I've been scribbling again...

Poems in 140 characters or less...

.....

 I need the house to be still
the boiler to stop
 the tap not to drip
my feet not to smell

I doubt they will

......

 how brightly was the light there
that rode upon the rippled sea
unabash'd in it's gayest glare
 so unlike the inner me

.....

 as second cousin she still smarts
to sit with the friends and not at top table
with the family and the good champagne

.....

 only decent wine can match
        the pleasure of a well turned phrase
yet both are candle waxed knuckles burned
        to a kind word on rainy days

........

peace:)
