Listen, nature’s sounds

Tis a bird making its nest

Commotion’s motion

Deep within the mountains
On a planet, away, but not far
There lives a different people
Who watch the yonder star

And pray it hears them calling
So they may leave this place
To find themselves a better world
Much warmer, than outer space

Here, they live in drifts of snow
Piled high and out of reach
No chance for them, to escape
These walls they cannot breach

Still they can’t help but wonder
As each day, the light grows dim
How they might venture out
But things look mighty grim

No one hears them, as they shout
Most refuse to believe it’s not fiction
And so they remain, forlorn, forgotten
Humans, once, an Earthly depiction

Did it ever occur to you, why some spirits are left to dwell?

Ever hear a haunting tune, and get caught up in its spell?

That shadows are really apparitions, of those, long passed

Who remain in the mortal world, now lost, within the vast

 

Ragtag Daily Prompt – Tune
FOWC with Fandango – Occur
Daily Word Prompt – Apparition

Bristly the Porcupine – #poetry – #MarchWriting

These aren’t the kind of needles
You might use to sew a shirt
In fact, if you prick your finger
You can bet it’s going to hurt

Now, you’d think it’s kind of silly
To walk around with those spikes
But this fella knows exactly why
Don’t bother him or he’ll strike!

And that won’t feel so pleasant
No, it’s worse than a bee sting
Next time you see a porcupine
Just let poor Bristly, do his thing

In the Moonlight ~ #poetry #WOTD #RDP

The moon in the sky, quite the elemental feature

Why do suppose we choose to walk in its light?

Perhaps, we view it as our own mystical teacher

Showing us the way, in the darkness of the night

 

Word of the Day – Elemental
Ragtag Daily Prompt – Walk
