Hello Wild walk writers

A big beautiful apple, taken from the tree in my garden. Red, juicy, and perfectly tart.

One by one they go
Marching to an unheard tune
Ballad of the ants

I gave up on alcohol
My drinks were always spiked
With undertones of despair
Making for a rough night

Not to mention the mornings
After the party was over
Left feeling inadequate
Slowly going nowhere

They call me a nut
So I grow into an oak
Just to spite them all

Hello Wild walk writers

A very shiny acorn on the floor,
I'm surprised the squirrels haven't eaten it yet...
Maybe this one will grow.

She is always just out of sight
A glimpse in the corner of my eye
A shadow passing by

At the edge of consciousness
A flash of a memory
Forever she haunts me

This shade of who I was
And I try to leave behind
Eternally on the edge of mind

From previous posts I now know what a conker is, but I’m still laughing! 🥔🥔🥔

He was the black sheep of the family, even more than Beelzebub. At least they talked about him. No one knew of the angel Lumen. A name so befitting as it means “a measure of light” or “the cavity in a tubular organ.” When he bent over the sun did shine from his ass.

Hello Wild walk writers

Thought this was holly at first, but it's very early fruiting, and has no spikes so I'm not sure...

This one was really fun to read. Great rhythm and silliness

I wake up and look to see
What writing prompts
Might inspire me

The words elude
I might give up
But my coffee is brewed

I drink two cups
And eat some cake
Then start the write ups
The difference of coffee and cake.

Sunlight makes shadow
A temporary prison

We were searching the depths of the universe for some #sublime being. Something to give our measly lives meaning. Someone to say “We understand, you’re not alone in this.” All we ever found was single celled organisms. Realizing we were the sublime beings was the start of our downfall.

Standing on the bridge
A giddiness overwhelms
My thoughts do propel
Out over the edge
Into another realm
Feeling quite compelled
To take the leap of faith
But my body does rebel
Freedom is withheld

Wrapped in my raincoat
To dance in a grey deluge
Splashing pastel hues

Every year a little worse
The noises from my knee
Starting as a random click
It worsened progressively
Sounding like a ratchet strap
The answer was surgery
And that was how it started
Now I’m changing bionically
What parts can I replace
To make a better me

In the small, hidden spaces
Where imagination thrived
The warm and safe places
Where I felt alive
Held apart from angry faces
My dreams could still survive
From behind the bookcases
Violence ruled the other side
But my reality erases
When I went to hide

Wrapped in leather
Fatigued beyond measure
A wild night
Of verve and delight
Oeuvre completed
My creativity depleted
Where do I go from here?

I love this but loathe the feeling of only being a visitor, observer of my life. Great write 🥔🥔🥔
