To remain forever young was
Dawn’s wish for her lover Tithonus
but as with all these mythical tales
such a request was doomed to fail.

Crimsons Creative Challenge #279 #Tourney at the magic cottage
O’er hill and dale, from forests green
came fairies , denizens of dreams
for as was the custom in this land
a trial was set to claim the hand
of the fair and beautiful Trixie,
daughter of the King of pixies
From northern lands came Knghts and Lords,
all were armed with lance or sword
warrior magicians, heroes, clerics,
and dark skinned Sheikhs and mystics
their swords and scimitars made of gold
eager to claim this prize foretold
in legends and their country’s fables
discussed at length o’er dining tables
in an enchanted forest this cottage stands
invisible to any mortal man
but if somehow this house be seen
t’would appear nought but a dream
Ronovan writes #Decima prompt challenge #82 The treasure seekers
As they started poking around
they found a bone covered in slime
that had been there for a long time
so decided they should dig down
and see what else was in the ground
the story goes or so I’m told
it seems it started to grow cold
this they found to be quite eerie
by now they were getting weary
and all were lost as was the gold

Ronovan writes #Decima prompt #77 Night sky wonders
I looked up to the skies last night
and marvelled at the starry scene
but knowing much was left unseen
for if the moon is shining bright
small things are hidden from our sight
when in the moon’s reflected glow
they do seem reluctant to show
being so naturally shy
they easily avoid our eye
standing in wonder far below

In the dark, cold night
we witness the Northern lights
with eyes of a child

Just one sign of life
answers an age old question
yet gains us nothing

Samiscribbles weekend writing prompt #213
And so I am released from my Solar tethers. From this point the world is my oyster although in this case it should read either worlds or eventually galaxy. For I am Voyager two, a small but very significant part of mankind’s plan for an answer to the second most fundamental question. For forty-five years I have been exploring and reporting on the furthest reaches of our close solar system but now I am finally released from programmed paths and orbits. My debt is paid and my solo quest begins. Wish me luck.

Across western skies
see Hyperion drive his
chariot
in splendour
expelling Luna’s , shaded
icy grip.

Pumpkins and candles
coax loud screams from the children
on Eve of all Hallows
When the pen takes control.
