Interesting or creepy? Why? I love snakes! I think they’re pretty fascinating. Their scales are smooth and cool to the touch. They have a variety of different colors and patterns. Their movement is elegant and when provoked, they can be quite vicious. I especially love snakes with fangs because of how intimidating and fierce theyContinue reading “Writing Prompt: Snakes”

Swamped
Swamped. A marsh thick with swirling fog overhead, weighing down rest and trailing weary.Wet. The water, the muck, and the bog that tears and pulls at your feet.Tall rooted trees extend above, green and luscious casting shadows upon you. Where is the light that needs to shine through? Duty. A job to be done, musclesContinue reading “Swamped”
Writer’s Dominion
To command a pen, to glide on a page.What freedom there is that you can control.The will of the wind where it would,The current of a stream, refreshing, refined.A power to command kingdoms,Your will is the law. A written page forever spoken,Lies rebel fire or flooding rain.The ash of death or washing away of theContinue reading “Writer’s Dominion”

Trust
You can’t trust what you can’t see,Life hides the path and hidden the key.An open field so warm and soft,Then sparked by fire, a deadly cough.Open the heart, let someone in.Dance and laugh, alive again.Until an action’s a dagger deep in the back.Bleeding on the ground, it all goes black.Hardened and shielded and locked inContinue reading “Trust”

Nock, Draw, Aim
Nock, draw, and aim, release that volley of arrows down on the enemy, make sure the bow’s properly strung, unstring it and string it again if you must. Don’t squeeze the grip too hard, focus and fire, ashamed at the sleeper on the battle-field, he had been warned by the driver of the movement. TattooedContinue reading “Nock, Draw, Aim”
Metronome of Memories.
Walking through campus and what do I hear? But a metronome screaming in somebody’s ear.The closer I get the ground starts to quake.At the powerful rhythm many drummers did make.At their sight, I can only smile.They brought up some memories that’d been lost for a while.Of a cool, stormy night under a harvest moon.Where thoseContinue reading “Metronome of Memories.”
