broken hearts are not
always open to healing
some bleed poison
devoured by desire

Just Desserts
PHOTO PROMPT © ROGER BUTOLT
“What’ll it be ladies?” Joe asked.
“Dessert!” Sue smiled.
“Something sweet! But not too sweet.” Julie sighed.
“Come on Julie,” Debra chided, “go for it! We’re celebrating!”
“Oh yeah? Whatcha celebratin’?” Joe asked as he displayed his sweetest pies to three sets of wide eyes.
Sue declared proudly, “Well, we have lost a total of 100 pounds between us!”
“Wow! I’m guessing you want whipped cream on top?”
Julie giggled, “Yes sir!”
Joe winked, “Coming right up!”
From a table nearby a child whined, “Mama, why can’t I have just desserts?”
The diner’s patrons burst into laughter and applause.

Travelers beware!

For TJ’s Household Haiku, photo/word prompt. the words are Arch & Tree. In researching the words I discovered that mythical legends tell tales of dragons nested in the arch-trees, their dense limbs brushing the underside of heaven. So to illustrate, I added our friends to TJ’s awesome photograph for my haiku.
Drem Yol Lok (“peace fire sky” in Dragon speak. It means, “Greetings” and an acknowledgement of territory and temporary withholding of agression). You might want to familiarize yourself with that phrase should you find yourself in the presence of a dragon in the arch-trees! 🙂
Here’s TJ’s original photo for the prompt:
Easily Vexed
petulant karma,
unforgiving, easily vexed
la femme bête noire

For Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge, prompt words: excite (vex) & karma.
