Interlude

Stumbling through life, naïve and crude,
I manage to grasp an interlude
From personal simplicity.
Here now I am, my mind now free.
Open door now to my cage,
Which never shall gain be the stage
For my span.  Shift I now another gear;
My souls immobilized by fear.
Cant stay here or grab my case
Of innocence once commonplace
But now so square.  This World of Sphere
Leaveth no room to store such here.
Without an aid or worldly lesson,
I seek new personal possession
Of the mind.  Captivate the brain
(Imperative if you remain)
Within this realm).  Reality
Prompts horror.  Paradoxically,
Loud minds produce quiet and calm
From leg to leg, arm to arm.

Ostrich

Too afraid to stand and fight; Too much pride to fly away. Cowardice: immobilize Egos lacking skill to play! Games of conflict can’t be played By those afraid to deal a hand. Flightless birds avoid their call Ostriching heads in the sand.  Thanks, Trifecta for the prompt, which requested an animal name be used as a verb. I figured I might as well ignore the dictionary and make my own...flightless birds have always intrigued me, anyhow.

Masquerade

I suppose I should feel fortunate. I've been with the same man for six years, I've worked for the same company for nine years, I've lived in the same state for ten years. But my college diploma says "English" and my job screams "Business" and I fear that this life I’ve built is Stagnation masquerading as Stability. I’m not planning on doing something drastic like running off to join the circus or the Scientologists or anything, but maybe I should just stop planning for a change. Stop standing still. Do something spontaneous. I am too young to feel this old. --- Thanks for the 100 Word Song prompt, Lance (of My Blog Can Beat Up Your Blog ). This brief introspection was inspired by Elvis Costello's "Brilliant Mistake".

Hunger strikes

I'm feeling creative but needing direction. Haiku Heights prompts writers to ponder LUNCH (a topic that is never far from my mind). i. hunger's open mouth devours all self control; succumb to more cake. ii. enhance your days with salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, sage. settle not for bland. iii. closed eyes, open mouth there is joy in the unseen. tastebuds, awaken!
