Rising from the sea
Autumn’s sun turns the sky red
as the palm trees sleep
Thanks for the inspiration to Frank Tassone’s Fall themed haiku challenge and to Travel Talk’s Sunrise Challenge.
The Sun Rising on Autumn’s Tropical Foliage
color of change
hope is a rainbow
with its shades a reflection
a path marked for all
Thanks to Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge inspirational words of shade and scorch (which I subbed in marked) and to Colleen’s Poet’s Choice Challenge.
NOW MASK UP AND VOTE!!!!
the calm before the storm
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.
