Survival, Of

Writers Island chose these prompts: “Triumph” and “Survivor”. I felt like experimenting. Written 04/22/08 by MeeAugraphie.

 

Survival, Of

Survive to conquer

hear the rousting cheers

Survive to coexist

hear heartbeats quicken

Which is the more triumphant?
Where will you be?

I have made my choice

Give and take, take and give

You have made yours

command and rule, rule and command.

See ‘ya.



Dare I? - Writers Island

April 15, 2008 | Filed Under NaPoWriMo, Photo, Poetry, Writers Island | 4 Comments 

Seattle skyline abstractedDare I?

Abstracted world
stands a bit askew
for
monoliths of strength
hide giants teetering
while
highlighted vision
foretells blaring obsession
as
ominous sky
grounds flight of fancy
for all
but those who dare….

Tempered Destiny - Writers Island

March 10, 2008 | Filed Under Poetry, Writers Island | 6 Comments 

Writers Island’s prompts were Destiny and Rising, I chose the latter… rising temper was the first thing I thought of. I know… so many other choices!

Temper

Her mood,
once ebbed,
rose to meet his
and
cyclone met hurricane
though no rain fell
for the inflamed
tempers evaporated it
before it fell…

Hot time in the old town tonight
though no mud was slung.

Perhaps, tomorrow,
rain will return to mix with
the fallout
and mudslinging can resume

as normal

OOPS, I could not resist trying the other prompt…

Destiny

Your destiny is not mine
unless I so choose to create my own

as a clone of yours
and though yours might seem enticing
to the naked eye,
what I can create on my own
is more enticing to my heart.
