in the gloaming gloom
candlewicks charred from past trysts
yearn to be consumed
with no dread of ashy death
the flame’s fervid kiss is life

For Haiku Horizons’ weekly challenge prompt: skip.
Bolt, skedaddle, flit
hippety-hop, ricochet,
or simply say, “skip”!kat ~ 16 May 2016
Best place to be in sub-zero weather…bundled in fur! 🙂
Forget about style
when winter’s crisp nip blusters
mukluks and parkas.
The girl had spirit
sashaying about en vogue
second-hand vintage.
The latest gadgets
are all the rage on store shelves
obsolete once home!
