6 word challenge
Words. I love words I saw this competition on Angel’s blog, the closing date is tonight. I have wanted to write a story for ages, in fact I have one in my head. So I decided to write the opening for my story for the competition. You only have 250 words which is really hard. I have not written fiction since I was at school so this was quite a challenge,...
Hope
Hope is an evil little 4 letter word. I know a lot of you are going to disagree with me when you read this and that is okay. At least my friend Heather understands.
The wikipedia definition: Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one’s life. Hope is the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will...
What is love
What colour is love?
is it pink and red and pretty?
or is it kaleidoscopy of light and dark, multifaceted, sometimes just a translucent glow
What does love sound like?
is it beautiful words, a sigh, a low passionate moan?
or is it the sound of a quickening heart
What does love taste like?
is it sweet and sensual like ripe strawberries?
or is it the moment...
I will wait
I have not written fridge magnet poetry in a while but this one happened this morning when getting the milk out for the kids breakfast.
I will wait
In silent depths
At the edge of a promise
my soul must rest
learning the art of solitude
let the sadness be,
walk, lie, rise with it.
The fragile whisper of...
Surprises
I got a card from a friend in the post. I hardly ever get post anymore, not the nice kind anyway. It was actually quite nice to open and enverlope and see the surprise inside. I love surprises. My mom and my ex are both very bad at surprises they told me before hand about my surprise kitchen tea party! I know it is practical to ask me before what gifts I...
My weird life just got weirder
Just when I thought things could not possibly be any stranger than they are, they get more weird. People ask weird stuff, do the unexpected or do nothing at all. I am left feeling like a spectator in a movie. Well I was even told something I said sounded like a line out of a movie. I am just going with the moments for now. Experiences and living in the...
Lists, Rules and Requirements for the ideal man – Just make me happy
Years ago I remember sitting in Tings n Times with my sister. I had just come back from a fantastic time living and working in Switzerland and the UK for a year and then touring all around Europe for 6 weeks. Sarah and I were discussing what I wanted in a man and she drew a picture and had all these attributes around it. I wish I could find that picture...
Questions
I wrote this fridge magnet poem last night when I was feeling particularly emo, I really hate feeling like that. It is really not me at all. I like to be funny, happy, flirting, joking and laughing or quiet and contently relaxed. I don’t do angstig very well. But today the world seems better, I guess it is in moment like last night that you have to...
The Invitation; By Oriah Mountain Dreamer (A native American Indian)
(I like this poem and found it while looking for something totally different, but I thought I would share it as this week the fridge magnets are silent.)
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for,
and if you dare to dream of meeting in your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are.
I...
Eyes
This weeks fridge magnet poetry is inspired by a conversation at a party on the weekend. I was asked what the one things is I look at first in a guy, I said eyes. This was not the answer he was looking for and said that most girls said hand, well really dude I have pink hair does it look like I do what most people do?!? He asked why eyes and I said because...
