I don’t make wishes anymore.
They float away.
Unrestrained
Clutching the earth
Sinking teeth into dirt
Sprouting into monsters
Once held in captivity
Now wild and rampant
Behold the weeds of my iniquity.

Watch out for weeds, Paula! They’ll encroach and won’t ever begone. Clingy and needy little rascals! 🌱

One of my favorites! I also learned something new. You certainly turned the idea of ‘making a wish’ upside down, and that’s a good thing.

Hey Morgaine! 😆
Those silly dinosaurs just don’t get that they’re extinct. So good to see you, too! 💗 I tried following you again, but your site isn’t recognizing my email. Fiddlesticks!!

I’ve had the same problem with a lot of blogs that I have been following for the last few months. If I click the wordpress icon under the reply box which lets me sign in (for the millionth time!), it usually lets me reply or like. Or if I click the part of the url that allows pop-ups, I can like or reply. Technology-aaarrrgggh! 😀

Reblogged this on Mitch Teemley and commented:
My Featured Blogger this week is Rose Perez of Poet Rummager. Rose, who sell collectibles and art online, often finds things that, as she puts it, “have hilarious and, at times, dark stories to tell.” And finding these poetical prompts too “thrilling (and) creatively random” to ignore, she simply has to tell their stories.

Wow, This little poem socked me right in the kisser. I read sins and I read regrets, and I relate quite deeply. Great including the Bible verse. How good to know that God will also forgive these sins of ours.
I hope you are , and I hope , and I hope you are still writing
