A face carved for fear; a mask of orange flesh illuminated to protect from evil, inhabitants here hidden, on tender hooks, waiting. This simple orange visage, fanged, eyebrows raised up (an orange head poised to at demons shout, holler; come from a field of brethren grown there, as one raised for purpose singular). Blaze orange….

Tuesday Tunes – Poetry Through Music, #28, 2015
[Image from getthefive.com] [Inspired by The Oh Hellos “Pale White Horse”:] The door was open, this one (not the other, the one that should have remained shut, locked, hidden under tangled, thorny vines of past, of history and due silence). She was frozen, undecided; terrified by the chips of paint and wood scattered by her…
Sunday Sonnet [On A Monday, Semi-Rhyme Scheme Inclusive], #17, 2015
[Image from Pinterest] It crept up on her, shadow like – the doubt, the questioning of direction. Acid to the mind, the soul. Bitter lemons and sour plums of thought to chew over; spit out in disgust at loss of self, not a pout but a grimace at her face, eyes she hid in lowered…
Tuesday Tunes – Poetry Through Music, #27, 2015
[Image from Fantasticpictures4u] [Inspired by Enigma’s “Sadeness” (Part One, Extended Trance Mix:] What had she done? Lunacy, it had overcome her in a moment, too short for excuse; all thoughts dammed up let loose – too many to make sense to any mind, let alone his. Should have held her tongue, instead knocked him for six…
Sunday Sonnet [Again on a Monday, Again Without Rhyme Scheme], #16, 2015
Simple, bound constructs of arranged words, but they were his friends, almost. This one, it had awoken his mind to life’s possibilities, pathways of choice illuminated in a phrase, a chapter, one of three epic parts; that one, it was a diary not his own, which still spoke his innermost thoughts (that break up, the…
Tuesday Tunes – Poetry Through Music, #26, 2015
[Image by Leon Levinstein] [Inspired by Lawrence Taylor’s “Chains”:] He’d never been much good at interpreting a look, a tone of voice, always failed as translator of human interaction – until her. With her he evolved to bear an artist’s eye. Whole landscapes could be imagined just by looking at her face, a face perfect for painting;…
Sunday Sonnet [On A Monday, Sans Rhyme Scheme], #15, 2015
[Image from Mapsart] She didn’t know when he would be stopping by again. It felt an age since last he had bothered to visit, but then again she could be wrong – her mind wasn’t what it used to be. Her face alone reminded her of that fact each morning, each night, framed by grey…
Tuesday Tunes – Poetry Through Music, #25, 2015
[Image from webdesigncore.com] [Inspired by James Horner’s “Arabesque” from the late composer’s “Pas de deux”:] Rain, again, but its news always welcome, bringing tales drifted from afar, falling, nourishing, first words heard in a drop that ripples out, its conclusion always missed. Yet, a pluvial arrival heralds cleansing, too. Washes away past, present; clears a space for tomorrow…

http://www.spreaditfast.com/articles/autumn-fashion-ideas-for-the-return-to-the-school-gates#.VhK6i_m6fIU The school run is a rather dividing activity. There are those that fall firmly into the “as long as my child gets to school on time and fully equipped, then who cares what I look like” camp. Then, there are those that put a little more than minimal effort into that “casual distressed” look…
