Smickering strangers:
A prophesy for shame or
Arbitrary love?
Thanks for the flirty inspiration to Fandango (arbitrary) and to Tales from the Mind (smicker)
And for those of you (like myself) that need to know, one of the the definitions of smicker is “to ogle and smile amorously.” So go forth and SMICKER! You never know were it might lead 😉
the monkey gazes
adoringly at himself
as they kiss his ass
Views are my own but thanks for the inspiration to Ronovan Writes and his challenge to use chimpanzee (which I subbed in monkey) and kiss in a haiku.
*My apologies to actual monkeys, apes, chimps ….

Thanks for the inspiration to Putting My Feet in the Dirt for the lovely phrase prompt (lit by the dawn) and to Colleen’s poet’s choice challenge.
in hope we inscribe
the page where the heart speaks words
writ where all can see
Thanks to Putting My Feet in the Dirt for the beautiful phrase: the page where the heart speaks words.
rising together
yesterday not forgotten
but looking ahead
for the hope of tomorrow
is to become transcendent
Thanks to Colleen and her Tanka Tuesday Theme Prompt. Visit her site for details and great writing.
My tanka was inspired by current events as well as the provided theme: A Psalm of Life by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:
“…Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time…”
