from
Under The Porch Light. Today she gave us two sets of six words to inspire our creativity and include them in a creative work of sorts. I thought, why not? Then I couldn't just use six! I had to include them all. I don't follow instructions well. Thanks, Delores, for the fun prompt.
PRAYING FOR A HERO
Creeping
invisible
with an
impending
sense of
gallows doom
One
silver tear
sliding down
merely a
flicker
across her
chiseled face
beauty unmarred
Quieting
irregular breathing
she scanned the
desolate
arid landscape
expecting trouble
Praying for a hero
