searching the night sky
one pair better than just one
alone together
Inspiration for this haiku challenge comes from this great illustration: “At the Window” – Juliana Kolesova provided by Susi at I Write Her.

Her Silent Secret
The probing light didn’t break her desperate silence but it did reveal her silent secret.
This 15 word story was inspired by the photo prompt from Ronda Del Boccio courtesy of Rochelle’s always fun Friday Fictioners Challenge AND Sammi’s challenge to write about “silence’ in exactly fifteen words. For me, the photo and the idea of silence seemed a perfect match, so here we are …. 🙂
Dare to Dream
Just a girl they say
Just one more pop wanna be
Just watch me she says
This haiku was inspired by this wonderful piece of art by Vincent Giarrano provided courtesy of the photo challenge at Mind Love Misery Menagerie and by the train of thought inspired the word of the day (daredevil) courtesy of Tales from the Mind of Kristian.
I See Me
my mind full, spinning
dusty on the edges, but
shining with ideas
Today’s word prompt (self) for Linda’s JuJoJan Challenge was courtesy of But I Smile Anyway
Go! Visit them both!
The idea of self was obviously twirling around in my brain because when I saw Helen’s Photo Prompt I immediately thought–that reminds me of my brain! Always spinning around some great idea while my car keys get lost in the dusty cobwebs!
Cassie & Nessie (Part II)
I didn’t plan a Part II but when the muse strikes …. You can find the original Cassie & Nessie here.
And now the story continues …
Not for the first time, Liam stared at Cassie and wondered if being in a coma was like dreaming.
Months had passed since they found her floating face-down in the Loch. And still no indication that she was ever going to surface again. Sad? Yes. But, really, probably for the best.
She had spent the past twenty years researching. Believing. And then the story broke.
She had been so angry.
Screaming at him. Accusing him of betraying her for money. Screeching really. It had NOT been attractive. Ugly really.
Earsplitting shrieking. “Nellie’s not a commodity. She’s not for sale!” So obsessed with that damn fish. So worried that the publicity would endanger Nessie.
And now. This.
It would break her heart.
Plus he couldn’t be sure she hadn’t seen him at the Loch that day.
She looked so lovely now. It really would be best if she never surfaced.
Thanks to Crimson’s Creative Challenge for providing the photo by Crispina Kemp. I’m not sure what the photo actually depicts but to me it was poor Nessie’s bones. (And it comes in at a tight 147 words.)
And thanks for additional push to One Daily Prompt (believe)
And of course a big thanks to the original inspiration, a Friday Fictioners challenge from last month and the photo by C.E. Ayr.
