Things I'll Never Outgrow and Reading The Past

For Fireblossom Friday Lists

Things I'll Never Outgrow

dying Easter eggs
blowing bubbles
playing in mud puddles
coloring books
puppies
and toads

For Mama Zen Words Count  Power Image

Twenty-five words exactly.

Reading The Past

hundreds of years

or maybe centuries

passed

before the ground

gave up its secrets

we read their history

in stone

and bones

they left behind

Both for the prompt today at 

Imaginary Gardens With Real Toads 

Picture This...

Beneath the tranquil waters
Within the reflections
Life
Sometimes hides
A snake or two

Fireblossom Friday

Dark Winter

Peering through the ice
No one sees me
No one knows I'm gone

That happens when
You burn your bridges
Through life

Breaking all connections
Making bad choices
Again and again

Shamed to ask for help
I enter a plea of forgiveness
As my body waits for spring

Red Riding Hood: Exotic Dancer

A challenge from Fireblossom Friday:  Mash Up!  "Take a well-known character or actual person, and put them in a situation that no one has ever thought of putting them in before..."
I believe Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs had the idea first.  I just took it another direction.

Little Red Riding Hood: Exotic Dancer

Starring now
At Grandma's Place
Take a walk through the woods
Discover the surprises
Red Riding Hood holds
In Grandma's basket
Dancing with cape
And ax...
Certain to make
Any man howl!

I Met Another Me

She laughed often
Cried easily
Loved the days more

Following her dreams
She wore paint on her clothing
From masterpieces
Along with horse hair

Her journal was filled
With magic
Words
And sketches

Meeting her
She asked.
"Why not you?"
I could only cry
