Blessed

Colleen Chesbro’s Theme Prompt for this month is The Day After.’

Here is my response in etheree

As

It dawns

Sunshine bright

The day after

You’re filled with promise

New beginnings, fresh starts

Aware of your inner strength

So many opportunities

Such are the gifts of the day after

Humbly you embrace with a grateful heart

Sad

This week’s challenge from Colleen Chesebro, is a Poet’s Choice. I chose the words: SEEK & ELUSIVE 

Just seeing someone

Trying too hard to be liked

Can be confusing

The very thing they’re seeking

Grows ever more elusive

Bird is the Word

Oh

To be

A turkey

Thanksgiving day

Dinner focal point

Your fragrance fills the air

They’re fighting for your hot legs

And wishing on your very bones

They break out the very best china

For your glorious final resting place

To control

Serpent tendencies

I sit here

Play music

To hypnotize the wicked

Risking my own life

faint hints

She dropped to the ground

Hence, the opportunity

For him to notice
