I no longer wear
my wedding #ring
what is on my finger
is a band and a stone
which I have picked
for myself.

The bird call started at dawn. He lay in bed thinking it would make a good ring tone–if only pressing a button would stop it. #ThingsToWriteAbout

doorbell's broken
(won't ring), loud knocking's required
we don't make it easy

#thingstowriteabout (ring)
#senryu #micropoem

A #ring made of darkness,
a ring made of light,
a ring given for love,
hidden in sight,
a ring of power,
given in trust,
it stands as a promise,
written in stardust.

#thingstowriteabout

beyond all wars
it's so easy to find
blooming flowers

I Think His Name Was Sauron

I head a rumor once before
About a wicked king
Who tried to dominate them all
But not using THAT #ring.

THAT ring is too precious to me,
I simply don’t believe it.
In fact, I think I saw it fall…
Might you go and retrieve it?

#flowers

I love flowers
could never understand
why she was aggitated by them
perhaps it is the gifter
more than the flowers
it always seemed
to be me

#thingstowriteabout

A beauty in wax to
Oil, paper and soil to
Creation, spoiled by
Education to be normal
Conform to a loss of
Petty dreams she knew
To hide as she grew to
Fit and belong, quietly
The paints dried grey
As dull now the flower
Wilted before the light
Could show her color

#thingstowriteabout

#Inseparable my thighs once
#overworked the corduroy
#fight the tight
rub with might
til #porous & threadbare
could hear me comin' round the #corner
enter rebounder
bounce away the hours
no more junk food
instead I buy me #flowers

Not Again

If at first you didn’t succeed,
The second time you failed
Third try you couldn’t do the deed,
But found yourself impaled…
Please see the forest made of trees,
Take this bouquet of #flowers,
Relax, with my apologies…
We‘ll while away the hours.

#Flowers
are confused
whether it is
spring or
if it is still
the season
of snow

#thingstowriteabout #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

Just like I knew
the snow wouldn't
last forever, I knew
the sun wouldn't as well.
& now I'm sitting
watching #flowers in the rain...

(Happy Earworm! You're welcome! 😉)

#thingstowriteabout

happy flowers
just another phrase

remains out of my league

Almost forgot the prompt for Friday March 13th! On a day where I am in snow once more the prompt is #flowers #thingstowriteabout

diving
into six minutes of
musical perfection
shedding reality like
my work clothes
sadness and longing
wrapped in riffs and
epic chorals
as Freddie's voice
carries away doubt
I light a candle in
my heart and one
on my altar
for this lyrical genius
gone way to soon

Almighty mother—
warrior queen
of
transformation...

Weren’t we born
with something
carved into
our bones?

Something
sour—
in our blood?

Something
implanted,
beeping,
primed to detonate,

hidden,
waiting,
wedged
in the grey matter
of our minds?

#ThingstoWriteAbout - Queen
#Poetry #Poem #SkyPoem

You move your queen,
I roll the dice,
Count four steps,
And free the mice,
You buy hotels,
And spin the wheel,
I shuffle cards,
And make the deal,
Snakes and ladders,
Cards the same,
You were in,
A different game.

#thingstowriteabout queen

"Why did she do it? Why did she run? Why didn't she trust me?" His fist clenched on her adamant ring, which he had taken to wearing on his little finger as a #precious reminder.
"Perhaps it was her ambition to be #queen." #vss365 #ThingsToWriteAbout

If A.D.D was royalty
I'd be their #precious #Queen
#suffer thy #community
focus nil as most #can see
a #shimmy here a #dawdle there
a #retreat now & then
a #nostalgic look back
would prove the lack
but I .... squirrel

The #queen is not amused
a faux pas at court
the jester must think fast
to salvage a highly
embarrassing situation
a joke and a smile
self depreciation
to soothe ruffled feathers
that is his job
his life hinges on it.

If I am the King of the Classroom,
then I bow down before you, bc
every king deserves a #queen
& you are mine. Instead of a crown,
you wear the flowers I put in your hair;
instead of a throne, we are sitting
on our sofa, side by side,
ruling over our plushies.
