The Treasure

#MastoPrompt #Variable #Poetry #Poems #Sonnet #PoetryCommunity #WritingCommunity

A poem in the style of a sonnet, that I have called: The Treasure, inspired by the mastoprompt for the 10th October 2025, Variable

Aching trees creak together in the wind
Festooned between them hang garlands and vines
The green hammock bobs slowly like a spring
Sleepy hand holds empty bottle of wine

The warm air carries sounds off the seashore
A percussion gently brushing the stones
Variable slaps on water from oars
A smiling fisherman rows his way home

Dancing sprites leap from the crackling embers
Pirouetting up in light from the moon
To be here in this moments the treasure
We can all have a piece of this fortune

Relax and be at peace with the world now
Swinging on the wind, I close my eyes - Ciao

'Kids in a sweet shop'

A poem in the style of a sonnet, inspired by the mastoprompt word for 13th October 2025 - Lolly.

I call this piece 'Kids in a sweet shop'

A Treasure of flavours, locked behind glass
Sinister smile, from the sugar bourgeois
Naive temptation, hands warm up brass
Enticing senses, in this sweet boudoir

Tangy bright orange that makes the lips smack
Chocolate mint circle in green foil wrap
Sickly sweet lolly, rainbow powder crack
The bell says its mine, so much to unwrap

A sea of bright wrappers covers the floor
Blow raspberry bubbles, sugar rush grows
Telling dirty jokes that end in guffaws
Almost at the end of this sweet sickly prose

Kids in a sweet shop, moths to a fire
Bellies may ache, but peer pressure's desire
