Hither and Yon

I started true,
got quickly bored
missing my cue,
my mind unmoored.
In my downfall
my thoughts were all
willy-nilly.

I happened to see the weekly prompt “willy-nilly” at the “Moonwashed Musings”site and realized it was perfect line seven for a ha’sonnet, and this is what it inspired. If you go to the site I’m sure you will find a lot of wonderful takes on the prompt based on the few I’ve had time to read in my feed.

Shockingly Dry

Baring impact
of moisture need,
dried up and cracked
my fingers bleed
Add doorknob zings
and early Spring’s
ordeal’s unreal

Make My Day (Green)

Looking through my
view of life’s junk
I can’t say I
feel lucky, punk
It seems obscene
to make beer green
for a Saint’s day
