On a lone flower
The first butterfly of spring
Drinks with great fervor
Laughing mountains discover
Colorful rainbows
March winds stir dandelions
Rooted in spring mud
Wintering insects take flight
After long winter slumber
Spring at last
Mortals sing with joy
Songs of hope

Old or new
They come to light
Structures painted
In shades of white
Weekly Prompts Colour Challenge – White by Sue W & Gerry C
Nature’s sweet call
Trees softly whisper
The caress of a gentle breeze
Birds mellifluously serenade
The spirit responds
I am only fourteen
I don’t intend any harm
I just want to be seen
So I turn on the charm
I don’t intend any harm
It’s attention I seek
So I turn on the charm
Play it cool and sweet
It’s attention I seek
Recklessness adds to the fun
Play it cool and sweet
Watch it come undone
Recklessness adds to the fun
I just want to be seen
Watch it come undone
I am only fourteen

I come through the fog
An ominous shadow
Cast by the light of the full moon
I rise from the earth
And walk upon walls
Carrying with me
Answers to the universe
Prepare for my visit
You are the next chapter
Sadje’s What do you see # 227
It appears to walk on water as it swiftly traverses the lily pads.
Brazen little guy came onto our boat. Our guide informed us that it is looking for insects hitchhiking on the tourists 🙂
For I. J.’s Birds of the Week Invitation LIII
A gift for you
A large one too
Won’t fit in my car
And the walk is too far
A dilemma for sure
But I found a cure
A jostle and squeeze
A few begs and pleads
The bus shall arrive
With your gift tucked inside
Melissa’s Fandango Flash Fiction Challenge #256
For the visually challenged writer, the image depicts the back of a French autobus on the street. It is filled with people. We also see the back of a man who is dressed in a suit. He is pushing a rather large female cow through an entrance to the bus.
In a previous life
I must have sinned greatly
The universe
Really does hate me
As here I stand
Along a dirt road
Another tourist
Unburdening their load
Some dare complain
Of the horrible smell
Though my caregiver
Cleans me up well
The rare welcome visitor
Praises they sing
“Hallelujah!” “Amen!”
For the service I bring
