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

No Tomorrow

Maybe someday
good times will come
And we can pray
it won’t be glum
But why delay
Savor today
Employ your joy

Netflix and Chill

The space between
your thoughts and mine
was unforeseen
and yet benign
I won’t rejoice
your movie choice
but will keep still

I found this prompt in a folder and decided to write something for it. In response to the 26 September 2019 Smitten Book Challenge prompt at the Brave and Reckless blog and based on the title of the well-regarded book “The Space Between” by Michelle L. Teichman where the main character is a lesbian or a woman exploring her sexual identity.
