DAY #41 - Venus the Appeaser

Well now, THIS is a different look at bringing peace, and not without a little bit of irony, I suspect.  What is Venus up to once she hands you your hat?

Venus in Service

by Faerie Maven-Pralou

She is silent as a mouse

Though you hear her throughout the house

Moving from room to room

She is on a mission

To clean up the kitchen

Before the clock strikes noon

What would we do in our life of leisure

Without the help of our dear appeasers

Who wait on us hand and foot

They make our beds and shine our shoes

Iron our shirts and fetch our booze

Without a complaint or a hoot

Never must we wait

To take up a plate

Nor wait for our port to be be poured

Your cars always waiting

Always anticipating

Handing you your hat at the door

DAY #10: The Soothing Space of Neptune

I love it when people try something new.  A big round of applause to Faerie Maven-Pralou for braving haiku for today's featured poem.

Oceans

An attempted Haiku 

By Faerie Maven-Pralou

Waves kiss the seaweed

a tiny spark ignites

as seahorses take flight

The ocean calms me

ebb and flow lulls me to sleep

on a bed of pearls

Fish swish past my ear

Listen closely and I hear

the sea welcomes me

DAY #5: Return to Saturn

Aging

By Faerie Maven-Pralou

I see her staring back at me

From the window glass she can see

A reflection of what use to be

Eyes of blue she sees herself

Once so young and full of stealth

Rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes

If she only knew what the future hides

How fast the time seems to go

My creases and my hair of snow

I wouldn’t trade one minute of time

Every adventure was uniquely mine.

So smile when you are feeling old

And remember what we’ve always been told

Life tends to get better with age

Embrace your wrinkles and keep turning the page
