Unspoken – A Haiku
No words, but our eyes
spoke what needed to be said
in silence we knew.

Unspoken – A Haiku Horizons Prompt #87
Cheer & Call – Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge
RonovanWrites has given us another Haiku challenge that is challenging! The Prompt words are Cheer and Call. As always I CHEERfully answered the CALL, twittering around with a few scenarios…happily coming up with a trio of possibilities. Happy Monday fellow WordPressers! If you’d like to play along or read a few other takes on this challenge, click HERE!
“Just cheer up,” they say
when misfortune comes to call
it’s okay to grieve.
“Out!” the umpire called
‘midst the din of rousing cheers!
the crowd came to life!
It is not my call
to cheer you when you’re saddened.
but I can listen.

The Promise – A “Finish the Story” Flash Fiction Story
Photo Credit: ©Barbara W. Beacham 2015
“Not knowing what to expect, he made his way into the dark of the forest”. Time and the environment had all but eaten away what was once their clubhouse. Only a few boards dangled from the crook in the old tree. But that wasn’t what he came for.
It had been thirty years since Joe had been home. News of Tom’s death brought him back to pay his respects and fulfill a promise. He found the spot and dug a shallow hole near the tree’s trunk. The box was still there, its contents intact. They had all made a pact as boys that when the time came, those left behind would send it with the first of them to go.
At the funeral parlor, before the casket was closed, Joe smiled as he placed the book on Tom’s chest… “A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”.

a trilogy of septs
A new challenge and poetry style called a “sept”. Seven lines long with the following syllable structure: 1-2-3-4-3-2-1. I decided to give it a go. Thanks to
Jane Dougherty Writes for this new challenge!
Today’s theme: Hands

Hands
Extend
Hearts exposed
Displaying trust…
But betrayed
Become
Fists
Hands
Are quite
Versatile
Appendages
Fulfilling
Hopes and
Dreams
Hands
Caress
Skin to skin
Connecting us
Separate
Once, now
One.
Sunday’s Week in Review 18 October 2015
Late night, or rather, early morning post…
What an interesting week! As usual the compilation of a line from each post waxes a bit poetic in a quirky sort of way. It reads like a snapshot to me. In fact when I read it I thought, “This is so me!” At least for this week. And about that word quirky…I’m curious now..must look up its origin. Whoever thought of it…I think I like them! 🙂
grief consoled by Pines.
how can you miss someone you’ve never met?
It suits me, don’t you think?
I don’t know how I got here.
All things are worthy
Maybe that is the point.
She’s a late bloomer
A rogue or scoundrel
Whoever thinks reptiles don’t snuggle has never had a tortoise whisper sweet nothings in their ear.
