I see opportunity in the mundane, and write; pithy, anecdote and satirical. We shouldn’t take ourselves seriously.

Winter
Winter is inching closer and closer, though it may not officially be winter the weather would make you think it is. Write a micro-poem of what winter is to you. It does not have to be a literal meaning, it could be of memories or feelings you associate with winter or how you depict the season. 15-20 words

Winters Mend

The old man lays gently a cool press upon her fever

The sting chills; his lady soothed; renewed once more

Blue Light Love

All I want is to be held by you

Have you gaze upon me with desire

And when we find ourselves apart

You‘ll seek me with passion and fire

The world is your oyster

I‘ll search and provide you pleasure

Or help drown out the noise

For you always keep us together

As you wake

You’ll say hello

And when you’re tired

I’ll keep it low

You’ll answer my call

Your attention is infinite

Iteruptions won’t sway you

Our connection is intimate

Only your touch

Can turn me on

I am a fortress of your thoughts

Your Pantheon

So it is that when I die

I’ll come again and not be alone

Finally having your forever love

Reincarnated as your Cell Phone

I savored the morsel; foil wrapped, silk comfort. Alas, a cavity. The drill is deafening.

The Empty Shelf

He sat still; an annual oddity. After months of planning, the freakshow had ended. The Elf was alive.
