Lay back in the grass, relax, take a deep breath

and write as you are inspired.

here. sun.
there. water.
kids run around me,
ignoring my sudden urge
to feel the grass
tickle my skin.

I would have stayed
all day.
I would have watched
sun fall off
island's edge.

I would have seen
the Milky Way fade
into existence,
guessed which constellations
actually appear in autumn,
and which planets twinkle
and which stars shine.
I'm no astronomer.

But Joe jumped on my chest
with an innocent laugh,
and pulled me off my ground bed.
We played on the roof,
and looked for salamanders instead.

Suggested Prompt...

Consider for a moment a ripe and succulent berry.

Its look, smell, texture, the way it feels in your hand, your mouth,

the moment its juices flood your tongue.

Close your eyes and imagine it.

Now write a poem for a berry.

_____________________________

berry of straw
berry of blue
berry of rasp
berry of cran

each taste is luscious
each scent is perfume
each one is a treasure
waiting to be found.

juice unlocks desire,
it taps the senses:
hear it swooshing,
taste it dancing,
feel it gliding,
see it gone.

behind, left are stains:
polish on fingers,
polka-dots on shirts,
of red, mahogany and blue.

Think of one person you love.

Offer them a poem.

Yes, feel free to get mushy. :)

___________________________

Always you,
my great love affair.
Our blood, our tears
intertwined like barbed wire
bound to memories
perceived differently
by each of us.

Our memoirs,
they read differently,
each cut and bruise
of childhood
remembered
so that blame is unfastened
from our backs.

The past
we carry on our backs
like turtle shells
to house us.
We retreat into it, now and then,
to remind us how we have the
same colored hair
and why we love each other.

In darkness
we played games
(like pull my feet)
when we should have
been asleep.

We argued,
you were always too messy,
I always took your clothes
(they always looked better on me).

Every Relationship
has its conflicts,
we may go years without speaking,
(though we never would)
but the fact still remains,
we are sisters.

Bound by sisterhood,
our past,
our hair shines red,
our face is the same.

This is not an apology.
You are the better half,
not that we're, together, a whole.
Your heart is the heart
I wish I had beating inside me.
But I know it beats for me,
just as mine
beats for you.

Sister,
you'll be my greatest
love affair.

Offer a poem to this unique image.

EYE SEE

I see you every morning when you awake
I see you fixing your lunch and preparing for work
I see you when you kiss me goodbye, wishing me a good day

I see you every afternoon as I look around our comfortable home
I see you even when you aren't here
I see you when you call with the 30 minute warning as I prepare our supper

I see you with a happy heart when you finally arrive for the night
I see you as you relish your meal and settle in for the evening
I see you as we share our day, sometimes in words or in comfortable silence

I see you as we call it a night, express our love and head for bed
I see you in my fractured dreams, you're always on my mind
I see your essence, I see your heart, my eyes can see your love
