One can never anticipate, what may happen next

Resolutions, can cause us to be more perplexed

Still, life is an enigma, from which we can grow

Fitting the pieces together, is never easy, though

Colleen is back and it’s a New Year, and a new month and that means…Poet’s Choice!! My words this week are Fragile and Breeze.  Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!

Written as a Shadorma, my synonyms are Delicate and Wind.


Delicate
With colorful wings
Fluttering
Against wind
Swept away with the current
Returning in spring

The apocalypse was drawing near

Nothing left for humans, but to fear

Zombies, stalked the land by day

And in the night, found their prey

As anger ruled their empty minds

It taught them how to be unkind

But in the end, they too, did fall

Laughter could have saved them all

He held the jar up to the light
Wondering what it could be
And there, inside the honey
Was this beautiful golden key

It looked like it was floating on air
Its reflection, in the sunlit rays
How long had he had this jar?
It must have been there for days

He slowly opened the sticky lid
And beacons flew, out of the jar
Spiraling about, in the azure sky
On their way to becoming stars

He marveled at how they shot up
Into the beauty, and all that was clear
As light shined down upon him, he knew
Twas the beginning of a brand new year

 

December Writing Prompt – Entombed inside a jar of honey, the key could clearly be seen – Day 31/31 – Another month of prompts have ended. Hard to believe 2018 is also on its way out. Happy New Year everyone!! May it be blessed with love, joy and happiness for all!! ❤

Get Some Rest – #poetry of a hospital stay

Trying to sleep but they won’t let me

Blood pressure and temperature? Check ✅

Laugh when they tell me “get some rest”

But they keep waking me, what the heck!

My roommate has been yelling since 2AM

I finally called for the nurse

Decided there was no way to sleep

The day just seemed to get worse

Hoping to go home later today

So far, all tests have been negative

Waiting for breakfast to arrive

Praying it comes with a sedative!
