November 3rd, poem number 3:

Just don't mention the price....
There was an airport nearby
And I've always wanted to fly
So I took a trip
Down the air-strip
And wasn't I feeling sky-high!

November 4th, poem number 1:

Wet Season
The raindrops are coming down hard
There's a lake where there once was a yard
The dog has jumped in
And is learning to swim
So it looks like I'm now the life-guard

November 4th, poem number 2:

Let's Meet At Sixish
Who says that I'm always too late?
I think there is room for debate
The truth is, that surely,
It's you that is early
Maybe you just like to wait?

November 4th, poem number 3:

Wildfire
It started with one single spark
Then roared through the national park
We mustered our powers
And fought it for hours
'Til finally that fire went dark

November 5th, poem number 1:

(from the prompt word, "aardvark")


The Aardvark comes out at night
Dull fur, but with eyes shining bright
It sniff-snuffs like a pig,
Lives deep in its dig,
And is quite an uncommon sight.

November 5th, poem number 2:

(from the prompt word, "cynic"):

Red Tape
Don't give up the paperwork fight!
Though the piles grow with no end in sight....
I may be a cynic
But here in our clinic
It's worse than any health plight. :qsweat: :qd:

(From the prompt word, "riboflavin"):

All Puns Intended
Anemia runs in my blood
And iron alone is a dud
But then my health maven
Found riboflavin
And now my blood's thicker than mud

November 6th, poem number 1:

(from prompt "dance"):

Socially Inept
I'm told you can flirt with a glance
It's a tool in the old mating dance
But when I try
To catch an eye
I always miss my chance

November 6th, poem number 2:

(from prompt word "treat"):

After Halloween
We partied all night 'til the dawn
There's zombie decor on the lawn
My hubby complains:
The detritus remains
But already the treats are all gone.
