I play a game with my friend where we randomly pick words and or phrases then each write a poem with them.
This is mine for 'case' and 'buzz'
A rattling carriage bumps through town
With dusty blue and horses brown
And tucked inside, all knees and shins
A handsome moustached gentleman
His bowler bent towards his eyes
He smells of maple sugar pies
And something else, a curious nose
Of jimson weed and rubber hose
Between his feet, a case of hide
With trefoil stitch and buckles wide
And from a tag that hangs, a brand
An artful mystery monogram
He hangs a pipe down from his lip
And taps his teeth upon the tip
A lurch and lean, the coach winds down
The buzz, the bark, the flies, the hound
A raucous welcome, snaps a grin
Around his eyes, above his chin
He steps outside, with creaking bone
A ghost returned to hearth and home
This is mine for 'case' and 'buzz'
A rattling carriage bumps through town
With dusty blue and horses brown
And tucked inside, all knees and shins
A handsome moustached gentleman
His bowler bent towards his eyes
He smells of maple sugar pies
And something else, a curious nose
Of jimson weed and rubber hose
Between his feet, a case of hide
With trefoil stitch and buckles wide
And from a tag that hangs, a brand
An artful mystery monogram
He hangs a pipe down from his lip
And taps his teeth upon the tip
A lurch and lean, the coach winds down
The buzz, the bark, the flies, the hound
A raucous welcome, snaps a grin
Around his eyes, above his chin
He steps outside, with creaking bone
A ghost returned to hearth and home
