It’s Friday and I’m feeling a bit silly. Though traditional limericks are often quite lewd & dirty, I decided this was dirty enough for me 😉

I once knew a guy, down on his luck

Whose feet got caught in mire and muck

Though he tried to break free

It was not meant to be

And so there he remained, rather stuck

Have a great weekend, everyone!!!! ❤

Winter turns the trees to bare

Disguising colors, from our view

Until the sun sets o’er the land

Then, everything breathes anew

Majestic hues of purple, deep

Blending with red and yellow

A sky on fire, lights up the night

No longer is she blushing mellow

My eyes, are graced, I’m enchanted

Above, the clouds beauty, is swirled

I am lost, in the exquisite artistry

Magenta moments, color my world

Walk
With me
On the beach
Twilight beckons
As the sun sets west
Taking the day with it
It is the time to seek peace
Find a space within our own hearts
That reaches out, comforts, and assures
Remains untrodden, like sand, at high tide

We’re a jumbled mess, caught up in a ball

And we can’t seem to sort it out, at all

Too many ends, and not enough starts

Often weigh heavily, upon our hearts

Each of us, an entangled, intricate thread

Needing to connect, sometimes misled

Split down the middle, tossed to the side

Losing a sense of ourselves, and our pride

Til, we finally realize, every each of our fiber

Contains threads, no one else can decipher

It’s the first challenge of February, and Colleen lets us pick our own words! Synonyms are not necessary but I used them anyway. Keeping with the love theme, this week, my words are Arouse and Glow. Although I’ve used then in a different context. 😉

Written as a Tanka, my synonyms are Awakened and Light.
