The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”.  You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you.  More info can be found in the link below.


Hidden deep, underneath, the crystal chandelier

A place so full of wonder, some say you’ll disappear

Into other’s imaginations, and places of unknown

Perhaps you’ll even find yourself, sat upon a throne

Oh, the many places, a book or two, will take you

Inside, secrets held, which perchance, could wake you

Watch the crystal ball, as it spins its magical spell

What happens next, friends, you simply cannot quell

Mystery and power, oh! And dragons, dance in rhyme

Guaranteed, I have no doubt, you’ll have a marvelous time!

So, step inside my parlor, grab a seat there, on the floor

And I’ll tell you about the library, a place you will adore

Moving On ~ Another Month Gone – #poetry

Now that July’s challenges are through

I have to find something else to do

I suppose, with this time

I could write you a rhyme

Or perhaps, a limerick or two

**********************************************

A HUGE Thank You to all who stuck with me while I took you on the crazy adventures of Agent N. Owl and her crew, and to all who grabbed bits and pieces of the story!  Remember, you can find it all here: On the Trail of a Mastermind

The end result? 13,195 words (phew) And ~M is still on the loose!!

But seriously…

I could not have done this without Michelle!!  Her writing prompts were the catalysts to this entire story.  I can’t thank her enough for doing these writing prompts every month, no matter how busy her schedule may be!

Bring on August!  I can’t wait!

Sylvia’s Secrets ~ #JuneWriting #poetry

Each day she would steal to the forest

Fold her hands in a silent prayer

Close her eyes, tilt her head up

And hope no one was listening there

The forest held all her secrets

Every day brought another to light

Sylvia’s past always haunted her

She came here, to makes things right

Silently whispering among fallen leaves

For autumn had come early, this time

Verses, only the knowing could hear

Her paradox, written in rhyme

A spirit held within a book
She wished upon a dream
Scattering dandelion seeds
Like a pixie, she did scheme

Page by page, twas magic
She made them dance in rhyme
From fantasy to tragic
Every word was quite sublime

So, when the pages filled
And no more could be contained
Another flower did she pick
To spread the seeds, again

Call upon my heart, in a whispering sigh

Fold me in your arms, as time rushes by

Tell me tales of tomorrow, let my heart soar

In hushed, quiet moments, tis what I live for

Let us be one, with a gentle caress

The touch of two hearts, easily express

The rhythm of love, endlessly sublime

Our bodies in sync, mere poetry in rhyme
