Appeal is ready,
but alas we are too late.
They hung her last night.

Over the years, I raised her as a father raised a daughter. I taught her everything I knew, and her #hunger for knowledge was vast, her talent for magic beyond prodigal... #vss365 #writesky #fantasy #microfiction

a passionate taste of #hunger
the intimate candlelight dinner

an appetizer to entice
red wine to seduce
the main course for conversation
& dessert completes
their romantic evening for two

#passion of the rose
Trailing across my lips; a
#hunger knows no bounds

insatiable

the thirst, the hunger
the driving force
that propels us
to find our prey,
serves itself first
and feeds us scraps.

I look at her with a #hunger,
one that can devour worlds.
She brings a fire
enough to ignite stars
and exactly the warmth
I've crossed galaxies to near.
Her ocean worlds sweetened
with honey
peer into me with a depth
swallowing me too.
Overjoyed, I drown
in her veins,
home.

She used to hunger for his mere presence

The scent of his cologne
And the sound of her name on his lips

The touch of his hands
And the feel of his—

But ever since she was bitten by that shambling vagrant
She feels a #hunger for something else...

#hunger isn't up for discussion
it's a basic human need
the right to eat & drink what nourishes
something we all can unanimously agree

#vss365 #poetry

as we #hunger for a real hero
to save us from impending trenches
we impatiently sit in silence
waiting it out on splintered fences

there's no cure no bandage large enough
to apply to piercing #wounds
our best defense diligently preparing
for near future doom & gloom

"You don't know what #hunger is, child... I starve all the time! I need sustenance, and I'll get it one way or another!"

"Perhaps I can help, madam Monsteress. Would you like to eat my cookie?"

"What?"

"You said you were hungry. You can have this apple, too."

"T...thanks."

It had been with her from birth—this #hunger she couldn’t satisfy.

One day, she was surprised to see that there was a book in the mail. She read it again and again.

Her friend asked, “Why don’t you go to the library?”

Her eyes widened, and she knew her life would never be the same. #vss365

At the labor camp the adults barely got the rest and nutrition needed to face the arduous mining work.

“How are you doing, little warrior?” my older sister asked.

I was growing up fast and knew to keep silent, even though #hunger had evolved from pangs to outright pain.

Boys
And their
Adventurous hungar

Boys
Come for
The Witche's
Ginger bread

The boy,
He's meant to be
Toiled and tumbled
By the elder one

While they
Cackle and lap,
The cream
Of buttered scones
