I found her lying ‘tween the clover

Then tiptoed, not to make a sound

Though fast asleep, I could feel her

Heartbeat, pulsing, off the ground

Her essence left a heady fragrance

Lifted from the dampened earth

And I couldn’t help but wonder why

She chose this place to give it worth

So hidden, deep, within these woods

Where no one else could find her

A tired Mother Earth, took rest

As the beauty of land, entwined her

December Writing Prompt – In between the clover and the dampened earth – Day 1/31

Bitter is this winter day

The winds cut through my skin

These old bones begin to shake

I can feel the cold within

Chattering, my teeth

As they play a musical tune

“Summertime” I hear them say

And it can’t come too soon

Age has taken hold of me

I like the cold no more

So I’ll curl up by the fireplace

Let it warm me to the core

Writing Prompt – Bitter Bones – Day 31/31 ~ And this completes Michelle’s writing prompts for December. Bring on the New Year!

I have never known

where to draw the line

my fantasies, bleed out

from the end of a pencil

onto blank pages

where thoughts spill

without ink, splotches

of words, erased, replaced

then smeared again

by the brush of my hand

or is it my vision, blurring

the existing lines, a verse

left unattended because

I have fallen asleep

into yet another dream

Writing Prompt – Drawing the Line – Day 30/31

There’s no other feeling like it

In fact, it really is so grand

It’s what I dream of often

Bare toes in the cooling sand

How I love to bury my feet

Knowing the tides and sand combined

Awash with the waves, onto the shore

Leaving traces of goodness behind

I keep these thoughts ever with me

Through the winter, the bitter cold

Knowing I can return once again

To sink my feet into miles of gold

Writing Prompt – Gritty Globs of Goodness – Day 29/31

As squirrels, they’re always quite skeptical
That the oak tree is their own receptacle
Praying for acorns aplenty, never believing it empty
This always creates such a spectacle

But the acorns knew, without a doubt
Told what the big old tree’s about
Refusing to believe, the squirrels did leave
Now the acorns just sit there and pout
