Photo by Dan Antion, thank you, Dan!

They say she died quite surprisingly, standing o’er her husband’s grave

She was devastated by his death, but tried always to be brave

And on this autumn day only one year later

Sees her remaining hand above his buried alma-mater

So quickly had she died there, she seemed forever bound

Her now white desecration was the only thing they found

No one knows the reason she passed away that day

But the leaf white hand remains, forever there to stay.

I must admit I’ve tried my best

As I tried to change the rest

Colors, backgrounds, photo, yes

The theme won’t let me do my best

The photo turned out well so far

But corresponding words afar

So purple set my teeth ajar

No changes for some things allowed

No longer can I be proud

And results seem rather dowd

I guess I can’t blame Sir Editir

I’m not much for a change

Especially when all my work

Is always rearranged

This new guy may be the foil

Causing my brain to burn

At least I’m not thinking Trump

Thanks for that in itself, the Editir has earned.

Walking upon this path

A smile crosses my lips

Remembering floods my chest

When you put your coat around me

As a shelter and invitation

I wonder if we’ll meet again

On another rainy afternoon

Causing the delectable storm when

The thunder within was so pleasurably quieted.

Tuesday Writing Prompt Challenge-October 6, 2020

Sun’s scorch time over

Autumn shows its cool muster

A chill in tree’s shade

Ronovan Writes #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge 326 SCORCH & SHADE

Blanket me with your presence

Smother me in your love

Be my softest and cuddliest

Surround me in your arms

Like a warm flannel shirt

Light the fragrant candles

Ignite birch logs on the grate

Envelop all autumn feels

With your love to me.

A time of darkness

A time for red trees to shed

Time for welcomed chills.

Eugi’s Weekly Prompt “Mystical” October 5, 2020

The phenotype sat in our home once again, ignoring the complete horror of the situation. A scientific study of his reactions so far are sadly lined up at the crematorium. Egotistical maniac is a term I would use to describe our president.

We are practically surrounded and even though we have the lowest population of any of the US states, we need common sense from our state officials.

Come with us, they said. It’ll be fun, they said.

Sun, sand and water, you can’t beat that for a vacation, they said.

Apparently no one looked closely at the brochure photo, dated twenty years earlier.

A lonely heart

Making a wish

Would he see her again

He thought of her kiss

The curl of her hair, the beckoning eyes

Now thinking such a brief encounter was not wise.
