I’ve sat here all day,
racking my brain;
with a prompt like this,
I may go insane.
But this is what I’ve been given,
words that will never inspire,
and I’m feeling quite desperate,
might need to conspire.

Writing prompt: Redneck Rodeo and Pink posies
We can sum up our feelings
with those three little words,
but it’s the longing beneath them
that always moves me to tears.
I notice every endearing detail
in everything you say,
and it makes my heart beat
in an entirely different way.
The tone of your devoted words
leaves me dancing to their tune,
and I’m in love all over again
as morning fades to afternoon.

Daily prompt 3, courtesy of my hubby: Morning messages
He’s been thinking
about that one girl,
that pretty little gal
he used to know.
She’d pour his drinks
n work out his kinks
because she loved him so.
Her name was plain ol Mabel,
though, to most,
she was just a fable.
But good boy Johnny,
more skinny than brawny,
he’s never forgotten those eyes.
Once Mabel got started,
there was no departin;
he’d just get lost
in those long-legged thighs.
She was that one girl,
the one who made his head swirl,
always full of surprise.

Poetry prompt: I’ve sort of been in a slump lately when it comes to writing and decided to ask my hubby to start giving me daily prompts. This is day 2… Road radio blues.
There are friends,
and then there are friends.
Some will stay close like brothers;
others will come and go like the wind.
But all of them will have a special purpose.
Some will come to fill the dark places with light;
others will help mend our broken pieces.
One thing is certain; none will ever be forgotten.
Each one leaves an everlasting imprint,
deeply embedded and revered.
Remaining forevermore,
within our hearts and minds.

Come play with me
Spend the whole day
We’ll find adventures
I’ll show you the way
Come play with me
We’ll have plenty to do
A fun day to share
Just me and you
Come play with me
Give me your hand
Let’s race to the moon
I know you’ll understand
Come play with me
There’s a secret place I know
A traipse through the forest
Is where we’ll have to go
Come play with me
Through the trees to the sea
The sound of the waves
Is sure to set you free
Come play with me
We’ll have so much fun
Let’s get going
Before the day is done
