Books

Books

Trapped between

the covers.

Held captive by

the stories.

Led up and

down the pages

by the flow of

words and the

worlds they create.

After I feel both

the joy and sadness

of reaching the end,

I choose another

from the stack

and begin again.

Thanks to Kasie Whitener for this week's Wordsmith Studio Creative Prompt-Trapped.

Ahead of Schedule

Ahead of Schedule

Caught the early train.

Beat the dark home.

Left the work day

in the closet.

Sat down to dinner.

Enjoyed a sip or two

surrounded by sound.

Finished a book

with time to spare.

Night Vision

Night Vision

What do you see

when your eyes are closed,

when your mind

should be at rest?

I see those I've

lost at their best

mingled with those

they never knew.

Why do I put them

 together? They are

 and always have been

worlds apart.

When the alarm sounds,

I ignore it and

try to hold onto

my impossible dream.

Thanks to Sarah Turnbull for this week's Wordsmith Studio Creative Prompt-Subconscious Visions.

Early Bloomers

Early Bloomers

Ready to burst.

Be the first

to unfurl

your petals.

Stretch them

out to bask

in the sun

and show off

their colors.

Equinox

Equinox

Dark and light

fill our days.

Usually, one

outweighs the other.

Light increases

until it reaches

its maximum number

of hours then

retreats in small

increments, letting

darkness reign.

But twice each year,

light and dark

call a truce and

give us a day

we share equally

with the two.

Cornered

Trapped where the walls meet.

If you choose to escape, then

turn and walk away.

Searching

Searching

Head down.

Eyes focused

on the ground.

Each blade of

grass receives

your scrutiny.

Why spend

so much time

in one place

when there

is grass all

around you?
