Navigating the shallows Wending her way through shallows, weeping willows caressed her arms as she watched an osprey fish while grey skies promised rain. "I wish." She prayed that harm would never come to roost among the swaying branches, that pain would wait for some other day; her arms felt leaden, her lungs ready to return to clay, the pole hung heavy. As she turned and saw a rainbow, she lifted her face to receive a cleansing, the hole in her heart slowly sealing as a fish broke the surface sending ripples racing towards shoals, and a shimmer of hope her way. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.105] (12.juni.2021) 17 lines with rhymes.

“Dazy Hell” Dazy, Dazy, allow me to nip your bud. I’m half crazy for th' iron in your blood. It won’t be a longish huggin'. I must cut short my clubbin', 'fore dawn bleeds red, asleep in bed in a casket fit for a stud. Mikey, Mikey, here is your answer true. I’m not crazed to be stuck forever with you.

Sit next to the fire, as close as you dare a solstice villanesque Sit next to the fire, as close as you dare as beacons are lit to beckon the dawn. Snuggle with me to dispel the chill air. Don't pout about how this life's so unfair, weighing the yeas and nays, the pros, the cons; just, sit next to the fire, close as you dare. Forget about others who stare and glare. Think only of my shoulder as you yawn. Snuggle with me to dispel the chill air. No matter the mosquitoes, don't be scared. Be happy and joyful; be not withdrawn. Sit next to my fire, as close as you dare, knowing that I'll always take the best care of you, my love, take refuge in my brawn. Snuggle with me to dispel the chill air and to banish the cobwebs of despair. I'll protect your heart, for what's gone is gone. Snuggle with me to dispel the chill air. Sleep next to my fire, as close as you dare. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.99] (22.juni.2021) Prompt: ![]() 3rd place in

It's time to say goodbye i Soon Lamps will cast their Light announcing that it's time to head Home. Night gathers in the East and races to catch up with the run-away Sun. We talk until we cannot see the white Thread from the Dark. It's time to say goodbye until the Morn. ii It's time to say goodbye until the Morn. Will Dawn ever come? Sit with me as the Moon rises to cast our Shadows, glows to show us the right Way forward... if not home. iii Chill enters my bones but the warmth of your Embrace will linger after you're gone. Go now before the Nightengale is hushed by the Owl. Go before the Lamplights gutter, before our Joy is crushed by those who envy us. Go, and travel safe. Take this candle, to guide you to the coming Dawn. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.127] (27.mai.2021) |
9:09 There's a certain symmetry in golden wisps that criss cross the northwest, the flag waving goodbye to the day, the clouds, the rains, goodbye to the river racing towards the sunset. As Twilight gathers her skirts and Night his lanterns. Goodbye. As air cools and summer sky darkens. Goodbye. As the golden globe seeks other venues, bringing them dawn. Goodbye. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.126.s] (26.mai.2021) Note: sunset comes late in Western Montana. |
Divide Together we fell from a cloud to wet the mountain peak where we parted ways. We slid downwards, each to our own destiny, off to different seas. But drops do not control their fortune or fate. In a cafe far away we sit in bottles at the back of a shelf. Apart together, bound not free. Until we're both sold to travel side-by-side. With our benefactors' kiss, united once more. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.125.s] (25.mai.2021) |
Butterfly Herbs on the 22nd of May salted caramel the clatter of dishes soft music harmonizes with hushed chatter under tin ceilings older than the living who after a year stuck in their caves venture forth to sit as always among bins of coffee and jars of tea all seems normal even the snowflakes in the early morning gracing the hills adorning the trees © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.122] (22.mai.2021) 12 lines.

So much promise So much promise but you slink away to the west not even bothering to tell the flag that now hangs limp. We would wave if we had a glimpse of a glow. No. Another sunset is never promised and skies darken as we wonder about dawn. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.124.s] (24.mai.2021) |
Declaration of The Bab Was it raining that night when the Heavens opened up and spoke. Did the fragrance of flowers or the songs of nightbirds intrude. Did it matter. A moment linked to other moments, suspended in time, when ground-dwellers begged for a message from the Sky. Did it rain then too. Not winds nor sunshine ever mattered to those deaf to mercy, to those blind to grace, dumb from whatever rained down upon them from threatening clouds. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.123.s] (22.mai.2021) Declaration of The Bab, 22 May 1844, 2 hours after sunset |
