Travel Theme: Dry

dry

like much else, these come in varying qualities of usefulness

BLAM – there it was right within arm’s reach. Hotel or home, plush or twist, crazy colours or bright white, there’s nothing like wrapping up in a really big towel to make you feel
like a little kid again…

C is for Cat
Craving Camembert mice
Curled Coiled stretching
the yawn a device
of Carnivores striped
to Confound their prey
who scurry off
hurry off
all night and day
no sweet Condolences
no Colligation
of bright-eyed banter
dogged determination
no pangs of Conscience
or Cold Compromise
eat, play, sleep
and pounce
on the prize

XXX – Challenge

xxx acorns

Xasperation
that would be
the X word for this day
a whole year for Xamining
nice or naughty
hard to say
many have been Xcellent
their comportment
above par
Xhausting in the efforts made
Xemplary by far
Xcitable were others
and Xcruciating were the worst
found to be Xecrable
Xcuseless from the first
an endless holiday nightmare
to Xtrapolate
it seems
Xtolling virtues by the score
highs and lows Xtreme
here Xtant vices disappear
while frayed nerves Xtend
’til Xmas Eve
when all is calm
the season’s joy
to you
we send

WWW – Challenge

Would my Wits
Were about me
What in the World
Would I do
Wrestle with the orange ones
Wrangle with the blue
Waver over Whipped cream
Wine-soaked
or Whisky neat
Wolf down all the yellow
eat green ones in the street
Wherever are the pink
Wrapped Wondrous
sweet delights
I’ll save the purple
best for last
and Wish all
a good chocolate night

VVV – Challenge

Victory
cannot only be counted
in the Vestiges
of Vainglorious battle
but rather
in our Vested interests
Vagabond thoughts
that Vibrate
Vacillate
Vex
Spin
in Vicious circles
until Vanquished
Validated
thinly Veiled Victims
that fall
like crumbs
Vocalized
on the plate
of my love
