Short Poems by Dawn Pisturino
Love Your Man
Love your man and love him well;
Give all you can and time will tell
The consequences, good or ill.
But love him still.

Attack on Libya
All around the terrorist camp
The monkey chased the weasel;
The monkey thought ’twas all in fun:
Pop! Goes the weasel.
A billion for the air raid,
A million for the missile;
That’s the way the money goes:
Pop! Goes the weasel.

Sorrows
Sorrows come and sorrows go,
Pleasures last a day;
I know not why He made it so:
I wish it were the other way!

The Airplane
I looked into the big, big sky
And watched an airplane passing by;
I was too small for him to see,
And so he never noticed me.

Such difference to absorb together. It took me a minute for the transitions. Powerful.

Lol, that is quite a character, i knocked myself off the chair, watching his theatrics.
I lingered a while to admire this pattern of emotions you knitted together in such simplicity so we can see and feel each motif for what it is
🌸Sorrows come and sorrows go,
Pleasures last a day;
I know not why He made it so:🌸
Such a mystery,
And that Airplane though. I wonder if pilots these days look out for little ones like you? Take a picture and write a story…lol…
