contemplating you
in the garden of my mind
my eyes on your skin

undone
reaching for triumph
a quiver reveals the way
filters omitted
undone by a single sigh
cracking the moment open
Inspired by FOWC of OMIT…
Also inspired by a mistake! I somehow managed to get the wrong word list for this week’s Wordle but I used all but one word (!) so I’m sharing it anyway 😉
Triumph, Reveal, Way, Quiver, Sigh, Moment, Cracking, Expansive, Filter, Undone, Reach
a new life?
tasting a new life
cerulean memories
(re)awakening

For the visually challenged reader, this image shows a Caucasian baby around one year old, staring into the camera with her big blue-grey eyes. In her hands, she’s holding a wooden block that she is trying to eat.
Thanks for the inspiration to …
dark
bitter to the taste
her tongue touches the abyss
darkness surrounds her
This dark piece was inspired by …
Elvis Alive!
Humpty Dumpty fell
And the crash was heard by all
Still, they said, don’t tell
False flags and footprints
Just like that infamous bell
Preexisting cracks
A story to sell
Elvis alive in freefall
Spinning carrousel
This is in response to two different challenges. One was to write a nine-line verse with this rhyme scheme: a b a c a d a b a, with c and d unrhymed.
The second was to address the notion of the Mandela Effect. I’m not sure if this qualifies, as it’s a non-narrative way to riff about some infamous (or ridiculous) notions, including conspiracies about 9/11, school shootings, the moon landings, and Elvis, but here it is.
