Mars and Venus for Sunday Whirl #80

Thanks, Brenda, for the Wordle prompt.

far across the sky

women linked

by a single thread

and bound by wary wiles

powered shifts within the we

against splits with men

damaged along the way

curses and blathers on

that single thread is cut

watchful eyes

expose night's devil

the pie sneak

Umbrella for Sunday Whirl #78

Thanks, Brenda, for the wordle prompt!

a child of the dark

she inherited thunder

on the right side of light

an umbrella of gold

was her excuse to stand

and to join the deep shift

a child of the dark

she vowed to become ruler

of the light side of night

As always, these are quick writes before viewing others' work. And it's amazing how much similarity  and how many differences can be found at the Sunday Whirl entries!

thready pulse

stilled by sudden chills

fall vapors

Fall for Sunday Whirl #77

Thanks, Brenda, for the Wordle prompt!

brittle frost broke the fever

fetched by heated sheaths

of summer borne dog days

crusty rustles from the north

trapped the charming willows

without an upfront warning     

the unbearable piercing breeze

exploded and could not mend

those shattered hearts of autumn

Uri for Magpie Tales #137
