Holy for Sunday Whirl #76

Thanks, Brenda, for the wordle prompt!






the ambivalence of holy
hovers in a dazed state
while incense breathes fear
and flaps empty prayers
at souls who scurry to
seek a soupcon of tenderness
and a thimble full of water
the ambivalence of holy
becomes empty of essence

Maze for Sunday Whirl


Thanks, Brenda, for the Sunday Whirl!








Ah Maze

storm bolts shook the damp
trapped corners into folds
brought remaining climbers
bundled up and watered

the ash hurtled down
when on that all saint's eve
storm bolts shook the husks
dried and set ablaze

Artist for Sunday Whirl #74

Thanks, Brenda and Walt, for a fine Sunday wordle prompt!







artists

curtain call
rocking the runway
sensuous saunters
tangled tresses swing
in tune with lilting lyrics

struts in catlike silence
exterior clad in rich color
while peering paparazzi
sigh silhouetted alliteration
darkly daring

Storm for Sunday Whirl #73

Thanks, Brenda, for the Wordle Prompt!






once upon a rugged morning
out of a remote meadow
where splendor shook its grace
and thunder rolled a blessing
a deep shadow with an attitude
rolled down the ridge
across the marble markers
across the backs of silent cows
across the fierce warriors
suffering took a second seat
to that shadow with an attitude

Cloud 9 for The Sunday Whirl

Thanks, Brenda, for the Wordle prompt!





once upon a time
that number showed up missing
smooth and white
refreshed but with a trace of wild
a cloud by any name
its final gear bared
by last year's hasty shift
no evidence, no notice
once upon a time
cloud nine went missing
