Wordgrove Post & Review

Quoted in the Grove:
Love knows no virtue, no merit; it loves and forgives and tolerates everything because it must. We are not guided by reason.
~Leopold von Sacher-Masoch

My reason, the physician to my love, angry that his prescriptions are not kept, hath left me.
~William Shakespeare

When love is not madness, it is not love.
~Pedro Calderon de la Barca

~Greenie @I Like The Rain
Morning Meet

Tiny wings flutter
soft winds brush my cheek
twinkling sounds ring
from the twittering beak

Brave little mister
dew drops on demand
ruby throat flashes
as he nears my hand

Fingertip offered
a half moon of sweet
golden sunbeams bright
morning meet complete

~ ~

Prewritten:  glove, smokescreen

~BarTalk:
Charity

Life’s aflame and blame’s the match
Torched shame’s abode to level ground
Smokescreen billows hide those who watch

Mad crisis at hand but gloved in love
For holding to instead of falling down
‘Tis a friend who helps not God above

~

Broken Map

That stage of life played in smokescreen
Wear the mask different at Halloween
Wear gloves over feelings so hands are clean
Failed at love but should have seen

Reversed polarities for meeting mates
Mean hearts that touch contaminate
Infecting seed nightmares and dreams
Baby makes three from the pollinate

~

Holly Would

Epic love on the silver screen
Shy love passes a ghost unseen
New love hides self-made smokescreen
Nude love’s lovely but rated obscene
Blue love’s filmed on emotional green screens
Gloved love saves lives with rubberized intervenes
A skin-thin wall rising up between
True Love‘s coming and X-rated onscreen

~

Scenario

Worn leather jacket
Suede vest with a shine
Wears gloves to hide crime
A hatchet man hit in time
A smokescreen for rhyme

5-7-5 x 3

firecracker smokescreen
glove’s residue speaks volumes
prosecution rests
~
Six pack and a pint
Smelled of smoke, screened for the weed
Half in the bag, Love
~
smokescreen, the weapon
castrate voters with contempt
then take off the gloves
