The Game

trick or treat, she said

a silly game to pass time

but the trick felt real

It’s Tanka Tuesday Synonyms only day! 

And today’s words (which we can’t use) are PLAY and HOBBY.  I tried to adhere to the idea in both words (trick or treat, game, pass time) and in theme (her hobby was to play with people). Thanks Colleen. Not sure the theme fits in the traditional rules but t’was fun!

Mother Earth: Nevertheless She Persisted

cracked

Dark seeps through the rift.  

The creator of days persists

Still, the shadows grow.

Not feeling particularly hopeful or cheery tonight, but thanks for the inspiration go to Putting My Feet in the Dirt and Sue’s #WritePhoto Prompt

Check out their sites for other great writing.

And as an FYI, the super gloomy shadow shot is mine.

Easy Rider

wistful dreams recalled

of daring easy riders

conjuring desire

I actually was a too young to have any thoughts about Easy Rider when it first came out but as a teenage I became obsessed with guys on motorcycles. And Peter Fonda on a bike-woo hoo! Probably a good thing I didn’t see the movie until years later (many years–I think I was in my 40s). Not sure if seeing the movie as a teen would have wrecked my obsession or not 😉 but I would have hated to miss out on that Fonda crush.

So thanks for the memories Ronovan Writes
