Never intimidated, a dangerous fault, it occurred to her that it might be a fine idea. The key was just laying there, how could she resist? He always kept the cabinet locked but there the key lay, almost daring her to pick it up. Of course she checked to see if he was still on his cel before walking to the armoire. The lock offered no resistance and she pushed the door wide.

He found her, lying dead at the base of the furniture piece, her raven hair now completely white.

Ronovan Writes SijoWednesday PoetryChallenge #13.

The Future. For my son that has so many options. But that could be said for me as well. What about the planet, civilization, job, relationships, and whatever else may or may not have a future.

futuristic images, play on their constant video screens

wished for by the hardy, bleak for ones who are timid and shy

determination and strength, are the keys success depends on

Scotch and Soda

the first time we danced together. I was sitting shyly on the side at a table. I watched you with a pretty brown haired girl, laughing and dancing. A song came on I had not heard before and was surprised when you came over and asked me to dance. I nervously joined you on the floor. You held me close and the music or the feelings I’ll never forget.

Word Craft Poetry – Color: Multiple

Hello everyone. Happy June and Pride Month! This week, choose a syllabic form and a color to feature in your poem. If the form is from the #TankaTuesday cheat sheet, let us know so we know where to look for directions. If it’s a new form, share how to write it and where you found the instructions. Think about the different ways you can use color in a poem.

just a body covering

same but different

many hues holding our bones

celebrate the minds within

Peder Severin Krøyer, Summer Evening at Skagen. The Artist’s Wife and Dog by the Shore

She walks silently in contemplation.

While the family pet is an excuse for solitude, she ponders what might have been—

Was it the summer heat, the heavy scent of magnolias in the garden—the furtive touch, the deep kiss that told of imperative need or simply a single moment of passion—

She walks on, a smile begins and her pace enlightened.

1. We were told to but I thought it was the best part of the bread anyway😃

2. I used to be when I was young but now I think there’s too much singing of words as conversation instead of speaking them.

3. I’ve had a few jobs and loved them all. My first “salaried job” at 18 started with difficultly because the two men I worked with were allowed to be overly friendly and made sexist remarks. Back then (‘64) I took it because I thought it was normal—glad to see it is not anymore.

4. Neil Diamond at Red Rocks

5. Always grateful for my family and long time friends. I regret not being more careful with my back even though I first injured it in my teens.
