Mabel made the best pies. When her sister took ill, she needed to go to her, reminding Harold he’d have to bake for the fund raiser at church. Harold, half listening, nodded, wishing her a safe trip.

It was hours later he realized, he’d have to bake on his own. Gathering ingredients, he mixed and kneaded, baked, and checked, finally taking out the pie. It looked pitiful.

Trying to put one over on the parishioners, he purchased one from the next town. His attempt at trickery failed.

Lesson learned: Never try to fool they, in whose house you also pray.

 

June Writing Prompt – Except without her, he couldn’t make a decent pie – Day 25/30

The full moon plays its devilish game

Finds fun with some nighttime flickery

Illuminates darkness, its claim to fame

Implements her tool, of magical trickery

Cast your eyes upon my face

Let me take you to this place

Where reality becomes a blur

And oddities do then occur

This light that shines within my eyes

Is full of mad, seductive lies

I’ll bring you to a world unknown

To sit upon your kingly throne

Your destiny I’ve carefully planned

As you perfectly fit, in the palm of my hand

Friday Fantasy ~ Reflections Beam – #NaPoWriMo

owl-846842_960_720
Snowy white against the green
Reflections in the waters, beam

She waits upon a fallen tree
For moon to call and set her free

When sunset shadows into night
And she, at last, can take her flight

Tis when her fantasy begins to play
And you become her evening prey

She’ll mesmerize with glowing eyes
And captivate with illusive guise

When her reflection in the water beams
The owl is not always what she seems

Jezebel

The night that covets salacious dreams

Begs to elicit forbidden scenes

Uncovers the mask of Jezebel ways

Red against pale, in splendid array

You’ll revel in the beauty of emerald eyes

As she lures you to her with an innocent guise

Radiating heat, like a ruby afire

She will never unveil her lubricious desire

Still, she’ll capture your soul with subtle deception

While using her body with wicked intention
