Sweet and Bitter Stuff of Wonder
Brought to you by Mary K
Originally, I meant to write haiku for Carpe Diem’s prompt of Eclipse. Obviously, I need to write other stuff, too. Here it is:
###
Eclipsed by destiny
and the craze
of recent summer,
my shells-and-pebbles necklace
is lying quiet on the beach.
Forgotten, looking junk-like
now.
Just a whiff of hot sand
carried with the
harsh October wind.

September Heights #09 – Gloss
***
October morning
Frost is crisp on flower lips
Gloss remains till spring
Gloss remains till spring
Though those flowers perish fast
Crispy frost stays on
Crispy frost stays on
Flowers bloom on icy glass
Varied shapes and size
Varied shapes and size
Snowflakes swirl in mist outside
Windows sparkle gloss
Windows sparkle gloss
It comes upon a morning
Early October…

Enter October (and Robert prompted it on the PA Forum under #152):
***
When I see October come
I smell family
Early dusk
Weekend baking
The chill and red outside the window
And coffee steaming warmth inside
When I see October come
My childhood hears my Mom
Making endless fuss
Over overspills of milk, or flour blasts
Around the oven
When I see October come
I get festive, high on Muses,
Over-caffed and over-sugared.
