To Not Kill

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Agree to Disagree.”

I have a friend
We disagree on almost everything
But most of all we disagree
On life and parenting
To keep the peace and a friend
I practice tact, diplomacy
So instead of going for the kill
I’ve learnt to be quite still

Finesse

With flair, I will live my life
With finesse, I will write my soul’s poetry
With passion, I will love with my heart’s whole

Brain Power Haiku

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Brain Power.”

If my brain unlocked
Quite suddenly, leaving me
Speechless, I would find

Myself wanting to
Write about it, but without
More time, I could not

Weaving Words

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Connect the Dots.”

The dedicated words which writers use
Are weaved together to inform
To resonate or to amuse
Stories and poems and fiction and tales
Gifts to the world from those who would write
To offer company or perhaps to fix any ails
So if you be lonely and need something to do
And have some time, a few minutes to spare
Pick up a book and read, any closest to you

Beating Heart

image

I lay my head
Against your chest
And feel your beating heart

One hope I know
My love for you
Will never tear apart

So this I pray
That you and I
Will never be apart

Sunshine

image

You light up my world
In a way that nothing else can
Please don’t take my sunshine away

Life is Random

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Image Search.”

image

During the middle of one
Dark, arbitrary, random night
When insonnia took hold
And sleep was nowhere to be found
I googled images and counted them
And the eleventh image
That appeared into view
Was words of wisdom
Explaining so prophetically
That ‘life is random’
And I do concur
For everything in my life so far
Has happened so very randomly


It’s all random, people
I am random
You are random
We are all random
Yay us!

Shadows on Stairs

image

I see shadows of dark and light
On stairs of black and white
And I ask of thee
Where art thou bound?
