Bonkers – NaPoWriMo #10


planets
in retrograde
pale full moon lunacy
seaside tides; gray matter swelling
bonkers

Gone – NaPoWriMo 2017 #9


you
left the
door open
the day you left
I can’t bring myself to close it, not yet
hoping that you might decide to come back
but I’m a fool
you’re never
coming
home

Barefoot – NaPoWriMo 2017 #8

grass between my toes,
breeze softly tossing my hair,
wispy clouds, blue sky,
sometimes I need reminding
where I’m from and who I am

never is the moon
more bright than when
it is frosted by clouds

Peace in Pieces

The sky is falling   send in the drones
no place to hide   enough is enough
little by little   show them who’s boss
hope slips away   weak we are not
death is a gift   they won’t soon forget
when life is pure hell   bomb them to bits
mercy is madness   mercy’s for losers
though some live to tell   who haven’t a clue
darkness unending   bleeding heart saps
no place to hide   enough is enough
the sky is falling   send in the drones

(NaPoWriMo 2017 #7 –  Today’s prompt suggestion was to write something along the lines of “luck” and “fortuitousness”, but I’m afraid I didn’t have the heart for it.
