#Badger bites are rough,
leave them be, you are not tough!
I tried to chase one.
until I landed in #pirl.
What a way to end a whirl.

Eat your porridge, do.
Find proper vegetables, too.
Then do, what you want.
Life is complicated, but
guilt trips get you in a rut.

Grateful having heard
Sparrow, modest looking bird.
I stand on gravel
and I watch her with her kind.
Simple pleasure nice to find.

Standing in corners,
breathing calmly, unwinding.
Clearing my mind, slow.
Physical meditation
Labyrinths are not riddles.

Catching snowflakes with
my siblings, building snow forts
with dad helping us.
Temperature colder than seen
for many years, we had fun.

Hermit or just shy?
Neither, I must, quickly cry!
Just a little lost.
Feeling deepest coldest frost
packed up in my heart of hearts.

Travel North, my friend.
Aurora Borealis,
the beauty of life;
Lights fill the sky with colors.
Hard to describe unique sight.

Moon is risen, now.
Light focuses on it's face.
Clouds stand guard by it,
float, showing as they are lit.
Colors in darkness they chase.

Take a peek: treasure!
One numbers can not measure,
words bafely describe.
Protect it with care, like flame.
A feeling we must not name.

I think we all just
wait around for better things.
Catching a rainbow.
I wish I could bring shelter
to everyone, and at once.

Gnome sits, plays a harp
at Pond of The Golden Carp.
Across the water
Ethereal lady beckons:
"Come join my travels, young man!"

Kids like to squashle,
grown ups are less keen on it.
Dogs will dive in deep,
if they can, not just a dip.
very tight at home all sleep.

First snow feels magic
every year, even worst times.
Something new, hopeful.
You get used to it, maybe.
But it can still give you peace.

Perk up, Buttercup.
The guests are on their way up.
Smile and try to please.
Put other people at ease.
Be funny, witty grown up.

Clear day at the fair,
people running by laughing.
Cotton candy stand,
full of sticky flimsy fun.
Screams from the rollercoaster.

Sweet and sour cakes,
strong Finnish salmiakki:
- salty liquorice!
I sure want the strangest things.
Sit down, have a sip of tea.

SlightlyHowling.net: "Poetry – Howling at The Void 2". This is probably way too much poetry, even for poetry fans. They are rescued from my account (Tw) which I am closing down. The pic by me.

While I am working to relaunch my blog, I have rescued these poems from it's previous incarnation. They were made based on prompts on social media. Enjoy. (pic by me) slightlyhowling.net/posts/poetry...
