Why Not?

/ Liz H-H / 11 Comments

Feeling blocked and threatened? It’s right there, in our hands, the answer we used to believe in. Not big things, but small. Let it begin with me…

WHY NOT?

When we gaze ahead
Haze occludes our safe passage
You’re the magic key

Now is the moment
Open our eyes and our hearts
Time waits for no one

Single Syllable P

I could pick up the pace, pack my portfolio with poor-to-middling products. But I’m feeling peckish, so will instead toast some bread and fill its pocks with creamy butter. Delay the puck of promise, a hockey shot to the gut that reminds me: I swore to write every day this month on these prompted challenges.

Thus reminded, I brew me more Joe, grab the blanket, and here I go…

One-Liner Wednesday: Be Colorful

/ Liz H-H / 2 Comments

Be Colorful

My li’l rebellious self
Chooses colors of the nose
Instead of focusing on the eyes
I offer you instead
Perfumes of butter, brown sugar,
Eggs and flour
Sourdough    bananas
Cinnamon     Nutmeg and Honey
Chocolate     cranberries      pecans
Slow baking and sensual
Close your eyes and inhale
Warm from my oven
To your palate

Embrace the Morning

/ Liz H-H / 7 Comments

Every morning’s a wakeup call
My wakeup call to get busy and go
Bust out the coffee, bounce off the walls
Right now I’m having a wakeup call
And I do wake up, but I cannot go
Cat’s trapped me beneath, though my hunger grows
Even so, can’t push him off:  the kitty purrs No.
