It Beats in Perfect Time
WordPress Daily Prompt – Percussive Your soul is a percussive instrument, beating and vibrating, keeping time with the wants and needs bouncing through your mind. You’re projecting, sending pulsing signals out into the world with every move you make, vibrations in colored solar flares to tell every soul what you seek, what they can help…

I Can’t Keep Count
I almost didn’t post this because I feel like I’m getting kind of achy breaky hearty in my writing lately. I had a moment of “I should be more … positive, upbeat, happy, candle-lit dinners and walk on the beachy … whatever” but then I thought “no, this is what came out, this is what it…

Street of Dreams
WordPress Daily Prompt – Dubious I don’t know that I’ll ever understand Why I do this to myself. I know where this path leads, This dubious street filled with dreams.

Millie’s Gone
WordPress Daily Prompt – Fraud Moira packed each picture away carefully. Eventually Levee Harolds family would want some things but boxes of wedding pictures featuring his soon to be missing widow? Those weren’t likely to be the best souvenirs of his life. There would be some story about sweet Moira Harolds spinning out of control…

When Time Was Elastic
WordPress Daily Prompt – Elastic When time was elastic, Stretched between two points Like a rubber band straining To hold a twig from snapping in two, We jumped here and there. Moving choices, Changing voices, Then the band snapped; Trapping us in strange places Where skies are blue, Unless they’re grey, And memories of When…
