    Mountain Laurels

    Summer lingers Days still sunny and warm And time, it seems to crawl As seasons drift to fall Golden haze hangs over distant fields Thoughts of you slipping through the veil Of passing days and hours While trees hold...

    • What a gorgeous piece.🌹🌾

    • I told you I was seeking peace of mind. 🌼

    • hello dearest Joe you are one of the most beautiful writer I’ve ever known I’m honored to be here with you 💕

      • And you my friend write beauty all your own. We’re like puzzle pieces helping bring a more beautiful picture together 🌼

        • that’s a wonderful thought for my soul 💕

          • Well, you desire thoughts of wonder and beauty, isn’t that what you give? 🌼

            • I don’t know I just go where I’m led I do my best there is a flow to some of them that is luck you have the artist touch of a musician and a master of words 💕

              • Thank you, Brenda. That was a beautiful compliment – but be careful not to over inflate my ego.too much!🌼

    • And nature is where I find it. 🌼

    • You put a beautiful touch on that wonderful time in-between the seasons, especially Summer to Fall, when the ground has cooled down enough to lay on it again. I’m not trying to get too comfy…there are more scorchers on the horizon. But Fall is the best. Thumbs up ^

      • I hear you, I’m ready to hit some trails without dying of heat stroke! Fall will be here quick enough. Good to have you back around! 🍁

    • You take simplicity and develop stark imagery. I like the easy flow of your work.

      • Thank you. Nature and the beauty of women are the wine of life, to be savored at ease. Sometimes I capture that.

    Destruction does not happen it's created

    I was born from two people who did not know what they created A force to be reckoned with, never to be underestimated.  As I walk into the room, all eyes are on me. Smooth like iceNot seeing the fire being set free What they don't...

    • fucking shit…. I left for a few weeks now you want me dead… ok im leaving

    • Um…duly noted. Definitely destruction incarnate

    • This is rather unsettling knowing the devastation that’s so common these days with active shooters. Very scary.

      • I did not want you to feel that way. Going with the prompt I created with Ambyr, He picked creation, and I chose to go with devastation. That encompasses Fire, Water, Ice

        • No problem. The poem has a lot of weight to it and a lot of fire in its delivery.

    • Powerfully penned, Fia. This is a change of pace my friend, you always prove there is no subject you can’t tame. It’s too close to call, you both delivered amazing writes. Appreciate you.

    • You nailed this one. No doubt about it. The kind of write that pulls you along in an inexorable tide of power and rhyme. I keep envisioning cement shoes while reading 😁

    I tell myself stories Constantly I construct entire backstories From little innocuous events Forever confusing My invention with reality Loudly screaming my opinions In my head About all the things Nobody asked

    • I construct stories all the time, too. I relate to this.

    • This reminds me of someone I used to work with. They had a full book worth of different stories in their head. They would go on all work shift telling me these stories.

      Great ink, friend.

    • I do the same when I’m unoccupied. Daydreaming can be constructive as long as you know which sidewalk is real.
