Lipstick vibrancy
gone withered
and bowed
as the spring
sips at youth
and uses
that sweet nectar
to grow
greater things
than early tulips
and as roses
replace crocus
summer’s heat
begins to grow
creative writing
Weekly Creativity Prompt – Music Lovers
Prompt: “Have you ever listened to a song and suddenly realized “This song is such a Tower/Emperor/Hanged Man song!”?

Gideon’s Challenge
A gift of vibrancy
and bright cheer
sits on the table
very near
and every day
upon my waking
they say hello
and ease the aching
of darkness’ reach
and chronic pain
when sunny flowers
say hello again
thank you, my friend
for the beautiful and uplifting gift
even if you never see this
my appreciation knows no bounds

Gideon’s Challenge
Self care comes
in many forms
with yogurt
made with real fruit
and no additives
with vitamins
for nutrition
with advice given
in the sweet whisper
spirit guide’s voices
through imagery
on paper cards
and uplifting
messages
within the glow
of soft morning light
