the empty wine glass -

a tale of evening longing

to rest in dream's lore

❧✿❧

the empty wine glass

stands forlorn empty of cheer -

some tears mingled in

a tale of evening longing -

her ruby lips pout

her broken heart weeps

to rest in dream's lore

the colours of sunset wanes -

she denies this day

Poets and Storytellers United
Weekly Scribblings #30: Writing as a Metaphor for Living
prompted by Magaly


DAY TO DAY
Each stanza of a poem applauds allusion,
For what is poetry, if not to be slowly savored
Like cherries plucked from an aged prickly tree
Long after the curtain comes down heavy, soft,
Silent, in velvet folds of meticulous grammar;
Call it fiction, for it becomes the stuff of dreamers,
No one wants the responsibility of reality;
The conflict is too great, the mood not right
For dying stars in dawn's pace of morning's rhythm
Edit the plot from dirge to sonnet where conflict
Of lovers and passion refuse the prose of politics
Word by word, step by step, day to day it's punctuation

Today, squash and pumpkins are grown all over the world, and are wildly popular in many Eastern European countries...

...Every part of the squash plant can be eaten, including the leaves and tender shoots, which can be cooked in omelets or made into soup...

...In a queer little bamboo house in front of a big garden lived a man and his wife all alone. They had always been kind and good to everyone, but still they were not happy, because the child for which they longed had never come to them. Each day for many years they had prayed for a son or a daughter, but their prayers had been unanswered. Now that they were growing old they believed that they must always live alone.In the garden near their house this couple grew fine white squash...
