glimmer of hope
glows within childlike hearts
pure innocence
pure innocence
destroyed- with fatal attacks
nine-eleven
impartial judgement
only
in the after life

menacing clouds burst
rampant river overflows
old dam gives in
like grandpa`s old sweater
unravels on his portly chest

Society’s facade
developing countries’ tastes
linger unkindly
survival of the fittest
toxic metallic flavour

let go and be
love offers optimal light
quest of truth and compassion
beware of deceit
polished gems attract the weak
humility shines

tiny grey mouse
scurries off in the field
nervous as can be
long-haired tomcat
lazily opens one eye
puzzled as can be
mouse sighs
maternal love for her lump
relieved as can be

Spiders and frogs
threaten lives of flies buzzing
killing them dead
but only if hungry,
never killing for sport
killing for sport
cruel deeds of a species
such cruel human games

Mom’s on the phone
tots deeply absorbed in fun
frantic clean-up

puddles of misery
youths reach out

open to change
new options replace stale ways

Three Word Wednesday The word in this prompt are: Misery – Privilege – Stale
intimate yet free
sucking on sweet nectar
hums the bird
unquenched thirst
wings a blur with such flurry
another blossom
time to rest
jagged edge of fragile twig
hummingbird’s perch
