Writers Island " impulse"

Writers Island prompt is Impulse
Rare

It was nothing ordinary

With giggles

And gropes

Frozen moments of

Immeasurable hopes

Girlish fantasy

Churning angst

Whirling with lust

Igniting passion

Prepared to combust

Over compensating

Inferior toil

Routine madness

Brick after brick

Compiled in sadness

Stolen kisses

A secret wish

She’d never implore

It was just an impulse

She'd want to ignore

Writers Island " Untamed Soul"

Photo by Bryan

After various snow warnings we finally got dumped on! Oh how I love the fluffy wonder of Snow! The cleanliness, the magic, the brightness!

Bryan snapped a photo of this jogger in spandex and labeled it "Perseverance " I thought it to be quite appropriate for todays post!

Writers Island Prompt for this week is "desire", which I already covered in the previous post, so I decided to write a poem about the persistence of desire!

Persistence

Desire leashes the untamed soul

Luring it to unfettered places

Wagering absolution

For the covert hedonist

Raunchily consumed by irrationality

Each moment of wanton

Flaming a larger craving

Until the cavernous charge

Seizes absolute control

Demanding execution

Torturing the impassioned

Cruelly tormenting

With baited envy

Compelling pleasure

To sully its stasis

Writers Island " Promise"

Writers Island Prompt "Promise"

The Promise

A promise tied in blood

Honoring

The nurture of our mother

The wisdom of our father

Who encouraged

Camaraderie

Compassion,

Unconditional love

Bonding a brother

And sister

In times of sorrow

Blunder and Ire

Passionately

We preserve

The legacy

Of the lovers

Upholding

Our family

Constitution

With devotion

To each other

And our progeny

Preserving tradition

Intimate conversation

Respect for individuality

Diverse solutions

During tribulations

While salvaging memories

We are reminded

Of the importance

Of protecting that bond

With reverence

The promise

Of love forever

No matter who

No matter what

Lives on

Writers Island Dream

Taken on Main Street in Vancouver on a rainy Thursday night. Just minutes away
scattered on the side streets the homeless carry their dead dreams anesthetized by drugs and alcohol.

This weeks prompt for writers Island " The Dream"

Resilient Dream

A Dead dream haunts the soul

Dormant amongst decay

Pining for detection

Until a beckoning

Of inspiration tweaks

Scratching faintly

At our essence

Scarcely familiar

Dismissed fettered dream

Knocks frantically

Demanding resurrection

Reconstruction, regeneration

Tenaciously refusing rejection

Holding ransom health

Emotional conciliation

And the quest for happiness

Declining pacification with

Victuals, copulation or intoxicants

Dark nights, lone moments

Harvest continued reminders

Badgering us

To renew "The dream"

Ask yourself what dream you're suppressing in dire need of being expressed!

Can you revamp it? Is it nagging you, but not yet realized? Or are you romancing that dream and following your bliss?
