a thought unspoken
like mist inside a bubble
smothering her mind
the jagged edges hidden
until she finds her true voice
Thanks for the inspiration.
Esther’s Writing Prompt for today was VOICE.

Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Fall
I must vent, he roared.
Cracking open the window,
he cried as he fell:
What about the price of eggs!
Now, he’s the one cracked open.
Today’s three words for pensitivity’s challenge are:
UPLIFT
VENT
WINDOW
Sadly, I could find no uplift. Maybe tomorrow.
Ballad of an Early Voter
nervous, feeling fear
touch the screen, colour the box
still the noise bangs on
“I don’t care, do you”? “Trust me!”
comfort your fear, use your spark
For this week’s Wordle Challenge, I managed to create a clumsy tanka that touched on my fear and use all the words: fear, noise, bang, colour, spark, use, touch, care, comfort, trust, feeling, nervous.
old favorites
autumn leaves falling
days turn and the years fly by
sunrise and coffee
our breath floating in the breeze
old jackets warm and faded
undone
reaching for triumph
a quiver reveals the way
filters omitted
undone by a single sigh
cracking the moment open
Inspired by FOWC of OMIT…
Also inspired by a mistake! I somehow managed to get the wrong word list for this week’s Wordle but I used all but one word (!) so I’m sharing it anyway 😉
Triumph, Reveal, Way, Quiver, Sigh, Moment, Cracking, Expansive, Filter, Undone, Reach
