Free verse – Lust – SD

June 24 Theme: The Second Sin

Burning Soul I
Sometimes I hate the world
And everyone in it,
But I hate to hate

Different beliefs, or testaments. Continue reading “Free Verse – Greed – SD”

June 10 Theme: Thinking about Thinking
I hope everyone enjoyed our collective trip down memory lane yesterday. Nostalgia is, after all, delicate.
For next week’s theme, we’re dropping the sentimental reflections for existential pondering. Continue reading “June 10 Theme: Thinking about Thinking”
Spenserian Sonnet – Nostalgia – SD
“Fun in the Sun”
Dawn’s yellow light floods into the room.
Early morning sparrows are greeting the day.
Glistening grass still covered in dew,
Jumping out of bed to go out and play. Continue reading “Spenserian Sonnet – Nostalgia – SD”
