The Imaginary Garden…

Beach~

rough waves wash my ankles
soothing to tired feet and souls..

searchers dig in wet grains
the tiniest treasure to find...

picnickers pack up.. headed home
weary little ones already napping..

sand castles wait on the night 
melting slowly in the rising tide..

silently I head to my perch..
singing to the ocean from my balcony above..

Succinctly Yours Week 176 ~

Fable~

I thought I had found prince charming.

He walked away when he saw that my second toe was longer. 

I didn't bother to tell him that he was just a fable.

A Gated Limerick

a gal with a very full plate

decided to leave love to fate

she had a ten year plan

and a sexy pool-man

at her house on the hill upstate

3 Word Wednesday-  downhill/ freak/ sliver

The Faintest Flicker

sitting across from you 

I struggle to control the beast

inside of me..

I want to scream and yell

that this is not all that there is..

I want to lecture about freaks

and downhill spirals and blessings

that take ballet and learn to play the organ..

but for the life of me I can not choke

the joy that I see in your eyes..

and for just one second .. I too 

caress a sliver of hope...

Hello

his woman called out a hello

entering back doors she would go

led along by her man

life was one foolish plan

only fights each night in jello

Oh Butler... Where are You?

a fellow was famous worldwide
until it was found that he lied
his name was defaced
his shame was showcased
the butler made off with his bride

Succinctly Yours- Week 30-  Toil

A Very Fine Tale...

Sarah and Bill
sat on the hill
a bucket in each of their hands
they toiled in the sun
and considered it fun
till the waves invaded their lands

their moat overflowed
the castle was bowed
a crab ran away with a shell
they stomped everything down
in the sand castle town
and ran home with a story to tell..

Lily's Friday Prediction-

The Climb

It had not been love at first sight... she had just began to shrivel when he pounced on her from the lowest limbs of the old tree.. He was a rare form of ugly.. one that few had ever seen and none had admired.. fanning her with a newspaper he had offered her a piece of gum to chew.. as if they were nothing more than humans on a desert camping trip...

"It's the only way to hide in plain view " He explained..

Knowing that it was time.. she followed him deep into the caverns.. where their ascension began...
