Gideon’s Challenge – Ripe

Ripe ApplesRipe

I want to
feel
your flesh
under my teeth
as I slick
my tongue
against
your skin
then
bite in deep
and
make you
mine

Gideon’s Challenge – Sunday Mood

Tortie Cat@FatMumSlim August #FMSPAD Challenge
Prompt for August 24th : Sunday Mood | #FMS_SUNDAYMOOD25

Sleepy morning
summer heat
and ac on the go
we linger on the bed
together
relaxing
while fan blows
knowing
sooner or later
we’ll have to
rise and shine
but taking a minute
right here and now
for some lazy time

Gideon’s Challenge – Cornfields are Creepy

Cornfields are CreepyCornfields are Creepy

Whether
too many
horror flicks
or just some
internal instinct
there’s something
about cornfields
that is creepy
and weird
disorienting
and terrifying
all at the same time
once the corn
has reached
great heights

Gideon’s Challenge – Scorch Marks

Apricot RosesScorch Marks

Anger
turns everything
ugly
from moments
to murmured words
from days
to faces
the emotion
singes the edges
of everything
creating
scorch marks
like blemishes
that turn
into scars

Gideon’s Challenge – Summer Skies

Summer SkiesSummer Skies

Blue skies
are boring
but proof exists
that summer skies
aren’t always blue
and as clouds
wander by
they seem
to stretch out
beyond our ken
and go on
forever
as they conspire
to take
your breath away

Gideon’s Challenge – Anxiety Attack

Deception Pass BridgeAnxiety Attack

Tangled up
in need
and overwhelm
as too many
things
come together
at once
and leave me
unable
to catch
my breath
as tears fall
like rain
