Captured In Chalk

RDP Tuesday: vast

Our Solar System-

 part of a vast and boundless Universe

captured in chalk

and brought to Earth

by some kids in my neighborhood.

It will come to this for some of us.

You know, if you’re one of the  lucky ones.

A Girl’s Best Friend

RDP-Sunday-COMPRISE

A classic beauty, a sight to behold

if I were more like her

I might have known true love

I’d have been wined and dined showered with gifts

loved, cherished, coddled

only the sweetest truest kisses would have touched  my lips .

 

But yesterday my dog

put away his own toys

he can open doors and close them

he’s a very good boy.

 

I’m not a classic beauty

I’ve never been a sight to behold

but my dog thinks I’m pretty damn awesome

and that’s good enough for this girl.

RDP SATURDAY: PUNCH

A closed fist, an opened hand a jab of the finger

a gesture with a cruel point.

A cool festive drink, often served cold and always sweet

given the place of honor on a holiday table.

A psychotic puppet with a maniacal laugh

Mr. Punch is all of these things.
