Once again, it is a day later than I planned, but it’s for a good reason. I’ve actually been engaged in social activities with family members for once. This is very rare for me as I am that kind of loner who sits at home in front of the computer.
However, maybe this all is a sign of things to change. Maybe I will have a bit more of an adventure from the safe walls of my home. Who knows?
anyways, this is one of those new prompts I started doing over the past little bit. I hope you enjoy these very short poems!
September 5th
I long to #push past
these obstacles made of doubt
that sabotage me
September 6th
Her #shadow cast
by the evenin’ sun
was the giant
she wished
to be.
Its footsteps larger
than the nightmares
that came to call
in the night’s
dark hours.
She tried to remind
herself of that
tucked under
her covers
but
her fears grew
until they consumed her
once more.
September 7th
On swift wings
#Nightfall approached
Its pitch black feathers
fell in swarming shadows
and chased the light
in a playful game
A girl sighed
head rested on hand
in her windowsill
At peace in the dark
she moved to her desk
and lifted her pen
to write
September 8th
In the cold room
he relived memories
picking them apart
for the #omens
they contained
Will-o-wisps
seemed prevalent
dancing on the edge
of his life
but never touching it
He could recall
deaths in vivid detail
of friends and family
until he was alone
In the cold room
September 9th
Emotion is danger
too much
too little
tips a scale
both divine
and cruel
It can fill
the cup
to the brim
or evaporate
both host
and vessel
empty
Let go the
anger
hate
rage
jealousy
envy
they say
it causes damage
to your mind
wears it thin
with time
Teach me how then
September 10th
Waters #follow
the bends
curves
hills
of a land
marred
scarred
defaced
by human hands
Soon Fires #follow
the dried
leaves
trees
rooted in ground
unloved
forgotten
forsaken
by human hands
Then Deaths #follow
the lack of
food
water
on a barren Earth.
September 11th
Good and Bad
Happens in threes
The #Attraction
Forms the link
Like dominoes
Positive attracts positive
Negative attracts negative
It’s a cycle
And it will last
Longer
Than
Time
I say it’s a game
But then
I’m stuck
In the cycle of Threes
September 12th
Walk into the
#Shallows
Walk into the
Hollows
of your own
Heart and Soul
Take a gander
Take a stroll
The mucks and mires
are there to console.
Search through
Cracks
Follow the
Tracks
You’ve made them
Inspired them
Colluded with them
Walk into the
#Shallows
September 13th
Leaves spin and twirl
Like dreidels in the wind
Teased and taunted
By nature’s whim
Crisp flakes of snow
Kiss #green grass
Burying it in warmth
As time begins to pass
Seasons dance as long lost friends
Sharing the same tune
Until the world’s end
