Summer Preserved

luscious fruit preserves
summer sun sealed tight in jars
warmth for winter days

Scent

crystal droplets cling
scents taken by the updraft
murmur in the breeze

The Mag - 121/OSI 224

Still Life, 1670, detail by Jean François de Le Motte

a small treasure found

tucked away

among the debris   

of what once was

shinning brightly...

beckoning

longing to be remembered...

and loved once again

Paraesthesia

For the 100th prompt @ Think Tank Thursday- eccentric.

- pen a poem based on any work of Tim Burton

stabbing, stinging, prickling skin

stick more pins and needles in

from my royal throne I reign

this my kingdom full of pain

odd sensations I cannot quell

but here I rule in private hell

I am the queen of paraesthesia

so doctor please, some anaesthesia

Waiting For Rain

and then the rain came

with it - possibilities

quenching my parched soul
