Search, Quintain

Sunday Scribblings #309 – Search, I wrote a Quintain

*** The crying child will fall at last alone with empty arms that we deceived him with The whining wind of old is now all gone to play its games around the house a bit And search the path of days that runs forlorn.

The breezes of September summer Swing swift and [...]

Nearly uniforms

This week, I decided to combine a few of the prompts.

Those hollow eyes

Are nearly there

Such vast horizons

Unlimited by uniforms.

License

Theme Thursday said “paper”; One Single Impression suggested “sarcastic”; Sunday Scribblings prompted “free”. A combination reads as follows:

*

Reading in a cold, sarcastic tone,

in fact, is license to be free.

Raw

Sunday Scribblings – Raw

Суров,

безмилостен

и глух,

светът събира ни в гигантската си шепа,

да се стоплим.

English-language version

Raw,

callous

this world will cup us in its monstrous hand,

while we are struggling

to keep warm.

Fire, tanka (Sunday Scribblings)

The prompt from Sunday Scribblings this week is Fire. This could be a tanka. Not sure, though

 

Fire blazing up ahead

Believe me – that is not the sun,

It’s just its orange smile

That shines in ardent colours

And reddens to beguile.
