Waiting

I feel him watching
He's near
I Listen for his laughter

I sense him.  Laughing with friends
He caught my eye
Winked
Eyes glittering.

My memories tickle
as I remember 
burying my nose
in his coat
Smelling the cologne
as it hovers
wrapping around me

His gentle hands
Speak of 
Feather touches
Promises

I'm waiting.


I really like this site for the possibilities.  The Montana Historical Society has old photographs sometimes on display.  I think some of them would make wonderful visual prompts for poetry and prose.  

From Every Day Poems on Facebook

"Can you find a poem in this photo? If I were to find one, it might be in the woman's stance, or perhaps from an imagined figure in the air above her, or maybe in the folds of that voluminous skirt.

Share your poem, or a link to it, right here in this comment box, so we can easily find it and celebrate each other's words..."

Jigsaw Pieces - Finding Poems

Jigsaw Pieces


Memories

They've started to spill out
 
I remember bits and pieces.

Puzzle pieces
Spilling from the box.

Fear hiding in twilights' shadows

I see them in black and white.
Jig saw pieces.

I hear snippets.

The day is done
Gone the sun

Trying to fit the pieces together.


What do you do 
when fear is killing you?



More pieces spilling 
onto the table.

The day is done
Gone the sun

Twilight memories

I remember singing taps.

The day is done
Gone the sun..

Leaving through the door
Running towards the light.

Scattered pieces.

Jigsaw pieces 
in black and white.



*I found the picture on Every Day Poems facebook page.  It is a picture prompt with the hope you will find a poem.

Finding Poems


Journey On

Signals
Whispers
I kissed her.
I sleep.
She journeys on.

I wake up.
My whole world has changed.
I glimpse
Wings
She journeys on.
Signals
Whispers.

I found this picture at Every Day Poems - The question was, could I find a poem in the photo?
