Through my bare feet I absorb all the pain, and desperation of people who dwell in this city of change. One whip of my wings can smite evil doings miles away. Do not look for me; I am invisible in my travels. If you should see a flash of lavender, know that I am protecting you. If you feel the beat of my wings, know that your planned diabolism is thwarted. http://thesundaymuse.blogspot.com/
Written for: Friday Writings #78 - Artificial Intelligence Intellectual children strive to make our world a little less truthful, a little less stable, a little less private. Our world becomes their playground. They manipulate us, jerking the strings of their marionettes. https://poetsandstorytellersunited.blogspot.com/
As I sit here and type this note, one-handed, I have to tell you all that I will be out of circulation for at least a couple of weeks. Graceful person that I am, I broke, and dislocated my wrist. OW!! Hope to see you soon. Carry on. Sara
Written for: Poetics Aside #650 "Write a meanwhile poem." I listen to a beach meditation waves curling onto shore and tears flow I see blue waves in my head, white foam splashing and tears flow My breath becomes rhythmic to that of the waves and tears flow When I slowly open my eyes my cheeks are moist. I am relaxed. https://www.writersdigest.com/write-better-poetry/wednesday-poetry-prompts-650
Written for: dVerse Poets Pub - Quadrille #175 - mapping out our poems (posted by whimsygizmo). "Map" She wears the map of years across her face– forehead frown lines of disappointment, crow’s feet circling weary eyes. All those instances where she could not muster a smile, pull corners of her mouth into a permanent frown. She imagines the future at 50. https://dversepoets.com/2023/05/01/quadrille-175-mapping-out-our-poems/
Written for: The Twiglets #323 - happy nod
Her face bobbed
up and down
like a beachball.
as she nodded yes
to his proposal.
Alice nodded off
under a shady tree.
She woke to find herself
in a strange land.
sun sparkles lake
she nods her head happily
words would break the spell
The strange thing about Mr. Mertz–
his reactions worked in reverse.
nodded yes to a hike
with boy scouts he disliked.
Adding woods and bugs, that nod proved he was cursed.

Written for: Poetic Bloomings2 - Prompt #436 Step Up To The Plate he says. How can I not grasp this opportunity to once again work with Mr. Romance. If I am able to fill a mere toe of Sweet Marie's shoe, I will be ecstatic. Marie, I wish you well. Your return to our garden would be welcome as a daffodil sun, shining its rays on all the seedlings, and planters– as you do. https://poeticbloomings2.wordpress.com/
Written for: The Sunday Whirl, Wordle #603
Words: night, flashes, you, mystery, bow, climb,
emerge, grain, bearing, verge, heart, clash
Night flashes,
a mystery. We seem
to be on the verge
of an emergence.
We climb to apex
of grainy rock,
our hearts pounding
so hard we nearly
lose our bearings.
Clash! An unknown
creature stands
before us. Bows.
'Who are you?' it
asks in perfect
English. We could
ask the same if
we weren't frozen
in place.

It is daybreak, and I am not home. He said we were destined to be together, however, after our sex-soaked night, we fell asleep. He changed his mind as day broke. What a joke. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. People will stare at me on the train, but at least I will be out of that brutal rain. http://thesundaymuse.blogspot.com/
