Blackened
Scorched earth
Seed burned open
To release new life

Mystery
Darkness
Mysterious feeling
Of being watched
Shhhhh, we are playing

Feeling Alone
feeling alone
in the woods around Edo
just the autumn wind

dry brown leaves swirl at my feet
pungent wood smoke fills the air
Dancing Echoes

Golden
setting sun
Racing towards horizon
Dividing earth and sky

Mini
Cat Eye on Crow’s Feet
Back in my prime
When young and spry
I used to rock
A fierce cat eye
Eventually
There came a day
Old Father Time
Would make me pay
Where used to be
A single line
Now smudgy mess
Like I’ve been cryin’
And now alas
It spreads and grows
Resembling
The feet of crows
(Imagine this being recited in the voice of Vincent Price)
Hope
Incon”grew”ous
Harshest conditions
Seemingly no place to grow
Life will find a way
In response to Sylvain Landry’s SL-WEEK #41: Incongruous
