Pulled up to the empty parking lot of the restaurant. Amend that, empty except for one giant Yamaha crotch rocket and a man, standing off to the side, looking at the back patio. His back turned so I could get a long look at his long frame in his tan dress pants and matching… Continue reading dVerse — Poetics — imprint

Thursday Inspiration 57 — rise to color
From watery shadow's limbo Burning embered love does rise To glow on spirit's tippy toes Monochromatic suffocation Flooded with oxygenated hues Then sighing, recede, and rest. Paula Light is the host of Thursday Inspiration. Paula says: This week’s theme is sunset and the picture is below. Here is the song snippet from “Sunrise Sunset,” a… Continue reading Thursday Inspiration 57 — rise to color

#MM — Saturday Mix — Love’s Return
Love's Return Birds drift warm breezes, Calls echoing to each other, Then land on same branch. I listen for bells on sails Tinkling we'll be kissing soon. Clear skies, winds westward. My schooner flies towards harbor; Birds drift overhead. Bells tinkle like your laughter; Warm breezes touch like your sighs. Sarah Weejars is… Continue reading #MM — Saturday Mix — Love’s Return
#FF — Plugged in
PHOTO PROMPT © Dawn Miller “What do you think, Myrna?” Myrna sat hunched on the pastel green vinyl hospital rocker next to mother's bed, her hand resting softly on the woven cotton blanket covering her mother's inert foot.
