(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!
through sunshine or rain-
we wake up in the morning
and start the day new

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
This #micropoem is in response to #Poetheme 315 run by Micropoetry.com
Theme: ESCAPE
Laughter comes
in waves
gathering in pools
holding everything
together
My flame has gone out
but I still smolder, waiting
to burn once again
I know I have been away for quite awhile. Life has made it difficult for me, as of late, and writing has been pushed to the wayside. I promise to be back soon with more, but for now, here are a few short lines in honor of TLT Throwback.
She saw everything clearly
Teetering on the edge
If only she had wings
Your shelves are like deep pools of stories
told only to me
I willingly drown in your words

My mind
Holds onto fears
Folds them up and keeps them
Forever
I was born this way
But I can break this code
Rewire
And freely live
