Through high piles of snow, we lumber along
As drifts vie to stop us, our gathering throng
So, we become immature, trying to smother
Everyone, by throwing snowballs at each other
Word of the Day – Immature
Ragtag Daily Prompt – Lumber

It swirled, like an eddy, from deep below
Took everything with it, in the undertow
Gulls hovered over, in awe of the sea
Tried hard, not to become, what would be
Such turbulence, they had never seen
Deep in the waters, this swirling green
Pristine white, its crests swayed, to and fro
How much it would engulf, was hard to know
We watched from above, afraid to go near
Lest the sea swallowed us, this we did fear
Mesmerized by its beauty, awed by its sight
It activated our senses, to flee out of fright
Still, there we waited, wondered, would it make good
Then we watched it take over, the place where we stood

Every day she’d come, with a book, in her hand
Set a blanket down, on the soft, and warm sand
Open to yesterday’s page, aloud, she would read
Seems this was the only thing, she’d ever need
Softly at first, against the crashing of the waves
Then a little bit louder, her voice, she’d engrave
Into the rush of surf, as it teased, near her feet
The sound of the water, her words, so sweet
And continue, she did, until light became dark
Then flag the page, with his faded bookmark
Promising to return to him, the very next day
Same place in the sand, for he liked it that way
January Writing Prompt – She read aloud to the sound of crashing waves – Day 7/31

Some things with directions, I’ll admit, are a riddle
So instead of reading them, I quite like to fiddle
Hoping it comes out, like the picture on the carton
But most times it leaves me feeling disheartened

He hides in the grass, neath the barren tree
Watching, waiting, but he still doesn’t flee
The sound of shotguns, pierce the fresh air
To show himself now, he wouldn’t dare
Alone in the meadow, not another nearby
He knows if he stays there, he may just die
But also, to move, could seal his fate
He’d have to stay, right there, and wait
For his doe had met her imminent demise
This came, unfortunately, as no surprise
As he remembers, sadly, the reason why
She had been taken, by another guy
