#beginninglinechallenge Creeping silently under the veil of night, Unknown intruders invite. Recording, watching what you do, and you'll never know, you'll never have a clue.
#acrosticchallenge T wisting, arching on your sheets. W himpering, whining, full of heat. I gnited, fire burning. N ight flames burn, bodies yearning. F ired up passions, cocked and loaded.
#sundayrepost Pink sky, and crimson lakes, My homeland, in my heart I will not forsake. A traveler of distant lands am I But none are pleasing to my eye.
I must have dropped into my brother's life like some unwelcome package, A swaddled stray, splitting air with wails. He was, Quiet, sensitive, And I was pedal on gas. I demanded attention.
#Sundayrepost I swirl electric, chanting my name to the stars Tassels of moonbeams, ribbons of milky light Dancing, upon distant Mars I am galvanic bones Upon this earth divine Sphere of mortal...
So many wonderful pieces, but Ultimately there can only be one Never had such a blast judging Let me tell you, it was fun. I counted thirty in all. Goin big, not small.
#natureacrostic Soft, upon the dappled crest. Umbered earth on which to rest. Nature's frolic, Lambent touch. Ignites the loam Gives life's first blush.
#acrostic A ltered paths, turns and twists, too often security life resists. M any dreams we must reshape, stability amorphous, elusive like mist.
#acrostic A ll of me. All of me. M y heart and soul are yours. O ur love will blaze across the sky, and fire the evenings stars.
#acrostic Adieu. Ma Cherie. My heart is placed on hold. Our time together suspended Until the evening clock has tolled. Return to me tonight, my love, for, you complete this humble household..
The screaming erupted that day Like pop rocks from my Grandmother's mouth. My Mother, in the front house, was busy mopping the floor, And I, had been drifting, like a lazy bee, with nothing to do.
#puresilly Evil Dr. Full pint is a nasty rapscallion he'll plunder your casks and tap your best galleon But Beer Bonds on hand to stave off this thief He'll save the day then light up a spleef!.

#sundayrepost I can't fucking take it anymore Idiotic talking heads gonna give me the score. They vomit a cacophony of crap. Do they have any brains or are they all just on smack.
Hands meet. Warm, electric. Eyes greet. Interest uptick. Smile invites. Sensory pleasures. Gentle graze. Tantalizing treasure. A moment to savor,. So brief and by chance. Two strangers ignite.
#Sundayrepost Let me whisper in your ear my dear of things that oft transpire when shadows long and toads do song and stars begin to fire.
I am universe I am molecules eclectic I am immense I am symphony electric I am fantasized form Hugged by skin From where do I end. From where do I begin.

#acrosticchallenge Stone castle, granite thrones. Tower over dreams they'd sown. Obelisk sentinels stand eternal. Nocturnal, diurnal, winter, vernal. East and west, north to south.
In my Grandmothers kitchen the tortillas made the air thick. Sweet, wet corn smell drifting.... Making soft the troubles of the day.
Another stab at wacky free form. Adapted from Angel Beast. #nightdweller ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I opened my sacred book again at days end, and saw smiling grimace against daily imperfections.
The sacred imperfection of you, Carves my very soul. The radiant, fragmented glory of you tears me up then makes me whole.
A frozen calm has gripped my soul. A silence....so still. Emotions recede in the eye of the storm. I have taken my fill. Within the boundaries of my shell, A void, so deep.
I breathe soft. The memory of you, Lost. Dispersed among these daily deeds. I stand tangled. Freed yet bound by tired gauze. I am on my way....

#disabilityaware This is a true story about when I volunteered and provided respite for families. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cerebral palsy, wheelchair bound Dyskinetic, uncontrolled.

#nightdwellers I walk and make my way with brittle steps. Conscious cascade Streams of thought, whispering breeze Shutter this window Caw of crow over roiling sea.
Username, password, login please. I'm feeling hemmed in by characters that breed. Multiplying like rabbits, They will inhabit our brains and make them bleed. Special characters they cannot contain.
The winter of my folly remains to taunt the calmness of my soul. When our love went down in flames, I thought I'd regain control. We danced upon that great divide, where reason gives way to greed.
We all want to be "in the know" To prove it, we make such a show. But here's the real deal, you see In order to know, you must be free, from what you think is so.
It's ordinary, but it's beauty aches to be realized. So ordinary, it's grace so often disguised. Moment by moment it lies within these confines. Too often overlooked by preoccupied minds.

Up to the attic my dear. To bring down the boxes that hold Yuletide cheer. I'll deck these halls with tinsel and grace With fragrant boughs strewn about the place.
I have been forged in the fires of temporary ease. It burns hot across this unfinished landscape. Let the ancient winds of a thousand unhinged dreams sweep, unhindered through my valleys.
#night-dweller #beginning line challenge The crimson trail disappeared into the night. Into the night my senses are seared, held captive.... expanded by energy light.

Been working on some flash fiction. Would love some input ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The remark insinuated itself like cat's claws, oozing saccharin sweetness.
Been reading up on contemporary poetry. Here is my first stab at it. Near as I can tell, if it confuses and annoys the reader then it's contemporary poetry.
I, a child of luggaged dreams. Adrift, with teddy bears and baby dolls between distracted households. Longing for a sure foot upon the shifting desires of others. Uprooted with whim and fancy.
#household Where do children go when they too far stray. To Torchwood Manor down the lane Where ghouls and goblins do fancy feast On bat pie fricassee and fine young meat.

#movement Where white foamed tipped waves crash upon sand Where Poseidon's touch caresses the land.
#Movement With a kick and a waggle of her stockinged leg. With a swish of her skirt up over her head. Spinning and twirling with frenzied delight. With bum in the air the humor is light.
Thank you Lee for choosing my piece Ice Mistress. This must have been a tough one for you- so many great reads. Right, so let's get to it. The new word is... Ocean. Have fun.

#household We've staked this humble home of ours, out here among the stars Where dreams do fade with waning light, and stings like salt upon old scars.

#household Spectral light explodes.
#emotion. Oh the little things you do. Cause heart palpitations through and through. Your mannish ways leave me in a daze. I'm flustered by the likes of you. Sent to the brink by the things you say.

@Burrfoot Traveling through Lake Tahoe On mountain roads With breathtaking views Stuck behind traveling Porta Potties Turns my mind to you..
My love for you still lives in chains that bind. Unmet expectations torturing my mind. Same promises, year after year after year. Devoid of intention It's finally clear.
#household There once was a man with a wife With cushions so soft and nice He'd often lay there With nary a care Counting his blessings twice..
#household I have a couch cushion that's needy Well, perhaps it's more that it's greedy The money I make This cushion will take This strikes me as terribly seedy..

I smile, bat my eyes Lovers gaze invites you in Tender kiss for you #bat.
Ball, a bullet thrown Batter stands at the ready Bat crack. Arcs through air #bat.
The clarion call I'm sure is Sounding, and my love is on the hill With nothing but a Pitchfork in hand, Thirsty for a kill. The Archers will draw Their bows, the pikemen have their Weapons tall.
