Crouching low
she turns with a smile,
inviting,
smooth white limbs
encased in mesh, not feathers
will she fly with me?

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #53
I asked my single mum, neighbour, Denise
to come with me on my boat out to sea
as the temperature rose
she stripped off all her clothes
but sadly her dark hair stretched right down to her knees

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt #130 ‘Ineffable.’
Our prompt this week is that we may compose
using just a few lines of verse or piece of prose

if you know the meanings of words just like me
so you can imagine my distress
choosing lines for my own WordPress blog

Heeding Haiku With Chèvrefeuille, October 30th 2019, Bluebells
Best tread warily,
beneath this fragrant carpet,
sleeping fairies lie.
Colleen’s 2019 Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 151 #SynonymsOnly Dig & grave ~Time is no healer

Colleen’s Weekly Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge . #Tanka ~Dreamland
One thousand fireflies
cast shadows in the meadow,
all to no avail,
darkness calls for silence though
crickets chirrup on the breeze.

to the rhythm of the rain

Samiscribbles weekend writing prompt #125 ~A familiar ultimatum

As I replaced another clean puppy pad, the hound-dog from Hell had released another stream of steaming fluid onto the caramel coloured shag pile. Time to make my stand. “That’s it dog, once more and you’re banished,” I shouted, through my smile.

In the beginning
actions at first thought funny
then a little odd,
descent into psychosis
served to provide the answer
