Thirst

This week's One Single Impression prompt was "Thirst". Here are a couple of takes...

Summer's end

Dry ghosts whispering
through tall yellowing tassels
of late summer corn


Parched

loneliness baking
cracks deep into my landscape.
i persist here, parched

Romance?

An offering for this weeks One Single Impression:

Romance?

Plucking petals off

:He loves me: :He loves me not:

Don't trust the daisy...

Daisy's Point of View

Could have told you I

had an even number of petals!

He loves you not!

Breather

Breather

coming up for air
too long spent resolutely
drowning:(sky's so blue!)

wash:rinse:repeat

waves against the shore
muffle the sound of endless
fights i never win

spinning

always spinning 'round
will i? won't i? does he?: [trapped]
by my foolish mind

Stranger

Something for the "One Single Impression" Prompt:

bloodshot eyes staring
back from the shop window pane:
can this be my face?

And then some random ones...

lines blurring wildly
crossed, recrossed, left far behind
ghosts of mistakes past

I
want
my life
exploding with light
purpose shining from within
brilliant, bold, boisterous, brave, beautiful, buoyant
let me die knowing truly
that i faced each day
fearless
loved
kind
