Morning calms the ire
Still, the harbinger proclaims
A storm is coming

Welcome to the Neighborhood
Jessie tried (unsuccessfully) to keep her expression neutral, but the cottage was perfect! Exactly as advertised. Exposed brick. Plank floors. Fireplaces. A patio for morning coffee and afternoon wine.
“So what do you think?”
“It seems nice but …” She scrambled for some price-reducing flaws. “… but what’s with all the garlic?”
“Seller quirk. Easy fix. Let’s talk price.”
—————————————————————
As Jessie watched the sun set from her newly garlic-free patio, she heard knocking. Finding a gorgeous—albeit very pale—man on her doorstep, she said “Yes” before he even finished asking.
“Welcome neighbor. Invite me in for a drink?”
Thanks to Rochelle’s Friday Fictioners Challenge for the inspiration for this 100-word piece of Flash Fiction. Plus I got to use a photo of one of my fave vampires-Eric.
bidding the night sky good morn
beginning anew
the sun dawns on a fresh day
as the night sky sleeps
Thanks to Colleen’s Night Sky Theme for the inspiration.
the equinox
in the space between
the fury of autumn’s wind
slows the sun’s ardor
Thanks to Ronovan Writes for haiku challenge words (fury/slow) and to Frank’s haiku challenge for the equinox idea.
body heat
honeyfuggle me
sing bon mots about mon coeur
melt my resistance
whisper words sweet like sugar
until I’m bound by your spell
Thanks to the WOTD Challenge for teaching me a new word (honeyfuggle) and to Frank’s haiku challenge for inspiring me one more time!
