My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Photo Challenge #106 The stillness seems to deepen. Hush! Soft footprint without a sound On daytime ground Cooling in the night-time shadows. Out of black silence come two hands, Blue as the moon and dry as sand, Acrid touch of a woad warrior. Yes, I know It is you […]

Mightier than the Sword
My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Photo Challenge #105 The Lady of the Lake Has relinquished Excalibur, Released Merlin And taken up the pen. Her rhymes are regal, Metre magical; Poetry of romance, love and death Blown across the lake on misty breath. The Lady of the Lake does not mince words, Now that she […]
Night Mare on the Moor
My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Photo Challenge #104 On a desolate windswept dreamscape of granite and peat, muted moss blends into bracken beaten into submission by wuthering winds. Overhead, turbulent watercolours of a nightmare gather in the sky. Scratched by a pair of ravens’ gravelly tones, the sleepwalker stirs in a tangle of burs […]

Yellow Orchids
My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Photo Challenge #95 Yellow Orchids by Liz West CC BY 2.0 Sweet vanilla permeates the senses spilling like liquid sunshine filling the air perfect petals open dragon mouths in a silent roar an orchid song as they perch along wiry stems glowing in their glory © Kim M.

Cold Fence
My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie’s Photo Challenge # 94 Even the tracks of thorny wire lean Towards the early morning sun Tangled in tufts of icy grass Held fast By solid snow Soaked By slow Weak rays of light The cold fence Gives up the fight And sags A little more © Kim M. Russell, […]
