100 Days of Summer 2012

Six Word Saturday…10/13/12


Almost made it to one hundred.


Thanks to all those who cheered me on in the "100 Days of Summer" challenge. I got behind a couple times and posted a day or two late, and nearly made it to 100 by the 100th day (yesterday). Stay tuned...November 4th kicks off the "100 Days of Fall/Winter."

Inhalations of Contentment

 
INHALATIONS OF CONTENTMENT

Burn the want
out of every moment,
for when we want
we forget what we have.

Written in response to Poetic Asides prompt #196 to use one of six suggested first lines to create “What’s New”. The “form” is for Poetic Bloomings In-Form Poet Prompt:  Carpe Diem. Also posted for Day 99 at “100 Days of Summer” on Facebook.

On To A New Stage

 
ON TO A NEW STAGE

Not long ago,
after we first met,
he was putting on a show
under the basement stairs
(his stage)
beating out a rhythm on his drums.

How is it possible
that twenty-six years have passed?

And now I wait
for one of his biggest shows ever.
As he takes center stage
it will be his heart
that is beating out a perfect rhythm
for his bride.
