Life is a game in which you must participate

You will never get through it, using pantomime

Speak up for what you believe in, never abate

By allowing silence, to use up this precious time

There is something about her, a blazing fire in her eyes

O’er the distant mountains, her wicked sparks do fly

Standing atop the castle, sweet Raven on her arm

She glances back to find a man, she’s alluring with her charm

Coaxing him ever closer, she patiently waits to see

If, indeed, he is the one, she hopes he will be

The skies are burning brighter, her body stokes the flame

A vixen, flaxen hair of gold, is calling out his name

He dare not try to turn around, she has him in her hold

Nearing the edge, in the end, her flame returns to cold

Though fire burns and Raven caws, she feels no contrition

For they who have met their untimely death…

The Dominant, has conquered her submission

She picks each flower, one by one
Looking for the perfect petals to share
Gathers them under the blazing sun
To bring home, to mama, waiting there

The yellow centers, toward the light
Her fingers clasped tightly around
Bright green stalks, hold on, with might
Firmly anchored into the ground

Still, she chooses, by just a hunch
Why that particular one entrances
Together, she holds them, in a bunch
Places them in a vase, and mama dances

She loves to see her mama smile
It’s not often it happens, but then
These beauties, which always beguile
Are bringing happiness home, again

You might be keen on arguing another’s ideology

But is it sensible, if in fact, it’s quite unknown?

No need to bedevil someone else’s methodology

Only makes your reasons, look mighty overblown

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”.  You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you.  More info can be found in the link below.


Warm arms embracing

Holding her creations near

She breathes life in each

While smiling over her brood

As they blossom within her
