Homeless, and haunting, his story, quite old
Living a vagrant’s life, in this world, so cold
Once proud to serve, with honor and respect
He finds himself, returned, empty and wrecked
Word of the Day – Haunting
Ragtag Daily Prompt – Vagrant

Spun in golden, silken threads, with wings upon her back
She beckons to the one who’s lost, to keep him on her track
Seductive eyes and lips of red, he falls for her completely
As she lures him to her trap, ever so discretely
Into the forest, and fairy light, he follows her hypnotic gaze
Unaware of what’s ahead, his mind, confused, a clouded haze
She turns again, just to be sure, he hasn’t lost his way
Once again she coyly smiles, as he gets swept away
In golden splendor, through the trees, no innocence remains
For she has taken all he has, his spoils are now her gains

Spinning and spiraling, in total control
Its course set, for certain destruction
Sights zoomed in, on the planet ahead
All were ready, for another abduction
Colorful bands, swirling round and round
Meant to mesmerize the lower beings
In yellows and reds, violets and greens
Made this vision, a sight so worth seeing
Unaware of its diabolical plans, were they
No room for both of them, in outer space
This prismatic entity, was well on its way
To, at last, eliminate, the human race
January Writing Prompt – The universe just wasn’t big enough for both of them – Day 24/31

Let’s, for a moment, immerse ourselves
In the beauty of life that surrounds us
Drink in the copious fruits, of the world
Instead of instigating hatred, around us
Word of the Day – Instigate
FOWC with Fandango – Copious
Ragtag Daily Prompt – Immerse

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”. You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you. More info can be found in the link below.
Oh my, Petunia, this is just what we need
Do you think anyone will notice, if we go?
Her cat looked out, in a most curious way
Not quite sure what happened to the snow
Through the door of her dreams, lay a beach
Blue skies, white clouds, and palm trees sway
Not like back home, with the dark and drear
Where the days were nothing more than gray
The sun brightened, as they stood there in awe
Warmth filled this place, not covered in white
Surely, they wouldn’t miss them, for a short while
The one’s left back home, on that cold winter night
