Lovely writers, we are having some health issues at home, so will not be on this weekend. Prompt will still post on Sunday, but I won’t read or respond for a bit. ~M #SenseWrds

What topics obsess you, mystify you? Topics unrelated to your life or heritage. They interrupt your attention like an ear worm tune. They are the sparks of dΓ©jΓ  vu, past lives, refusing to hide. #SenseWrds #writingprompts

You carry a carpet bag like a returning veteran from the Civil War. No wounds visible, just a ready smile. you also wear a vest. I ask myself, is it ironic. It is sprinkled with cake and cookie crumbs like sequins on a showgirl.

Regrets require sincerity. You don’t send a condolence card around the office for everyone in the department to sign. Take a moment of reflection, recall an interaction to send a message of meaning, not obligation. #SenseWrds 191 #writingprompts.

Now from then split the earth like a spade
Trace the path from midnight to dawn
The tremor after the quake
Shine a light of intent into crevices
Where a song in a minor key shimmers
It's right there
A word
Lodged between stone and porcelain tile
Only the ocean can set it free

Off-kilter moods, tilting teeter-totter
Diametrically opposed ups and downs
Out of whack, not syncing, broken router
Different hymn sheets, no solid common grounds
The same page we're on; it's not the same book
Thanks to this journey and the roads we took

When it feels
as if dark swathes
separate us

especially then

I hear our song
swaying on the wind,
as if to sayβ€”

there is nothing
that can truly
keep us apart

since a thread
of light & hope
connects our heartsβ€”

singing always

even
in the dark.

A soft melodic birdsong
lifts above a misty morning's light
clouds adrift
cast a billowy veil of twin
upon a golden hill
There I stand
face to the gentle winds
separated
from the flight of which I dream
by this human vessel
and this lack of wings

Choral chants
in dusky halls
cut the night
who would dare challenge
the wisdom in their words
less we look closer

Gentle cadence split
The night, uncertain shapes in
The shade coalesced.

#SenseWrds 192

in a kinder world where
his name falls from her lips
with joy, where his magic
wraps her in comfort and hers
returns it in an endless warmth
where he speaks endearments
like a song to make her blush so
she kisses him just to shut him up
they are lovers and together and
nothing
hurts

When the pool water skirts along topper tiles,
Bumps go lower.
Welcome to the jacuzzi, baby:
You're gonna die! Swim for the deep end! Jaws ain't there
Tonight
We're all floating down hereβ€”
Why you stay there? Hide over here, under the inflatable
(June bugs shine in the hub's light).

Afloat, wielding poles
along a calm river,
mirrored, with ripples,
looking deep within.
Dragonflies chase prey.
A trout leaps.
Summer's green behind,
Autumn's glory unarrived.
