GYWO Yahtzee: original poetry fills

[meridian_rose]

For my prompts here
I decided to write poetry and to meet minimum scoring requirements, tanka (5/7/5/7/7) as opposed to haiku (5/7/5 syllables)
Tucking these away for the writing blog if I ever resurrect it.


(1) picture prompt: beer bottles toasting against the setting sun

Are you ever torn
between toasting another
day survived, and the
sad recognition of a
day of life spent; gone

2) word prompt: rustle

The rustle of leaves
against her window at night
speaks of summer's end,
Cooler autumn nights bringing
deeper sleep and blissful dreams

3) word prompt: narcississtic

Narcissus loved his
own visage; a tragic end
A cautionary
tale, and even now we use
his name for self-obsession

4) picture prompt: vast and mysterious library or museum

Libraries, stores of
knowledge, and therefore power
No wonder that they
are liminal spaces, full
of potentiality

5) picture prompt: a garden centre with shelves of plants

Fragrant rosemary
Colourful geranium
Spiky cactus plant
Which plants will you choose to buy
to brighten home or garden
