yearning for passion
pouting petals come alive
lips red with desire

After yesterday’s dark contribution (red decay) I thought I’d offer a slightly less depressing piece. Visit dVerse Poets for details about their Seeing Red Challenge and to read other great pieces.
Thanks to Putting My Feet in the Dirt for giving me the perfect prompt (pouting petals) for this second chance.
engorged buds of red
the scent sweet for a moment
masking the decay
Thanks to dverse poets for the red inspiration. Visit them for details and additional contributions.
I
high above the sea
the sun bright upon his back
the fight has been won
II
the bright sea beneath
one moment of blissful joy
still, the fight is done
Thanks to Ronovan Writes for the inspiration (bright & fight) for this fishy tale.
Hamlet once proclaimed
(To keep guilty thoughts at bay)
The play’s the thing
Social distancing fever? Perhaps. Sorry Will!
Thanks to Ronovan Writes! This week we were tasked with using ‘play’ and ‘bay’ in a haiku. T’was fun!
we muddle through it
to greet a new age with love
and live life once more

In keeping with Linda’s SoCS’s dictate to do minimal editing, I wrote this 16 word (17 syllable) haiku on the fly but I think it captures the essence of my (our?) world right now. Peace. And thanks to Sammi for the added challenge and inspiration!
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL POETRY DAY!
