Bewitching witches be watching watches

20190905 16:18 hr

In response to a "Word Wednesday" prompt on a facebook page,

"If two witches watched two watches, which witch would watch which watch"

Which witch watching which watch
depends on
which other witch was watching which other watch.

For the witch watching over one watch
is a different witch from
the other witch watching over the other watch.

As the one watch watched by one witch
is not the same as
the other watch watched by the other witch.

Whatever the witch watches,
whichever the watch watched,
comes down to
which witch first watched which watch.

21 - 27 Jan 2019

Press on.
Press on.
Her mind keeps saying,
As she summons yet another ounce of strength
to climb another step

Stop.
Stop.
I can't climb anymore!
Her limbs cry out,
Yearning for respite from the unyielding cliff
and inhospitable rocks.

The war must be fought,
The battle must be won.
She must yield only to the urging of her determination,
Never to the cry of of her desperation.

She must not turn to the crimson life-line that is waiting for her to give up.
She must not let go.

Bond

MyWriters Poetry Prompt
36th Prompt of 2018
Week 25Dec2018 to 01Jan2019

Bond

Strong is the bond between mother and child
They hold each other close,
Their hearts beating wild.

Enduring the bond between childhood friends
No matter time nor distance
Their friendship never ends

Legal is the bond imposed by a contract
Once you set your seal thereof
Your promise you can't take back

Mystical the bond between master and disciple
Through hardship and much suffering
They practise with nary a grumble

Unbreakable is the bond between man and wife
     What God hath joined together
     Let not man put asunder
          For better or for worse
          They walk together for life.

When Storm Clouds Gather

MyWriters Poetry Prompt
35th Prompt of 2018
14th - 21st December 2018

When Storm Clouds Gather.

Pristine beach with its picnic crowd
Has become deserted and forlorn

Clear green waters that made the sea feel proud
Now looks timid like a lamb just shorn

Trees in the distance huddle together
Preparing for an unwelcome visitor

They look up and see dark storm clouds gather
And brace for impending disaster.
