Arctic Escape
My response to dVerse Poets Pub Haibun Monday #17 In most parts of the UK, July and August are on average the warmest months of the year: blue skies, sunshine and soaring temperatures. Although it has been said that a British summer consists of two fine days and a thunderstorm which, until the last few […]
After the Funeral
My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Wordle #119 “July 25th, 2016” Words careen Like damselflies that fidget Around a skiff, backlit By summer sun.

A Curtailed Summer
My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Writing Prompt #169 “Collage Special Edition” That year of our childhood, We picked berries, Squeezed their shiny plumpness Until their blood ran red. Intoxicated by the bitter sweetness And our summer freedom, We tottered down to the mill pond And clambered on the abandoned Lichen-stained waterwheel, Anchored in a snarl […]
Swimming in the Red Lake
My response to Elusive Trope’s Magnetic Poetry Saturday Challenge I heave my lazy head from shadow of whispering water, swim in gorgeous red smear of sweet honey light on delirious lake, skin cool as a rose petal symphony. © Kim M. Russell, 2016 Image found on www.flickr.com
