Night

Winter’s white is summer’s night
Bright when seen with evening light.

Linked to K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge with the theme “night”.

Living in the Light

In every case the light will win.
Even shadows can’t stand lies.
Though nights are cool when days begin
Forgive, give praise to morning's rise.

Linked to K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge with the theme of “living in the light” and to Debbie Roth’s Forgiving Fridays. Also linked to dVerse Poetics where Lillian is hosting with the theme of “temperature”. I am hoping I can fit the prompt with those cool nights.

Up Close

Up close it still was far away.
When I went closer, it said, "Stay."
The inside I will never see
Nor will it when it looks at me.

Linked to K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge where the theme is “up close and personal”.

Heart

If you could see and reach the heart that hides in me
The sun may shine or not for all I’d care
Then with you we could search the sky for love
And by that know the truth of what is real out there.

Linked to K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo prompt with the theme “if you could see into the heart of me”. Also linked to dVerse Quadrille where Grace is hosting with the word “sun”.

Street Photography

Lost within the city
Walking to and fro
Beauty could be anywhere
Anywhere I cared to care
Everywhere I go.

Linked to K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge where the theme is “street photography”.

Independence Paint

The hot afternoon brought a sinister cloud extending across the western horizon that painted the sky behind it dark. From the distance of our heroes on Earth they could not estimate its speed, but they knew it would be upon them at any moment.

“That is the largest alien vessel I have ever seen! It covers the sky.”

“It’s a storm cloud. We need to reach shelter before the downpour.”

“It’s part of the rebellion to liberate the universe from the evil empire. They want our planet as a base of operations.”

“I hope not.”

Then the aliens landed.

Linked to K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge where the theme is “a state of independence” and to Charli Mill’s Carrot Ranch where the theme this week for 99-word stories is “paint”.

Interesting Buildings

The bad we do won't keep us out.
The good won't get us in.
The buildings shine and leave no doubt
That all that's left is to begin.

Linked to K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Prompt with the theme this week of “interesting buildings”. Also linked to dVerse Poetry Form where the quatrain is being featured.

Anime-ted

Surprised, I turned around to see,
In spite of everything I knew,
The world afresh with mystery
And animated, too.

Linked to K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge where the prompt is “an anime-ted life”. With the use of a little anime-ted imagination hopefully these photos fit the prompt.

Eat, Drink and Be Merry

I just watered the plants and those geese, those many geese, look well fed and merry.

Linked to K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge where the prompt is “eat, drink and be merry”.

Diaphanous

When veils are down then we may meet
The overlying mystery
Unless we’re busy frantically
Ignoring what was there to see.

Linked to K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge with the theme to pick one of the three words: “seraphic, diaphanous or immutable”. I picked diaphanous although I’m not sure what it means.
