The colors of fall
Russet and orange adorn
Flecks of gold petals
Now gathered, in a bouquet
Keeping autumn’s presence near

Storm clouds gather, drowning light
Red, with a fire, burning bright
Lightning strikes, forms a power
Hell unleashed, upon this hour
Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run
This beast, engulfs the midday sun
Untamed, fangs bared, roaring about
No way to douse it, can’t put him out
He covets the skies, desires now met
Wicked is he, this firestorm threat

It’s a new year, and Michelle has new prompts! Seems she’s teamed up with someone this time. I wonder who it could be 😉 Join us for the fun!! See if you can figure out which prompts are hers and which one’s are mine!
Happy New Year everyone! It’s hard to believe another year is gone. I decided to team up this month with Dorinda Duclos to create some awesome prompts for all of you. She wrote half of them, so let’s see if any of you can figure out which one’s she wrote verses the one’s I wrote. I think it was sort of funny how we both had similar ideas. Please leave some feedback and let me know if you are enjoying the longer prompts. If you’d like me to go back to writing the shorter ones, I’d be happy to oblige. Enjoy! ~M
If you’re new to prompt writing, and don’t really understand how to use the prompts, please consider the following writing exercise.
Settle into your favorite place in the house with a hot drink to warm your waking bones. Once you’ve warmed up a bit; grab your journal, a…

Sometimes I lie awake at night
Wondering what tomorrow brings
Silver linings in the clouds
Sunrise made of golden rings
Trees that glisten emerald
Like gems against the sky
Flora dressed in sapphire and ruby
So much grace before my eyes
Silent waters crystal shine
Reflecting off the land
Prismatic shadows dance about
Their colors softly fanned
These beautiful adornments
No bracelet, brooch nor ring
Can ever match the splendor
Mother Nature always brings
Cast your eyes on these stones
Their brilliance sparks a flame
No price is put upon these jewels
Their cost, too grand to name

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!
