(5-7-5)
Sun meets the water
her dangerous thoughts linger
cheeks blush like the sky
(3-5-3)
sun kissed sea
cheeks blush like the sky
dangerous
(2-3-2)
sunset
dangerous
cheeks blush

Today’s poem was inspired by several prompts!
Rest
that’s what they say
a day set aside
BAM. BAM. BAM.
If only the thoughts would stop their fire
I shift my weight
I smile
I look forward
BAM. BAM. BAM.
Eyes closed.
Breathe.
I stand
I sing
I sit
I listen
BAM. BAM. BAM.
BAM. BAM. BAM.
I…
BAM. BAM. BAM.
BAM. BAM. BAM.
BAM. BAM. BAM.
BAM. BAM. BAM.
Breathe.
I stand
I sing
I smile
I leave

This is another #OCDPoem, a glimpse inside my brain on a typical Sunday.
It’s hollow here
In the space between
Where I am and where I want to be
I can’t seem to shine enough
To keep the dark corners from creeping
Maybe I should just fade to nothing
Let the black envelope me
I’m so tired today

This poem was written for MLMM’s Sunday prompt: Limbo
Once in a while
I feel the need to escape
I want crawl out of my skin
and become something else
roam the wild
see what there is to see
be something different
if only for a little while
a break from being me

“The truth is” – A daily post where I share a truth. It could be something personal, it could be something funny, or something totally random…you never know what you are going to get.
Sometimes I just feel like putting things out there…and here seemed like the best place to do it.
through sunshine or rain-
we wake up in the morning
and start the day new

Today’s Haiku was written for Heeding Haiku with Chèvrefeuille on MLMM.
Also submitted for Open Link Night over at DVerse
How to participate:
Write a micro poem, micro fiction, or an original photograph inspired by the prompt and post it on twitter with #wispwrit.
Create a post with your poem, flash fiction, or original photograph inspired by the prompt. Make sure you link this post in your post and tag it with wispwrit.
For those of you who don’t know, over 3 years ago I started a Twitter writing prompt account “But A Moment” @wispwrit.
This was a one word prompt posted to inspire creativity. I was, unfortunately, only able keep it going for a few months due to personal reasons (I now know it was because of my depression and OCD getting in the way).
But I am ready to get back into the writing community and I have started the #wispwrit challenge once again! For right now it is only on Saturdays, but I have a feeling I will add another day soon, as waiting a week for the challenge is killing me!
So how does this work?
Each prompt will consist of a word or idea meant to inspire you to write something. It can be micro poetry or micro flash fiction posted right on your twitter account. Make sure you create a new tweet with the hashtag #wispwrit.
Please don’t limit yourself to micro!
If you feel inspired to write something longer you can create a blog post (please create a pinback in the post so people know where the prompt came from), Then tag it with #wispwrit and share it on twitter!
Please be sure to follow @wispwrit to be alerted of new prompts.
I will also try to post them here for those who don’t have twitter to participate as well.
Her paper dress
of elegant words
turned to ash
and as the burning truth swelled
the flames melted her plastic smile
I try to close my eyes
Shut out the world
But it’s still there when I awake
There is no escape

Theme: ESCAPE
Laughter comes
in waves
gathering in pools
holding everything
together
