Earn Eternity

Ephemeral though life is,
this seems an early end.
I cannot evade death.
Ejected from my body,
my essence ebbs away.

Please, return me to earth.
I'll return enhanced and
aim to erase my errors,
or ease their ill effects.
Let me earn eternal embrace.

Death of a Queen

The Vengeful King

"An eye for eye!"

the great king cried.

My queen has died.

Now, how shall I

punish this crime?

None can compare

to my lady fair

whose lustrous hair

fluttered in air.

Who would have dared

to leave her there?

Killers beware

I'll find your lair

and have you snared.

Revenge, I swear.

Killing the guy

who did the crime

will satisfy

my wish to find

justice this time.

The Peaceful King

I know that an eye for an eye,

will only make the whole world blind.

Revenge will not help me to find

relief or any peace of mind.

No one will ever replace

her gentle, sweet, smiling face.

But now I must show some grace

and refuse to become base.

I can show others the way

if I correctly display

how to handle this sad day.

May her soul find peace, I pray.

I felt like writing on both sides of the prompt. Personally, I hope for the second outcome.

Maybe we should elope...


On Sunday, I accompanied my college roommate to the Southern Bridal Show. So many brides. So many vendors. So many decisions. I wanted a nap after, and I'm not even the one getting married!

Evil Twin

Hello fabulous morning.
I enjoy winter here
in my mountain home.
Make some coffee, 
feed the cat.

Sit at my wonderful desk.
It's square and metallic.
All my furniture
is nicely square.
What to do?

I've made no plans for today;
they only get in the way.


For lunch I can jump in my
sexy hummer, and drive
to get a burger:
mustard, onions,
tomatoes.

Probably they'll be lacking
something I want to eat.
Always say, "Sorry,
sir, we are out."
Bunch of jerks.

Maybe instead I will try 
the trendy cafe on Dry.



The idea of the prompt was to write a poem from someone with opposite preferences. The twin's not really evil, but he certainly isn't very much like me.
Thanks to this week's Poetry Tow Truck for the prompt.

Who am I?

I am more than words can describe,

yet I can't find any good words to write.

I love circles, blue, rubber duckies, and friends.

I believe in conservation education.

My poetry expresses my thoughts and wants

but can be fiction, a story I thought up once.

Hopefully I can inspire others

to love and protect the Earth Mother,

to want know more about biology,

and maybe to create their own poetry.

Write what comes out based on the prompt and just post it. 

You can always clean it up later.

Sirens' Song

No man is immune
to the sirens' song.
While love seems to
radiate from the shore,
hearts and ships are
dashed on the rocks and
drenched in the sea.
