5 Little Pumpkins...a story in 100 words

Not my photo

5 Little Pumpkin
By MR aka Naila Moon of the Grey Wolf

She was new to this gig and had to get this absolutely right. She would have to fly far just to find the right one. An important mission indeed and she couldn't screw it up.

It happened that she flew past Salem and landed in a lovely pumpkin patch. There she saw five beautiful specimens sitting in a row. 

“Ah, this one will work perfectly,” she thought, “It is nicely kissed.”

With all her might she took the pumpkin back to the shabby cottage and placed it carefully in the rocky driveway. Yes, the girl will have a lovely ride.

I wrote this story for Saturday Centus. The challenge was to write in 100 words using the photo prompt.

Smashed Brain...a poem

Smashed Brain
By: Michelle R .......aka Naila Moon of the Grey Wolf

My mind is clouded
With the things I have
Forgotten.
Memories smashed
In the recesses of my brain.

They peek out on occasion
To tell a story
Of time,
Of place,
Of happiness,
Or sadness.

I never know
When they will appear.
And sometimes,
I am scared to think
They never will again.

Silent Cries...a poem

Silent CriesBy: Michelle R. aka Naila Moon of the Grey Wolf

I awaken
At 3 AM
To the silent cries
That are within.

They are grounded,
Firmly in my heart
And cause deep pain.
That in turn,
Causes water to flow
To the surface.

I am caught
Within this,
And cannot sleep.

My pain
Is too great
As the moonlight
Wears on.

Ode to the Mercury Cafe...a poem

The Mercury Cafe-my photo

Ode to the Mercury Cafe
By Michelle R aka Naila Moon of the Grey Wolf

I have come to this
the Mercury Cafe,
to hear the likes
of John, Mary and Sue
or maybe Shakespear too.

I strain to listen
to those
on this stage
we could call
life.

The prose pours forth
ticking away
at time.
The words
of hapiness
heartbreak
confusion
and wonder.

These words
empower,
shape us
and have meaning.

In the listening
we become better people
and possibly
a hope
for another.

Moon Magic & Satisfaction...two short poems

This was a challenge by a group I formerly belonged to called Poetry Posse. The type of poetry is called Alliteration.
Alliteration is the repeated consonant sound at the beginning of each word used. No vowels.  This was/is very different poetic writing for me but I took the challenge and ended up writing two as you will see below.

Moon Magic
By:Michelle R aka Naila Moon of the Grey Wolf

Moon Magic
Magestically Manifested
Mindlessly
Make me
Mellow.

Satisfaction
By:Michelle R aka Naila Moon of the Grey Wolf

Soulful songs
She sang
Silently sewing silk
Seeing stiches
Sewn straight
Sought satisfication.

Another Dance In the Moonlight...a poem for mature audience

Another Dance In the Moonlight

By: Michelle R. aka Naila Moon

Two heartbeats

Merge into one.

The rhythm,

Fever pitched.

Dancing in the darkness

The movement,

Sensual.

Entranced in the music

Eyes connecting

Bodies in motion.

The moonlight reveals,

Ecstasy.

Raining...a poetic haiku

This is a repost challenge that I did to come up with a haiku based upon the photo provided (please note, this is not my photo).

  Haiku is a poetic form of poetry originating from the Japanese. Haiku themes include nature, emotions or experiences.  Haiku follows a specific form:

First line: 5 syllables, 2nd line 7 syllables, and 3rd line 5 syllables.

(2012 Note: I flubbed the haiku but like the result anyway)

Here is the photographic inspiration:

Sweet kisses upon my skin

Carefully enraptured in the dance of life

Rain pours forth in passion
