I’m selfish
I try to let go
And find myself
Still hanging on
It’s not easy
You know
It becomes a part
Of oneself
Until it breaks
And breaks, again
The pieces falling
Haphazardly
Endlessly
And when I try
Hopelessly
To hang on to
What I never let go of
I find it’s really me
Falling apart

Cocooned in hoarfrost
A flower sleeps, awaiting
Til spring’s cradling warmth

Halloween night ends
When the last candle flickers
And Jack says goodbye

Look at the goodies, we grabbed up today
All from the neighbors, who live down our way
We just couldn’t wait, we weren’t that strong
We ate all the candy, although it was wrong
Slurping up chocolate, what a hideous sight!
Charlie kept burping, the rest of the night
Til we all made it home, alas, to our beds
But all of the sugar had gone to our heads
We couldn’t sleep, this wasn’t right
To be in our house on this Halloween night
So we all sneaked out, round the neighborhood
Hoping again, we would find something good
Writing Prompt: Slurps and Burps – Day 31/31 – Can you believe it! 31 days of writing prompts are over!! Thanks for all the fun, Michelle! Now, where are November’s writing prompts?

The candlelight flickers
Shadows dance along
Moving, like gentle breezes
Breathing grows quicker
As passion grows strong
She is his, to do as he pleases
The night grows black
And shadows emerge
The wind picks up in the trees
What was that whack?!
Twas the sound of a scourge
As he tossed her over his knees
