flipping the switch

round and round we go 

not knowing where to go 

even though we know 

this song all too well

 

looking for something new 

yet we take in the same view 

wondering why the sky 

never changes its hues

 

I take a leap of faith 

not worrying about fate 

I finally flip the switch 

to chase unknown horizons

 

 

- Written for Twiglet #333.  This is the last Twiglet prompt by Misky and I thought this poem was fitting.   Looking forward for new prompts to inspire my writing.

 

a shadow passes

he thought it was the end

when he told her goodbye

yet she haunts his dreams

every single night

 

at midnight with open eyes

he could see her dark shadow

passing by his bedroom door

causing insomnia every night

wolf in sheep's clothing

he had eyes like stars 

with sweet whispers he ensnared

many hearts with lies

 

 

- Written for Twiglet #326: to be a wolf 

 

 

bells like clear vowels

a whisper in the wind

calls out my name

pulling me out of dreams

 

far off I hear bells chime

singing in clear vowels

leading me into sunlight

 

my eyes greet cobalt sky

that was once dark gray

now shines like diamonds

 

 

- Written for Twiglet #318.  I admit that this prompt had me stumped.  I didn't now which way to go, but I really like the phrase.  I decided to make it the title of the poem and go a bit abstract.  Let me know what you think.

 

while waiting for the bus

they standing at the end of

the driveway, that has been 

beaten down by raindrops

waiting for the school bus

to arrive  

 

their neighbor drives by in 

his brand new Tesla as they

huddle under umbrellas 

at last the school bus

comes into view

a friendly chat

she was not looking

for anything new

she was content

in her bubble

 

yet an extrovert

neighbor slowly

chipped away

her cold demeanor

 

a friendly chat

was all she offered

but it was the key

that would open

her door again
