Picture Promt Paradox Poetry Contest
Sponsor-Margarita Lillico
Your mother's mistake springs from her sweet hearts
That summer midnight your dad lacked the smarts
We did our best in our fall
Winter came and life's snowball
Son, be wise of life's many moving tarts
Picture Promt Paradox Poetry Contest
Sponsor: Margarita Lillico
Mother said son please be wise
Don't lose yourself in her eyes
Simply just date her
Lest some time later
Comes an unexpected surprise!
The lighting, it was over bright
Melting the flesh from my bones
Piercing through my sight
The lighting, it was over bright
Forever more will I wish for quiet nights
Wishing never to spy on these drones
The lighting, it was over bright
Melting the flesh from my bones

hot, dry, sunny, day
it is nature's way
lizards, cacti, and foxes too
pain, ongoing, never ending,
thirst, craving you
