They’re not
just pretty words
Your words
are a melody
or a fragrance
on the breeze
Your words
set me free
so I can dance
with the sea
or ride wild dragons
Your words
transport me
magically
And I go
willingly
eagerly
because I know
that what awaits
will be the magic
promised through
your words

*Inspired by a beautiful poem by Chuck, over at the Reluctant Poet.
It’s nothing but
a few simple lines
Words you’ve
strung together
They seem innocent
without depth
to the non-discerning
eye
But to me
you have painted
a tapestry
a masterpiece
for the senses
With your words
I experience
your world
The textures and
colors come to life
The words
are transformed
into your voice
your whispers
and yes
even your touch
With a few simple lines

*This was inspired by my Dear Friend Chuck over at The Reluctant Poet. His “seeds of inspiration” was all I needed to write this. Thank you, Chuck, for your kindness and encouragement. Big ‘Ole Hugs! ❤
Materializing from the darkness of a hollowing sadness Insistent and desperate This lifeless labyrinth born of an aching emptiness The broken pieces you left behind To seek the light Copyright (C) 2021 Penny Wilson Image by Free-Photos from Pixabay *I know this is quite dark. I was having a hard time finding inspiration. For a prompt, I pulled out a book, opened it and just started writing down words or phrases that caught my eye. This poem is what came from that. hmmmm...
A warm summer rain Wrapped in your arms with nowhere to go For just this moment it’s only us with the storm and the world outside It’s time well wasted Copyright © 2021 Penny Wilson Image by Анита Морган from Pixabay https://www.napowrimo.net/
those places in my heart the empty spaces I look beyond the clutter of today sifting yesterday's dreams those never quite formed looking to make solid what was but mist Copyright (C) 2021 Penny Wilson
“You like me! You really, really like me!”
I don’t think that sweet Sally Fields ever lived down those words.
Thank You, to everyone that took time to visit my blog and like something that you saw here. I appreciate it so much!
Years ago when I first started this blog, I had no idea how big of a part in my life this blog would play. It’s become not only a place to express myself, but also a place I can come to and always be welcomed. It’s a place where I can check in with friends that I’ve made here. It’s also a place where I can discover new talent and make new friends.
My time here has been rewarding in ways that I never imagined. Thank you for being here for me and for joining me on this journey! Penny

My participation in the #NaPoWrMo (National Poetry Writer’s Month) has been out of step with everyone else. I did the Sneak Peek prompt, thinking that participation would begin the following day, the 1st day of April. But it did not, it started That Day, April 30th. This put my whole way of posting off.
I usually do my writing and then plan on posting it the next day. I write when I can. If I have 20 minutes of downtime at work, that’s when I’ll write. If it’s at 9pm, after my day is done, That’s when I write. I rarely write and post what I write on the same day. Today will be an exception.
I will more than likely participate very little or not at all in NaPoWriMo on the weekends.
If you are interested in participating in NaPoWriMo, go HERE to check out the information. Have fun!

Dear Yesterday,
I know this is but a fool’s hope.
I look for the piece
of heart
you devoured
and spit back
at me.
I hear
the narrative
in my head
on an endless loop,
slurred
as I try to justify
your reckless intentions.

Go HERE if you would like to join in on the fun of NaPoWriMo!
Off playing your harp.
Your obligation
a distant memory.
Keep your day job,
Missy.
My muse
of Poetry
just a faint
sketch with no
substance.

Where a little insanity goes a long way
the reverberation of a hidden well...freed.
I write about Passion. Sex. Love. Pain. Darkness. All of it.
um...
Where I share my jewels of wisdom of life
