The old chorister

spends his days in song and faith

knows death holds no fear

#Weekly Tanka Prompt #Poetry Challenge – Week 103 – Summer & Breeze

Doldrums 

On the calm waters

the majestic vessel sits

in expectation.

Captain and crew all waiting

for signs of a Summer breeze.

A veil gives safety

as you watch mosquitoes

Reaching for the stars.

Bewitched by false charms

while still inexperienced,

seeking affection.

Preying on naivety

soon their lust brought her ruin.

It was not pure chance

that drove Kingdoms to unite

but faith in Alfred.

Sue Vincent’s weekly #Writephoto beach frolics

sea-mist1

Listen to the torpid, turquoise waters,
langorously lapping at the sun scorched sands.
Imagine the tall, curving, coco-palm trees
casting welcome shadow over gay steel-bands
Parasols swirling, laughing ladies, clutch their
high, iced glasses in painted, long-nailed hands.
Gaze upon the lithe, lissome half naked bodies
in their bold, bright costumes, showing golden tans.
When the bright golden sun’s rays turn to crimson
driftwood is gathered and barbecues are manned.
As the fading light becomes tropical evening
everyone’s dreams and pleasures on demand.
Tuned dustbin lids polished, glowing in the fires
while stamping  and dancing capture the rhythm of the land

Make a donation.

Your heart torn by emotion

trying to ignore

the bowls thrust out forlornly

expecting to get nothing

Sue Vincent’s weekly #Writephoto

shadow-wings (1)

Upon a branch a squirrel sat,
when far below he spied a cat
aha he said you can’t catch me
i know you cannot fly you see
but the foolish squirrel didn’t know
while teasing pussy far below,
an owl was hovering overhead,
heard the taunting words he said.
Thinking here’s a tasty snack
he swooped and gripped the squirrel’s back
with beating wings and talons full

that’s the last we’ll see of poor squirrel,
