Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

the sea calls us home

Guided by the moon

The undying sail the sea

West to Valinor

Thanks to Sadje for Keeping It Alive  When I saw this picture (for her What Do You See challenge), the end of the Lord of the Rings saga immediately popped into my head. So here is my (with apologies to J.R.R. Tolkien for my rather lame and by Tolkien standards way too short) ode to setting off from the Grey Havens headed to Valinor.

Flash Fiction, tutto e niente

Unlock Her Heart

“To find what you seek, unlock the castle doors. Precious beyond words. But only words will open the way.”

“Open sesame!”

“Abracadabra”

“Shazam”

No luck. Jane’s heart was trapped behind those doors and they’d made it a game. But she was good at games. Think! Hours passed. Then she remembered. Gandalf! Say friend and enter!

“Words!”

And her heart bound out the door.
