A Sonnet

While the moon gave way
to the winter's drool
the lonely night's grey
hung by the murky pool
rubbing my bleary eyes
a few lines did I spawn
made a few more tries
and Lo! here's the dawn
sun rises like an elf
as mundanities take over
while I insulate myself
beneath the worldly cover
this sonnet I wrote today
and I sling it down your way

Invitation

I cooked a meal for two tonight
kind of hoping that I just might
find you a good reason to drop by
or at least if I could try
I know I may sound stupid now
and made you wonder as to how?
don't lose your mind over it
not as much as a careless whit
its ok if you'd like to pass
and it'd be great if you may ask
for a raincheck to be polite
as next time I may get it right
and I say this with little scowls
as I bought some new plates and bowls
and did my share of homely chores
picked the cobwebs, mopped the floors
but I guess you should never know
a part of me wants you to, though
