wonder if putin

ever held a butterfly in his hand

i think not




time is slipping

through her fingers

quickly

her days are numbered

 

 


give up

you're never going to find

the key to his cash box

or to his heart

 we must cling on to a glimmer of hope

cause life will be fine

take joy

in the bird warble 

in a misty dawn

the glow of sunshine through the leaves

a twig the shape of a cross

there is no evidence that darkness

and the evil force will prevail

THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "Imperfect" by Kim Stafford: evidence, hope, cause, darkness, twig, warble, glimmer, glow, misty, dawn, life, fine

my glam movie star persona

suppose i should learn to drive

even get a license


i spy a girl in an orange clunker

cupid is sharpening 

his arrows


was better when there were

2 lost souls swimming in a fish bowl

wish you were here

Earthweal Weekly Challenge


 do i miss it 

no

i have learned

to never make attachments

to places or things

it can all be taken away



wonder

scrabbled together with bits and pieces

 can be found

everywhere

between the ears

is our most sacred

space

place

 got chickens horses and bees now

a glowing recommendation

for the rustic life

beats driving a truck

delivering dresses

driving along a busy highway

with a smeared windscreen

traffic jam caused by a funeral car

wooden hearse dangling out the boot

vicar in hot pursuit trying to baptize the deceased


 

THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "Amish" by David Shumate: highway, funeral, deliver, dresses, wooden, glowing, bees, horses, chickens, dangle, smear, baptize
