?
Bring smiles in own ways,
Writing a book, Any Excuse,
My GSOH is a'loose,
Went to football in past stage,
Good book, turn each page,
"The umpire's a cheat!"
"Yes, our goals incomplete!"
"Our game plan's the same!"
"Yeah, coach is to blame!"
"Let's go home!"
"Yep, home's we'll roam!"
"Leaving already?" Crowd roar,
"Spit the dummy, game's a bore!"
"See you next week!"
"At next game we'll peek!"
Smiling, I hit the sack,
Ignore football, top lifehack.
"Well, that was a long book.
"Those Good Old Days, worth a sook."

I think,'I love you" in any way,
Still in love with you today,

"I adore you," with respect,

You're ever chosen, thoughts riot,
Lover, do keep it quiet!

Sadness Glooms.
Sad can permeate.
Grey, dank days create,
Time heals, does pass by,
Gloom sees end to each sigh,
We all need remedies,
Keep up happy smilies,
Each person can use,
New focus to choose,
Once we all wailed,
Again the assassins have failed,
You'll wake up in your skin,
Cheers! the best medicine!

Dazzling love, wool over eyes,

Enter the virgins we are,
My love does say to me,
He has a mask for intrigue,
As we bask in mild glow,
We're not frigid, I guess,
Love in the afternoon,
Languid, but molten,
Let go, and let love,
He's gone again,
See you, perhaps,
Love you tomorrow at dawn,
Vestals somewhen.......

Spectre, South Pole's chills,
Frost clawing at window sills,
Vague fears, old age thrills....

Critics.
Seagulls,
Carping, such dulls,
A peaceful smiling lulls.
Feedback welcome, rather than critics squabbling over not much at all.
My faith means to me,
For all I see, smiles,
Plan to lead their hopes,
Scope of our prayers,
Power to each pal,
Senior gal does send,
Jesus shows up today,
His gift, don't drift!
Feedback welcome.
Moans, sleep deprivation,
Groans across our great nation.

Blame all dumb inventors,
Droughts, floods, some mentors!

We'll all vanish on timely wings,
Faults saving daylight brings!
Feedback welcome.
For today,
For tomorrow,
And forever, our love keeps growing,
While lucid thoughts share eternal glowing,
I remain,
Always yours,
Your fan!

That Feeling ......
"You need to grow up!'
Critic said. "Why, buttercup?"
Friends serene, still fun
Loving with my honey bun,
Sprinkle magic across all years,
Not to worry, with cheers,
Forty years later, your spell,
Love more heaven than hell,
Guess we're ever juvenile,
Admire you and your smile,
Benefits glow, like sun,
Golden years with my one!
That loving feeling we sought,
Our bless never bought......

No Man Ever.....
No man can understand,
There's Spring Cleaning in our land,
Mrs. Mop and Clean waves her hand.
Snoring is his male band,
Not to worry, no time to sup,
Gals want to sparkle up,
One shelf at a time,
Spray and wipe sublime.,
Fresh is the cupboard smell,
Charity bags cast their spell,
All tidy now, so it seems,
Polished the dog, he gleams,
Must detox my brain,
Wasting thoughts quite inane,
Declutter world still revolving,
Spring Cleaning is evolving!

Lovely!
Lovely, you're still my Valentine,
Romance that is yours and mine,
It's okay to be human, feeling
Sublime, love sends me reeling.
It's okay to love your smile,
Hope we linger a while
In morning glory, all right
Darby, no need to get uptight,
Your woo is more than best,
Spammers, chuck away the rest!
You are Cupid's sweet one,
Older  now, for ageing fun,
Adoring  you, such happy face,
Lovers have an excellent place,
My ode devoted, my heart
Caring for you, let's never part.

Find Him in each hand,
Spreading kindness, Lord, you're fanned,
Pray thank you, so grand!

Seeing our life's stuff through,
Cheering all champs,
