Mind Colors

Endeavor, Lino Tagliapietra, Columbus Museum of Art

colorful leeches got bloated

some of them are even sugar-coated

with vibrant reds and happy yellows

funny purples and green that glows

blacks stripes running

and pinks gone a-blushing

rushing, floating this and that

inside my mind while writing tit for tat!

The Final Kiss

"It is time.” Someone addressed him from where he sat huddled in a chair in the far corner of the room. Jobless, just recently widowed, he was clutching a bundle to his chest as if his very sustenance depends upon it.

The baby whimpered as if feeling the imminent parting of a loved one. "Hush, be good now." and with one final kiss, he gave him towards the outstretched hands of the beaming new parents.

"Please take care of him," he said, almost a whisper, a plea.

"Of course, we will. We've waited so long for someone like him." 

"Goodbye and thank you." they both said.

"Goodbye now, my baby." he said as the car that now bore his very joy pulled away from the social welfare office.

Coming home...

a once silent  hill

suddenly waking  to life

warriors coming home

Next week’s theme: Joy

Sensational Haiku Wednesday

Click here for info and background on this weekly event!

The basics:

Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively (a great way to use your fingers!)

Next week’s theme: Living

Wind in my Heart

caressing

touching

my slumbering heart

whistling

singing

a lovely song

grazing

playing

waking me at last

swishing

whooshing

bringing me pain

crying

singing

a lonely song

Dani suggested this week’s prompt: Wind @ One Single Impression

Written for One Shot Wednesday Week 51

a brick wall heart

 

brick wall heart

I opened my heart

hoping that you will see

but instead you flee

are you afraid to find

yourself inside?

so I pile my bricks

higher around me

but no, you never meant to start

to break it apart

oh, the pain of waiting

as I slowly harden.

Chocolate Chip Cookie

Nothing beats chocolate chip cookies, especially after a very stressful day at the office, to make me feel better. Of course, I try to limit it to one or two, max of three :) Chocolate Chip Cookies has a habit of staying on my mid-parts!
