alarm bells ring out
the moon looms in the heavens
my nightmare made real
devious beauty
the golden lava cascades
foretelling the end
Oops-I’m back with some doom and gloom. Thanks to Linda and Susi for the inspiration.
alarm bells & devious beauty

SenHai Saturday
a secret laid bare
shimmering and breakable
splendor in the grass
icy mystery
moonlight reveals a glimmer
winter’s calling card
double dog dare
What’s that splotch on your forehead?
I won. That’s what matters.
You won? What?
Cash money!
NO! How? What did you do?
So Jimmy and me was in the park by the river.
Were.
Were what?
You and Jimmy WERE in the park.
I know. I just said.
Forget it. Go on.
Well… there’s this tree.
Yes?
And it’s got these knobs and a big bendy branch.
And?
Jimmy dared me to climb to the top and shimmy down the bendy part. Bet me ten bucks.
You didn’t.
Did. Head first. WINNER!
Except for your head.
Totally worth it!

The joy of childhood splotches! Thanks for the inspiration to Friday Fictioners’ photo, RDP’s word (SPLOTCH, and Esther’s Weekly Writing Prompt (MONEY). Twas fun!
buried fury
buried deep inside
embers turn to ash and bone
waiting for a spark
rekindled love fans the flames
the candle burns with fury
Today’s FOWC (CANDLE) and the WDYS photo prompt brought to mind fury and love and buried secrets… thus my bit of verse. Thanks to both for the inspiration.
begin again
at the beginning
the day dawns on the big game
my eye on the prize
seasons come and go
without beginning or end
from a bird’s eye view
Thanks to SoCS and SenHai Saturday for the inspiration!
