Writer. Feminist. Historian. Person.
Thanks to the following challenges for the inspiration. Please visit them for more details and some great writing. (Please note, I did use SOUL instead of SPIRIT–I liked the way it sounded.
buried history
a harrowing tale of woe
carelessly unearthed
Thanks to #FOWC for offering HARROWING as an inspirational word.
one moment in time
to seize the impossible
and breathe in the now
Thanks to Dverse Poets! and their Leap day poetics challenge.
Every day I pass this place and wonder.
Are you watching over me?
Did your passing change your face?
Does your smile ever reach your eyes?
Did your shattered fragments become whole?
Or are you still laughing as I stumble?
Not sure exactly what this is–poetry or flash or a weird combo, but thanks for the inspiration to girlie on the edge’s Six Sentence Story Challenge and Crimson’s Creative Challenge.
the curtain rises
born with intuitive grace
we bask in the show
then tears build a wall
and days unfurl into years
the party grows old
till a new moon shines
nothing left (or right) to chance
toss the dice once more
in the hush we feign
betting on the hand of fate
to change destiny
but stripped to the bone
the curtain of darkness falls
a shroud for the shame
still the day begins
a trick of light and shadow
burning umber sky
an unwary smile
a mask we still wear each day
hiding our true face
intolerable
Thanks to Carrot Ranch 99 Word Story Challenge for the inspiration to try something a bit different for me- a narrative poem of sorts.
