His chirp continues
through the soft orange twilight
while street lamps waken.

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #201
While I was sitting in my room
from next door’s radio came a tune
a few minutes passed as I listened
feeling slow tears as my eyes glistened
knowing I’d heard the tune before
probably from some movie score
Barber’s Adaggio for strings apparently
which William Orbit arranged so fluently.

On crisp morning air
calm rhythmic breaths form soft clouds
birth of Winter mists.

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #200 Clubbing it
Last Saturday we went down the pub,
later on, we carried on to a club,
imagine my surprise when I saw my sister
naked, pole-dancing in the, “Buena Vista.”

Samiscribbles weekend writing prompt #199 #Tables of Terror
Discoveries found quite episodic
gave to us a list that rang melodic
so even those who would feel it all too much
of a strain could successfully remain in touch
and not appear to their peers quite so dense
as they recited the names of the elements.

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #55
I looked at my neighbour
and she looked at me
then she smiled, bowed her head
and asked if I could see
that we and all the the other posts
were painted quite brightly.
I asked her for the reason
and with a smile of glee,
she said tonight when the park is closed
we will dance round the old dead tree
Colleen’s 2019 Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 155 #SynonymsOnly End/Hurry
Hare, knew the result
was a foregone conclusion
no point in rushing,
the triumph of the tortoise
became the stuff of legend.
Sue Vincent’s #Writephoto ~Light #Shadorma
In Western skies
Hyperion’s son
in fiery
chariot,
expelling dark eyed Luna’s,
cold nocturnal grip

My mind is a mess,
moulding intense emotions,
maelstrom of madness.

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt #133 ~Thoughts of Yew.
I stand in silence exuding the dignity expected by my infrequent, reluctant visitors. Casting long shadows over the darkened windows, the black lace veils and dark suits so seldom aired. Offering comfort through familiarity to the grief-stricken, the respectful onlookers, the older ones knowing what best to say and do. Inwardly I smile for have I not, like many of my kind, stood guard at the cemetery gates for half of my two hundred year life.
