WISH

I wish I could fly 

Far away from here and now 

To where there's no fear

That's what love's supposed to be

It's time to bury

The dead. Just make sure they are...

Actually dead.

ALL EATEN (Day 18 - Pick 2 vowels)

Apples, peaches, grapes

Bananas, a strawberry

All eaten by me

Caren E. Salas

The prompt today was a challenge: I could pick 2 vowels, and then write a poem using only those vowels. I chose A and E. I figured I'd better stick with a shorter form so I wrote a haiku.  It's off my "theme", but what the heck, it was this or zombie moans and groans; and there are too many different vowels in the words zombie, and undead. 

LIES (Day 14 - honesty/dishonesty)

Were you infected?
No, she said, and shook her head.
I knew she had lied.

The news on the radio
So sad he was gone.

Alone #23

Alone and asleep
Trusting I'll be looked after
By angels and dreams.

To a baby girl?

Caren E. Salas

Prompt #21 Choose "direction on a compass" to write about. No particular direction came to mind. Just a little girl's name...

Holy Cow! #15

Holy cow! She said

As she watched the band perform

"We will remember"

Caren E. Salas

I know November is already over, but I'm still determined to finish the Poem a Day prompts, even though it's more like a poem every few days, haha, #15 prompt (wow, I only got through half, how sad.) was "holy ____" . I couldn't think of a thing at first, but then I was watching a video of my daughter's band performing a beautiful, touching and patriotic field show, "We Will Remember". The band had just done a spectacular visual and a woman in the crowd cried out "Holy Cow!". There were really not a lot of words to describe the feelings that overwhelmed the crowd. So I thought, I should do a haiku, because the form is perfect for when you have a lot to say, but don't need a lot of words to say it.

When - Day 11

Old man, old woman

Holding hands remembering

When they fell in love.

Caren E. Salas

Day 11 Prompt: write a "Timely", or a "Timeless".  I went with Timeless...and haiku.   My in-laws on the 60th wedding anniversary. (Next February it will be 65!)

the Sea

The sea blows kisses

As I walk along the shore

Like a lost lover.

Caren E. Salas

Summer Love

Palm trees, sunset glow

Sea, sand and warm summer nights

You and I dreaming

Day 24 of April PAD : a poem about love.

Sci-Fi

Funny little men

With large black almond-shaped eyes

Came from outer space

Caren E. Salas


Day 17 of April PAD, prompt: a science-fiction/fantasy poem. Normally this would be a no brainer, but lately my "brainer" has been pre-occupied with being, well, sick :(  So I kept it simple, and went with a haiku.

Palms

Reaching to the sky

Fronds waving in the breezes

California palms

Caren E. Salas

Day 10 of April PAD, prompt: a poem about a tree or forest. I decided to go "haiku" on this one.  :)

One More (Day 11 - a "maybe" poem)

One more, just maybe

One more leap of faith and trust

Then no more chances.

Caren E. Salas

 

Day 10: A Love Poem

At my worst moments

He's always there loving me

And holding my hand.
