All my belongings

All things I have
All those
That belong to me
are dear to me

they add value
to me
and my worth
for everyone to see

if these possessions
are not me
what would I lose
if I lost these?

if they are lost
all that will remain
alas
would only be me

And if I actually
lost all these
will I not be
so very free

and when I lose all
and only I am left
wouldn’t it be enough
to be just me

Oracle – Tanka Tuesday

Crystal clear

Colleen has crafted a challenge to write an acrostic poem with a syllable count of 8, 9, or 10 syllables per line or a mixture of these syllable counts, and our choice of words are: MAGICAL, CHARM, SPECTRE, FANTASY, CONJURE, UNICORN, IMAGINATION, ORACLE, or MALEVOLENCE.

I am drawn to the word ORACLE

Now I don’t have a choice

I have used a combination of 8, 9 and 10 syllables, in that order

Here goes…..

Opening and unravelling

Revealing the moments yet to come

Always the stark truth and never to please

Clear as a pure crystal it speaks

Lo behold – hear for what I am shown

Eyes of divine is there for me to see

Five word challenge

simple | level | crumb | fortune| solvent

William was way below the conservative solvent levels. The colony was near starvation. The queen needed to be saved. Any little crumb of food was a fortune for the colony. He was on a simple mission today. Get food or perish.
He emerged from the burrows in the hill they had created. He narrowed his eyes to improve his limited vision.
he was their only hope.
The beak clipped on his torso.
His mission was history.
He could find food.
He was the food.
For the valiant ant of William’s stature, it was the shortest and most unremarkable story

It ain’t big, but its everything

Little hands
Holds the world
it ain’t big
But then it’s everything

It brings smile
On his lips
And it smiles
Right back on him

There lies
In those eyes
All the joy
The world can bring

It’s immense
Beyond words
Unmeasurable
That feeling

And I hold
The infinite in my hand
it ain’t big
But then it’s everything
