Word of the Day Challenge: Vivid

Caramel apples held lovingly between chocolate spattered claws
popcornballs raised gently to wax lips and candy fangs in bliss
peanut butter kisses wrapped in orange and black wax paper
exchanged by porchlight, under the moonlight
Halloween is Valentines Day for dark hearts in disguise.
Grey turns to blue
a hint of optimism on life
believed by a few
denied to so many others.
Grey turns to blue
what happened to that sky
that promised me snow and rain
begone foul sunlight, you will get no love from me.
Grey turns to blue
what happens when you pump air
into an empty skull and a dreamless soul
I am not smiling at you. I am grimacing.
Grey turns to blue.

Marjory Blair
fell asleep in a field
covered with flowers and trees.
The grass was so cool
the Sun was so warm
” Wake up, come play with us “
her new friends begged her that day.
But the dark Earth beneath her
and all the creatures that live there
reached up and claimed her
before she could wake.
So with them
Marjory Blair
will sleep
and with them
Marjory Blair
will dream
And with them
Marjory Blair
will forever
Rest In Peace.
Putting My Feet in the Dirt: September Prompt #18 : Polished to Perfection

Her nails were perfect
her hair was too
her smile was the best smile money could buy
and so were her boobs.
Her beauty was like those rough little stones
you polished and tumbled for nights
and when they were done and looked like jewels
you wore them with childlike delight
but if they were flawed,
straight to the garden they went
to live with the mulch
and slugs.
