Thursday photo prompt #Wicker #writephoto

wicker dancers

In the field there danced three witches

no bones nor flesh just willow switches,

holding hands they whirled around

though their feet never left the ground,

while all who watched were filled with glee

laughing at their transparency

nothing to worry us here they said

one good fire and the witch is dead.

Carpe Diem #1665 Tan Renga – “Miscanthus bud”

another year is gone
a traveler’s shade on my head,
straw sandals at my feet
Bashō

moments, like a passing breeze

served as tutor for my soul

Heart

Simply put but oh. so true.

When one feels good or when misunderstood
The heart cries more than the eyes ever could!

sunrise over the mountain,

our world is brightened

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #27

come-dance-in-may

A silly young girl from Lynton

took a stroll across the meadow for fun

but her shorts were miniscule,

she took off her blouse to keep cool

now she has bites where she’d rather have none

Thursday photo prompt: Rooted #writephoto #Tanka

x-ray-207

Clad in matching tones

lovers fixed in cold embrace

their limbs entwined.

Shy beneath their parasol

whispering with the wind.

I saw the pail tip

yet still it caused me to slip,

pride before a fall

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #105 -Denial

BA3D8A4C-F19F-4E59-8B73-23D45D65DBF4

Sandra felt detached, as if standing looking at herself from a few feet away. Somehow surprised at her imagined facial expression, it was certainly not how she felt. Inside she was smiling. The casket stood dark and aloof, the lid balanced on end. The face inside was ashen, smooth, parchment dry. Her mother, released from life, freeing Sandra from her years of denial. She had expected more emotion, probably not sadness, a feeling more akin to relief.
