land decimated
nature’s forces so brutal
scared people fleeing

The first thought in my head in response to this prompt is the havoc nature is playing with us in multiple states in the USA. I happen to live in Kansas where this season we have endured endless rain, severe flooding and thunderstorms, a few tornado watches and an actual warning of one approaching our area. Unfortunately, those turned devastating elsewhere in the state. Luckily, my family and friends haven’t been terribly affected, but some were not so fortunate. Nature can be so damn beautiful and expressive, then ravage you in an instant.

Reflection

The flashback of life In the moments before death! veiled strategies fake sounds human masks the monstrosities within! Now, as I develop eyes behind And move from numbing pain to awakening… The knife stabbed in the back Is the Truth to be carried to eternities ahead! https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2019/05/30/tale-weaver-225-reflection-may-30th/

Invisible

When a river flies, I will be the cloud When a cloud pours, I will be its tear When a mountain walks, I will be its leg I power movements, but remain invisible I’m the God nobody worships – but they acknowledge me grudgingly with guilt https://girlieontheedge1.wordpress.com/2019/05/29/its-six-sentence-story-thursday-link-up-57/

More Than Numbers – Double Reverse Fibonacci

More than numbers ….by Deborah at awisewomansjourney

Written In Response To:

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #88 – PROMPT: ‘magic numbers’ –  This week’s prompt moves around two points: 

  1. A sudden event that feels magical in its impact
  2. Significance of numbers or any superstition if you find it interesting

The Fibonacci Sequence – 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 – is the syllable count for each line of the poem.

We

Are

More than

A number’s

Definition says

We are the Creator’s glory

More precious than our eyes can see

Divinity’s light

Shone through love

And more

Are

We

Raven and Snake

Raven and Snake …by VJ Knutson

VJ's avatarOne Woman's Quest

That day, crossing the parking lot,
raven swooped past, snake in clasp –
I took it as a sign, hurried my steps.

The ward nurse stopped me,
revealed the end was near,
appointed me bearer of news.

Me, whom you loved to hate –
lashed with brash comments,
unforgiving of my youth.

Unsurprising, your wrath,
and then the threats –
to be cut from your will

Deeply ingrained the need
to hate, to blame – lawyer
didn’t comply, I remained

Represented you in death,
sorry for a life of lies ,
how often you had to pretend

to love men,
to not be lonely,
that alcohol solved all

Miss you even now –
your caustic presence
irreplaceable, left a hole.

Don’t regret finding you,
getting help, staying
bedside as death knocked.

You’d do the same –
intrinsically linked,
the raven and the snake.
