Opposition

By
i want to be witty
i want to be fun
i seek pettiness and shallow pools.
at the same time...
i ache for depth,meaning,substance.
how is that my yin wants the now, the fleeting, the temporal
and my yang needs something less tangible, less primal
or is it really primal impulses that seek to override the now-now-now of modern minds
i confuse myself:
is it my animal nature that craves instant satisfaction
or my animal instincts that drive me to demand more ...
meaning, affection, reciprocity, stability
are my piacular acts a means to an end
or a means to a beginning?
where do i want the road to lead?
who walks alongside me?

Ostrich

By
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.

thirsty darkness

By
She  stood aloof nothing stood in the way of her purpose. buffeted by the cool winter breeze, nothing stood but She had watched others fall to the whirr or tumble into thirsty darkness but she refused to let the world assign her pain. Her pain was her own. She stands calmly, patiently awaiting tomorrow. will it bring an end or another beginning? what use in new predictions? tomorrow we chase the yesterdays we did not catch today.  (again.) She will herald the end to nothingness by giving in to it and tumbling into thirsty darkness as winter blows itself away ...Prompted by the 100 Word Song writing challenge at  My Blog Can Beat up Your Blog .  T his week's track: Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down".
