A deceptive view, my eyes do see, above the water, stands a tree; and yet, it also lives beneath, with reflections of a barren heath. As does the mountain, and the sun; casting shadows, all is one.

I allow myself to linger there, watching as they meet; land and water, trees and air, lying at my feet. Basking in this wonder, I breathe in all the glory; both above and under, this is nature’s telling story.

Sitting on the banks, I close my eyes and meditate; for this beauty I must thank, as my soul, it does elate.

He spews hell’s flame, like venom
Fiery eyes, poisoned tears, erupting
An evilness, lurking, across his face
This is the time, he finds disrupting

Too many humans, spreading the word

Oh, how he thought, this is so absurd

A battle he knew, would never be won

He was outnumbered, by Father and Son

Waiting, his minions, there at his feet
Watching the time slip, slowly away
No one came calling, he felt the defeat
Perhaps, another time, another day

Rejoicing sounds, from high above

Joy fills the World, with God’s Holy Love

 

December Writing Prompt – Venom poured from his eyes, poisoned tears – Day 19/31

Every bauble on the tree, holds a special memory

Each one we carefully hang, both round and square

It’s the wonder of the year, with loved ones ever near

All these Christmas treasures, we are sure to share

Colleen was kind enough to give us the words for this weeks challenge, even though she started her Yule break!  Thank you, Colleen ❤  The words this week are Fly and Sing.  Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!

Written as a Tanka, my synonyms are Soar and Serenade.


Gliding in the sky

A small bird does serenade

The tree it calls home

Soaring above the green leaves

Admiring from afar
