among roses, a sun rises

among the roses

we take in the sun rising

the sky turns golden

we hold hands for the last time

as stars say goodbye

- Written for WD's Wednesday Poetry Prompt #781

vignettes of summer

under air conditioners

cold air blast against our skin

a cool oasis

chlorine fills the air

kids splashing in swimming pools

lifeguards sip water

we sit in the car

ice cream dripping down our hands

sun begins to fade

we chase fireflies

as the sky turns to violet

mason jars alight

- Written for Writers Digest Poetic Aside Wednesday Poetry Prompt #701: summer poem

passing dreams

blooming sunrises

softly kiss our waking lips

sweet morning hellos

afternoon smiles

quickening the heartbeat like love

swaying roses dance

cool fading sunsets

brush across skin like velvet

savory good nights

stargazing midnights

moon and stars beckoning us

we fall into dreams

taste of cheesecake

red cherry cheesecake

stares back at her from the fridge

her resolve falters

bites into the creamy slice

her hunger finds its release

signs

in search for a sign
she gazes upon the sky
studying the stars

even in daylight
she questions blooming roses
which path she should take

watching the sun set
she whispers a prayer that is
answered at sunrise

- Inspired by dVerse Poetics - Semiotics: Reading the Signs

a summer day in August

under August sun 

flavored ice-crusted snow cones 

cools off our parched tongues 

we enjoy the ocean view 

until dusk whispers our names

 

 

- This poem is a combination of two prompts:  Twiglet #290: ice-crushed snow and dVerse Poetics: Sometimes August isn't recognized

 

 

cloudless sky

I take in the sky 

azure blue, without a cloud 

dark thoughts disappear

 

 

- Written for Twiglet #287 - we're cloudless

the sun sits pretty

the sun sits pretty
as we paint the autumn sky
we watch setting sun
holding hands, we silently
ponder what path to follow

- Written for Twiglet#246 - the sun sits pretty

firecracker

she was always a firecracker

her light would sparkle the night sky

a bit loud and unpredictable
