menacing clouds burst
rampant river overflows
old dam gives in
like grandpa`s old sweater
unravels on his portly chest

Rolling waves
wind gusts bind the jib
stirring bellies
staring at the mocking sky
through the porthole

Prompt: Through the porthole
coming home (kyoka)
pre-dawn cloudburst
flowers hang their heavy heads
old man heaves
coming home from Hurley’s Pub
hanging low away from mum

Hear or Here (kyoka)
(Kyoka)
Stream of Consciousness
Linda asks us to write here
on what we hear,
read aloud it’s confusing
hearing “here”, “hear” sound alike.

I squealed (Kyoka)
Hot summer nights
feel a shadow overhead
bat squeals!
I duck and squeal louder
woke up the neighbourhood

Mosquitoes (Kyoka)
backyard mosquitoes
sucking like vampires
blood thirsty pests
hardly felt even an itch
thanks to fleshy pink thighs.
