Arcane #conundrum
writers working within
the sprinkles of time
a songlike riff
of rhythm
and the unfettered
dance of rhyme
Puzzle of words
in search
of the sublime

My last prompt, it has been a joy!
Thank you, Writers, and friends!

Words luminesce
drifting through the shadows
seeking the freedom
of the pen
At last
they begin to #sublimate
in the nether
Ice melts
on thin revetments
and drips
into the when

Good morning writers and friends.. We all hide some of what we feel.

Form is changed, maybe, But not essence...

as the margins
of #eventuality widen
with whole body
she holds on
to the moment
keeping watch
& fighting off torpor

#sonorous thoughts scatter
sleep draws her in
taking her
to the shore
of nothingness
or the bank
of plenitude

cellars or suns
#perhaps
will call her home
