Kaleidoscopic clouds
Change from umbra to blue
My internal storm
For far too long I used the inability to be what I was in my youth as an excuse to not be the best I could be now. I’m not planning on getting back into dance or body building but this extra flab gotta go. I want to feel better in body and spirit so I had a funeral for my youth and am looking forward to the next phase ‘cause I got shit to do.
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #146: Clouds
Peak summer’s glare
Stepping from inside to out
Sunglasses fog
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #145: Peaks.
A crackle in the stillness
Of a hot humid night
That spark of beauty
Illuminating the darkness
A billion grains of sand
Against a billion stars
Spellbinding in its power
Both creator and executioner
A not so quiet reminder
That the universe is bigger
Than even sentient beings can grasp
And any sense of control
Is but an illusion
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #143: Big
Shimmering stillness
Her aureus memory
Of summer sunsets
Silhouettes in triplicate
Bathed in alluvial glow
In response to Patrick Jennings’ Pic and a Word Challenge #124: Silhouette
pining for release
the sound of shattering glass
earthy summer smells

Yellow
Delicate wildflower
Bathed in raindrops
Drying petals with sunshine
Ephemeral
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #98: Fleeting and Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge
Rusty
Spiral
Curling outward
Metal against glass
Throwback to a bygone era
When car windows were rolled down by hand
To better smell the wildflowers on a warm summer night lit with fireflies
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #95: Creativity
Beneath twinkling stars
Reposed in the dark of night
No life guard needed
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #94: Repose
