Another month of prompts are done

At last, I’ll get to see the sun

See, M had me hunkered down in here

My family thought I disappeared

Except for the constant keyboard clacking

That got to be quite nerve-racking!

But I never gave up, no sir, not me

The challenge was issued, twas M’s decree

So I sat there for hours, typing away

The sun came and went, I think yesterday

That makes this the very last day of June

The final prompt, I’m over the moon!

Because pounding my head, gave me a contusion

Thank God, this is my cockamamie conclusion

 

Author’s note: June was a blast!  I cannot wait for M’s July writing prompts.  I absolutely love them!

June Writing Prompt – Cockamamie Conclusions – Day 30/30.

My eyes are blurred, in pastel pink

I think I’ve had too much to drink

Nothing’s making any sense

Imagination, my self defense

With trickery, you change my vision

Enough to cause this indecision

Do I carry on, the way I am

Or sober up, with another gram

That brings my focus back in view

Though things remain, quite askew

Perhaps it’s best to sleep it off

Forget the drink, what was that quaff?

That made everything, before me, blurry

While time blew by me, in a hurry

With this, a bitter pill, to swallow

Is this the path I’m doomed to follow?

It’s been a long time since,

I can’t remember when

Still, the sound of your voice,

Sends shivers through me

I can see in your eyes,

You know this to be

Though years have passed by,

Over and over, decayed

And we have grown older,

More tired and grayed

We still feel the spark

That once kindled a flame

As we burn with the fire,

And our love, we reclaim
