dVerse Poets – Letters

***

Hesitantly lifting up the pen

Trying to remember when

Last we spoke

Or ever wrote

Words of love and so now begin.

When I first saw your face, you were mine

Two thousand stars seen by my human eye

Softly shining deep and gray

And then you even looked my way,

It seemed as if your stars shone back in return

I wanted so much to learn

Every subject of your being

What was underneath what I was seeing

I wanted to know every bit of you

Seeing two thousand stars was the first clue,

But now I write this to renew

What I saw and felt and knew.

W3 – Snow Drifts

Looked out bedroom window with glee

Snow drifted on my rooftop seen

The porch roof out my window sill

See all white, cold and softly still

Quiet whiteness, inviting me

Fallen snow on slanted roof edge

Don my snow pants and boots to hedge

Dared the slippery easy slope

Then out my bedroom window go

Slippery ice is hidden there

As a child, I give it no care

I fall and scoot to mounds below

They break my fall—the drifted snow

Child memories of moments rare

Always looking with glee

Vacation?🙄

The bucolic setting did not classify as one of her favorite vacation spots. She sat back in the car dreading the destination and fell into a pit of doldrums. “I mean, Jeffrey, what were you thinking?”is what she wanted to blurt out but kept the criticism to herself. They pulled up to the structure, barely qualifying as a cabin, and then she stepped out only to be nibbled on the ankle by some sort of lizard. She screamed and pulled her foot up quickly losing her balance. Luckily Jeff was right behind her and scooped her up. “Is that slime on my leg as she felt down to feel a bit of liquid on her ankle.

“”Probably,” Jeff laughed, “it’s just tasting you. At least it wasn’t a poisonous snake!” His joking manner did not please her and she scrambled out of his grasp, and ran into the cabin. Jeff followed, still chuckling and spied her on the bed with covers pulled up all around her.

“How soon can we go home?”

MLMM Wordle – Utopia

They stood in front of the gateway, the sign above read “Sat Nam” which meant I am truth. Of course skepticism was rampant these days, but everyone, even secretly, wanted to get on the sailboat of truths. It seemed the lid was off for all opinions, spoken loudly and with small strains of conviction. Many people closed off the media, the news, the dry statements of supposed facts inked in every form. The choice to close yourself off from the salt poured into wounds of hoped for truths, and deciding to quietly sulk.
