Wildfire
Heat radiating and raging harshly.Destruction everywhere.The flames licked the trees, the leafs, and the life away.Devastation reigned in fiery chaos. Blackened ashes rise, dead.Roaring coals rocketed from the flames,Spreading the destruction across its wake.Faster and faster life perishes. Flee! Habitants, the forest drops defeated!Run for water, run for cover, run for your very lives!There isContinue reading “Wildfire”
Wastin’ Time
To the style of “Sitting on the Dock of the Bay” by Otis Redding Sittin’ on the dock of the lake,Watching the waves coming from the wakes.Got the sun shining down on me,It’s so nice to be carefree,Wastin’ time. Little ducklings come from the reeds,Looking for sweet, sweet green peas.Got the blue gills nibble atContinue reading “Wastin’ Time”
“Uh-Oh”
“Uh-Oh,” the author cried as she starts her laptop up.“I’ve got nothing on the inside. How can I sum this up?”“There’s no words, there’s no post.” “I need something or I’m toast.” “Maybe a story? Maybe a thought?” “Or that prompt that I just bought?”“Something to keep the site alive.”“Something to keep readers in place.”“I’llContinue reading ““Uh-Oh””
Morning in the Pines
A humble, wooden bench sitting in the woods.It leans from age and the stress of the weather,but it won’t fall. Its as strong as ever.A path runs beside it, so muddy and murky,that no one comes near it, for their shoes will get dirty.Even forgotten, the bench is not alone,for the nature around it remindsContinue reading “Morning in the Pines”
Shadows Dance
Shadows dance with the quiet soft breeze.No boundaries to hold them, every one free.In deeper depths, the shades grow dark.Creeping into the cracks of the heart.Only one fear keeps them at bay,only one thing keeps the monsters away.When the darkness grows strongand it sings its enticing song.When your head screams to run and your heartContinue reading “Shadows Dance”
Into the Woods
Into the woods and down the pathwhere darkness falls from shadows cast.Into the woods with tangled trees and roots reach up to scrape your knees. Into the woods, a moonlit night.Beware the ones that fill you with fright.Into the woods where monsters raveand ravens watch with hungered gaze. Into the woods. Run faster now,Or endContinue reading “Into the Woods”
Fly the Seas
To be the king of the seaSee in the dark depths belowFly the currents under the ocean Pass the shark, the piranha, the octopusAvoid the danger as you glideTo be the king of the sea The water’s bright, open, and freeThe air above tricky and distrustingFly the currents under the ocean Safe and sound inContinue reading “Fly the Seas”
Tion
Did you hear that sudden motion?A loud screech and scratch at the door?It’s the monster that hungers for flesh.Who’s face is hideous and fangs are huge.All who faced him met extinction. Did you see the lightning flash black?The dark auras that rim his hands?His eyes are deathly red.His horns short and low.The blood wall keepsContinue reading “Tion”
Did You Miss It?
Did you see the daisies turn their heads to the sunlight this morning?Watch the blue birds sore across the morning sky?Did you kiss a child good morning?Or war against the world with your bad mood? Is your early fight for the coffee? Are you a zombie, groaning and slugging on, without it?Do you rush offContinue reading “Did You Miss It?”
