Bound in the shadows
tormented by memories
Autumn’s light beckons
Thanks to Mind Love Misery Menagerie’s Sunday Word challenge (tormented) and to Crispina Kemp’s Creative Challenge for the inspirational photo.

learning to cope (a haiku)
hope once gone returns
resurrecting the story
as paradigms shift
AUTHOR’S PHOTO
I had multiple inspirations today, but it began with Mind Love Misery Menagerie’s challenge to write about COPING. Add in the WOTD Challenge to use PLOT (for which I substituted “story”) and Fandango’s FOWC prompt of PARADIGM and here we are.
Here’s to a hopeful Sunday.
but, still (or the magic door)
Susan felt like a fool. It was 1977 not 1957. My god, she was a liberated woman! How could she fall for his line?
Stupid!
But, still, she stayed. Remembering. Champagne. His voice in her ear. “I can’t tell you where I’m going but meet me here on Christmas Eve.”
Stupid!
Did she think she was Deborah Kerr in some kind of Hollywood movie? She should go.
Stupid!
But, still, she stayed. Remembering. Laughter. Sparkling blue eyes. “This’ll be our magical place.”
Stupid!
But, still, she stayed. Waiting. Till she heard those whispered words: “Hey beautiful. Is this seat taken?”

These 100 hopeful words were written for Rochelle’s Friday Fictioners Challenge.
Was it in her head or did he come through the magical doors?
blue hope
Our blues turn azure
imagining the future

Feeling a bit of hope this week. Thanks to Sadje’s WDYS Challenge for giving me a chance to articulate it.
after the storm
falling from grace, shame
left cold in the dirt, crying
rising, triumphant
Thanks to Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge for the haiku word prompts (fall / cold) and to Tales from the Mind of Kristian Word Prompt for the storm theme.
