In the place you live, there is one room. One room you like to go. For me, its my own. Where I’m never alone and I know where to find my bow. The walls are all filled and give mystical chills that make my heart thunder. Just take one look. You’ll know it belongs toContinue reading “Writing Prompt: Your Favorite Room”

My Affair
I curl up in your arms every night. You hold me tight, warm touch like firelight. And carry me safely into my dreams. But daylight comes quickly to waken me, And the other screams his jealous protest. To be in your arms I wish to stay, but I’m caught by the other that gets meContinue reading “My Affair”
To the Tearful Eye
To the Tearful Eye, I know how you cry.In the dark and all alone.Throughout life, troubles are sewn.They catch you off guard and at your peak. They’ll break you and convince you you’re nothing but weak.You can listen to them–every word that they say,And let the Darkness swallow you away. But let your Light shineContinue reading “To the Tearful Eye”

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”
