I haven’t played this challenge for a little while but I felt like practicing a little poetry this week and so here is THE SECRET KEEPER’S WEEKLY WRITING CHALLENGE #85

The challenge words this week are

(5) Words: | SCORE | SLEEP | FREE | CALM | ESCAPE |

and I will be writing in the Shadorma form.

Cuppa’

by JE Lillie

Away sleep!

I will escape you!

Free my eyes!

Life awaits.

Free me my bittersweet muse!

Ahh! Scored a cuppa’!

Summer River

by JE Lillie

Hold me fast

With your languid stare.

Bind my gaze

Reflection.

Summer River tie me there

By the bank of lies.

_

Heated days

Wear that smile. Call truth

Deception.

Vernal days

Tell me falsehoods if only

To restore my peace.

_

Current flow

Wash away the days

Of facing

Perception.

Let warm waters reassure

Ignorance is bliss.
