Sinners danced over fires of joy

Let the soles of their feet rise

They feel warmth, not disdain

Today is life – love – laughter

Coolness takes the soles into rise

Icy veins find no joy in life

…..

This is my 6 line poem in response to Girlie on the Edge’s Six Sentence Story prompt word “Sin.”

a space above my head

dragonfly hovers over my head

keeps a distance of closeness in space

my wonder is what he might be thinking

perhaps a desire to buss my cheek

or weave a nest from my whispy hair

he in his place and I in mine, we keep perfect time

…..

That is my Six Line Poem for this weeks Six Sentence Story challenge

Paths

Paths of dusty trails

Left me alone to struggle

Never falling far

From where I needed to be

This is how I know it’s true

All paths involved you

Bookmarks

She used a soft white cotton cloth, laced with tiny blues, placed it in the book of love created for her infant Jude.

While he ran and played with friends, she kept her book on knees care bent, marked her place with a little spare sock whenever he had needs.

It seems her bookmark had variety depending on her task, a leaf when walking in the autumn, a violet which he presented at her ask.

When he grew up and left her home, to college he would go, she gave him a leather bookmark for love and luck, to keep his place.

Jude came home for winter break and lounged on the settee, when called for dinner he grabbed a pen and bookmarked at his place.

He learned just like his mom to use what was handy to keep his place, the leather bookmark gathered dust, it was not of his breeding.
