Let’s soar to great heights, start an adventure

This life is ours, one that no one can censure

The New Year’s ahead, new paths, new horizons

As the sun sets west, tis our light that’ll be rising

Colorful Thoughts ~ #poetry

If I were a color, could you imagine what I’d be?

The yellow of the sun, or deep blue, like the sea

Orange, like a marigold, or just plain lily white

I have to find the color that fits me, just right

Perhaps I am purple, shades of light and dark

Perhaps I am red, set the sizzle, light the spark

Green, the cool of summer grass, between my toes

So many different choices, tell me, do you know?

Or maybe I am, merely black, like the pitch of night

Tis where I often find myself, always when I write

I think today, I shall be, all the colors I can find

Lost forever, happily, in the rainbow of my mind

 

Prompt: What color do you feel like today?

A sinking sun sets the mood, o’er the mountains

The last bell chimes, and silence fills the lands

Peacefulness reigns, with the dimming light

Which cast its shadows, across the sands

A haze falls over the country, like a slumber

Not even the chirp of crickets can be heard

And as night settles in, and day slips away

The colors of the sky, become serenely blurred

All these holiday goodies, can make a body plump

A nibble here, a sneak of sweets, finds its way to our rump

We’ve become corpulent, just because we had to try it

Until January second, tis when we all begin that diet!

The Lights ~ #poetry #DecemberWriting

She snickered as she ran, until she noticed, behind her

The one thing she’d forgotten, was trying to remind her

It sent bands of colors, wrapped them around the air

She tried to keep running, but knew she shouldn’t dare

She turned, and watched it, slowly hit the ground

With a thunderous thud, that echoed, quite profound

The moon had finally landed, left Earth to float alone

The sun had drifted farther, chilled her to the bone

Darkness filled the sky, no more light did moon shed

Now laid still, upon the soil, the golden orb was dead

 

Stars flickered and cried, with the night…

…to mourn the parting of the light
