Due
days of love are past
un-done jeans cradle new life
eager babe labors

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

Always more bluster than bully,
Jack stood quietly while his
saddle was adjusted.
It was his sister, Jenny,
that was an ass.

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...

What a fine selection you have offered. I was touched by some and your microfiction gave me a big smile.
re: The Faintest Flicker: Interesting. Your poem sits on the edge of the release from the "long dark night of the soul" but not quite. It's an interesting place to live, in poems.
"Always more bluster than bully,

God, how I love a great word play! In fact, I live for it. Thanks for making my day!
Yeah, great post!
Your contribution to the trifecta prompt was amazing. Well crafted.
I'm always in awe of people who can write poetry :)
I got a huge laugh out of the horse picture. I imagined Jenny sticking her head out of her stall asking "Who are you calling an ass, ass?
Thank you for joining us for this week's Trifecta challenge. I'm with Carrie--in awe of those who can write poetry. Nicely done. Come back on Friday for the weekend challenge?
I like how you work both prompts in. I never quite manage to do that. I need to go one at a time. Thank you for this.
AS Monty Python once wrote "and now for something completely different"
Excellent!
I enjoyed all of your poems. And thanks so much for your fun contribution to last week's Limerick-Off!
