Cruising on vapours
At the end of a long year
Reflecting sadly

Secret Keeper runs a weekly poetry challenge here – http://thesecretkeeper.net/2015/10/26/weekly-writing-prompt-8/ .
This week’s prompt words were: liquid – story – sound – mind – gate. I like to try and use them all in a single, coherent haiku…
Gates of a sound mind
Dissolve to liquid fury
Hearing that “story”
21
Ran five miles home,
A long sprint to hide my shame;
A longer shower
22
An empty vessel.
I won’t miss you when you’re gone
I tell myself now
23
Last look through the door.
My heart stretched to breaking point
To see you with him
24
A look, lingering
Slices through my defences,
Leaves my wound exposed
25
My sun and my sin,
Guiding me through moonless night
Blinding me to faults
26 – For Emma
Purple skirt kisses
Next to the bar quiz machine
You looked amazing

This is Ronovan’s latest haiku challenge, with the prompt words “lock” and “gab”. https://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com/2015/06/15/haikuchallenge-49-ronovanwrites-lock-gab/ I wrote a huuuuuge pile of love haiku at the weekend that I’m publishing here each day, and it seems that the theme of love has seeped into these too…
The Princess and the Toad
A garrulous toad
Unlocks the princess’s heart
But he’s not a prince
The Love That Dare Not Speak
I don’t have the words
For love that dares not whisper
Lock down all feeling
Routemaster
The gift of the gab
Is my route to your riches
A forbidden love?

This is the blog of a woman who is seriously on the edge and I mean right ON the edge…no, not there… just a little bit further… further than that…no, further still…just a tiny bit more… just move slightly to the right a little…no, that’s too much…just move a tad to the left…that’s right, just there…now you’ve moved too far to the left… Damn, what part of the ‘on the edge’ do you not understand? Oh, and her matricidal boy genius, come devil spawn.
