Although sun bursts through
Frozen ice remains steadfast
Warmth won’t win today

CCC#56
A vine encircling my talons
A weight of stone to hinder
My prowess and my faith are bleak
I’m no longer strong, but weak
Where are my patriots
My followers of truth
Help me I beg of you
Let me fly free and loose

MLMM First Line Friday 12-06-19
A crack like a gunshot pierced the frozen air and the ice broke. Icy panic ran over me like the water below. I dared not move, but looked over my shoulder to a horrible sight. Marie had also stopped short, hearing the crack. But it was the figure behind her that frightened me most of all.
The trip to the frozen north had been our dream vacation. We loved the cold sports, skiing, skating, snow boarding and this was all coming true. We had gotten up early in the small cabin to enjoy the sunrise on the lake. We had landed on the far end of the lake when we arrived, so there was no fear of the ice being fragile.
This particular day was going to be a highlight, being the first to skate with abandon on the beautiful smooth lake. And then it happened, the sudden shock of the crack in the ice. As I turned to see Marie, my anxiety reached indiscernible heights as I saw the bear looming behind her. In what seemed an eternity I turned to reach for her, only to see the bear envelop her. They disappeared under the ice.
As soon as I could move, I reached for my phone to call for help, although I knew it was too late. This happened ten years ago, and I have lived by myself in a warm climate ever since.
Christine’s Daily Writing Prompt 12-06-19
She sort of looks like me
But couldn’t be my twin
We’re all Santa’s help and she is in
Olive is another reindeer that I see
Smaller with odd antlers standing by the tree
I wonder where they found her
Her appearance is all wrong
I see it now, for goodness sake
She’s not a reindeer but a dog!
Fandango’s Friday Flashback
dVerse Poets – Apostrophe
Why aren’t you gone, when you never were really here.
Why do you plague me, remembering rare moments when we were in love.
The inbetween a fog, blurred by undesirable thoughts of why, what more could I have done, or spoke to you after saying I love you.
I thought those words encompassed all; what more required to keep your heart to mine?
I will never know and live with morbid disappointment.

Friday Five Lines or Less – Shopping
Little people with eyes popping
Hold mommy’s hand while Christmas shopping
Scared to sit on Santa’s knee
Spying all the toys with glee
Mom just looking for what they need.

Politics
It was almost twilight, but the barbecue was still in full swing. The big guy had flown in from D.C. just for the golf and barbecue after. He’d always had a nose for jodhoeing, his specialty actually, and the atmosphere today was ripe for it.
All of his cronies were there, the lawyer, the senator, the secretary, all ready to do what they thought had to be done. More than likely, the big guy was about to put them all in jeopardy again, but the money seemed worth it. Little did they all know he would stay on top and scatter them as scapegoats.
Voicing their concerns as the judicial system loomed, the big guy reassured them with a “only if necessary, it’ll never happen, guys”, a quote they usually put out of their minds while watching bank accounts grow.

Three Line Tales 12-5-19
Half in, half out
Part white, part black
Some lightness, some despair
I feel it all sitting here
Trivial things pass by quickly
I dismiss them
I dismiss colors in the world.
