rush hour
picking through wilted roses
on Mother's Day

Paper poppies–a gift of love–burned in the blood red flames of his passion. She put the ashes on her #roses. #ThingsToWriteAbout

I wish I had
a pot of small roses
on my windowsill

So I went out
and bought my
own flowers

Instead of waiting
for him to remember
our anniversary

#snippet from my #narrative #poem Les Enfants du Bois 😱

Acrid smoke, confusion, a splintering of wood. Mountain men rose to their feet and squared the stance they stood. The rum-house door exploded; the children, quite the sight; three boys, three girls, all made of wood; square jaws flashing splinters, cedar teeth to gnash and bite.
Big men in little rooms lack the space to fight.

One by one they fell, severed tendons, ankles limp.
The mountain men came crashing down,
and on the floor were easy prey
for the wooden clogs of imps.
Pounding, stomping, twisting,
faces frozen in the night.
The mashing of the blood and bone,
a dance of les enfants’ delight.

Then the fire climbed the night, the rum-house was ablaze.

Crimson sunset spills
over the sombre lakeside,
a weeping willow bends
its branches lightly brushing
the drooping poppies,
fallen leaves cover the paths
weary lone leaf withers
sails downstream in despair
time moves indifferent.

Today’s Tuesday October 6th prompt is #roses #thingstowriteabout

The text reads “roses handpicked for you” there is a picture of a bitten chocolate oozing caramel with a hint of a nut.

A pattern strikes where every shadow whispers doubt in my ear. I must clean the fur, yet a hurricane of incertitude cripples me over and over. Seventy is too loud, but sixty isn’t enough. Back and forth, which volume to choose?

Skip #over the end
even if
the fat lady sings

That new #pattern #over the #portal shows you where to #strike in the event of a #hurricane but not the actual location of the portal itself.
How do you know that?
Because I’m the wizard for this area.
Ha! And I’m the Pope. Try again.

summer is #over
but the heat still persists
holds on with a tight grip
those last afternoons
of ninety degrees
fade into sixty and chill
in these quiet mornings.
