It’s way past my curfew
There goes the whole night
I’ll be up past the moon
See the sun glisten bright

The caffeine’s kicking in
Too much coffee ingested
Can’t waste any of it
When there’s creamer invested

I won’t dump a whole pot
Down the drain, just because
My body needs sleep
But my mind doesn’t pause

I have to keep writing
Get the words out of my head
There’s no time, like the present
I can sleep, when I’m dead

So I’ll make me another
Might as well stay awake
Make it into Guinness’ book
For the longest coffee break

Rolling hills, verdant, green, azure skies of blue, white puffy clouds float along with the breeze, ah, summer, I’ve been waiting, for you. Flowers decorate the meadows below, a sea of white, they are nature’s reflection. Oh, how I long to get lost, in the glow, of Heaven’s purest perfection. The scent in the air, breathes my thoughts to the wind, pondering, where this season rescinds; the warmth of her touch, giving in to the fall, oh, summer, you’re not nearly long enough, at all. So I shall plant, this image in my head, dream of these days, when winter, instead, has brought in the frost, to cover the land, and pray once again, for sweet summer, so grand.

 

I combined Sue’s #writephoto and ~M’s Daily Writing Prompt  🙂

Ripening fuzz balls

Peaches, kissed by morning sun

Delight the taste buds

Nature’s Reflection ~ #poetry #AugustWriting

She is a natural beauty, with skin so fair

Her face reflects, in the water, where

The forest trees join her, in sweet repose

Though keeping an eye on her, lest she expose

The vulnerability, for just a moment or two

A vision of one, whose pain pulls her through

Never allowing the others, to find her like this

She keeps herself hidden, so near the abyss

Of water, before her, will she make the connection?

Is it really her, she sees, or merely nature’s reflection?

Barbed Brickles ~ #poetry #AugustWriting

Barbed and brittle, branches reach

Clawing their way, from the ground

Forgotten, against a wall of stone

No flowers will bloom, no life around

He left them to die, for no reason at all

The only feeling for him, now, is scorn

This human one, who cares not for them

For him, they have blossomed in thorns
