Ride

This week with Ronovan on his Decima Challenge

On the wings of the wind take flight
The one I love, together ride
Taking in scenes with so much pride
All that gives me pure delight
Saved me from unknown midnight blight
Moving made easy, love’s busy!
“Keep still or you’ll get too dizzy”
You show off and make memories…
adding glow to our lives’ stories
A complete ride, nothing risky!

Just when I thought

Just when I thought

It won’t get any worse, you did more!

Just when I thought

Be gone, you long day that’s so fraught!

You said, “make it Rondelet sure”

My frozen tips began to thaw

Just when I thought.

Ronovan is at it again…and what do you think?

Sizzling Sleekness

This week’s Haiku is on Sizzle & Sleek and all I could think of was burning. Let’s see how I fared

Jerry Curls

Sizzle and It’s Sleek

Reminds me of fire burnt hair

And much oil to show

Age of ‘Innocence’?

Dressed in Silk

She spits hotness unsurpassed

And walks unaware

Standing, not Fallen Flags

Many men and women have sacrificed their lives and loves for the love of their Country, to ensure the safety of their people, lands and borders. Sometimes, we celebrate them, other times we immortalize them. Ronovan’s challenge for today to me is a call to celebrate them https://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com/2016/05/30/ronovanwrites-weekly-haiku-poetry-prompt-challenge-99-flagfallen/

Heroes Past

Half-mast flags mean sad

Lives cut in prime and duty

…Decorated dead

Not Forgotten

We celebrate you

Though gone, your good deeds we praise

As our flags we raise

Writer’s Quote Wednesday Writing Challenge – Romance

Colleen and Ronovan started a new challenge and you know me, I’m up for a challenge any day especially when it comes to poetry. By the way I just wrote this! Thank you both of you for the motivation to write again!

A Blend of Two Worlds

From one sphere to another I roamed
Seeking one whose complexity I could easily tow
They came, saw, pretended and fled becoming dumb
Say something! Speak your heart’s thought, let it drum
Let the desires form images of songs to which I can dance
I owe no one but me to let loose and do the prance
The chains of conformity have long held me in deformity
Today, tonight, I break free and become one in uniformity
Perhaps it will last a life time that I cannot tell
But when I look back, I desire to have a worthy tale!

THE DECEIVER

Wolves in stolen clothes

Cover up, within the fold move free

Alas, the Shepherd’s one short.

Ronovan and Colleen have got me hooked this time.
