Magpie Tales: All My Secrets


All My Secrets

My mind, my heart,
my gut responses, my breath,
even my angled knee.

All you want to know
is here, half hidden,
though I had hoped to shelter

inner parts of myself covered
in marble, white and cold.
But you can find my essence

with a pull on soft handles
that reveal all in parts.

Magpie Tales: This Old House

Wind of History by Jacek Yerka
Join Magpie Tales for poetry, short vignettes inspired by the weekly photo prompt.

This old man, he played one,
He played knick-knack on my thumb;
With a knick-knack paddywhack,
Give the dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
(origins of the song are unknown, from Wikipedia)


This Old House


This old house, it felt old
Dark and lonely and too cold,
Like a wind tossed ship on a dreary sea
It is no home or refuge for me.


- Gerry@Strummed Words
