Stepping Up – July 2016
Sometimes, one’s dreams for
Today are just elusive
Enough to slip to tomorrow.
Persist, persevere anyway!

Fuzzy Reversal
A continuation of the snippet started last week and again, inspired by the “Moment of Writing Zen” provided by Casz.
“Tiny Mop Decals” he cursed as he stood in the rain. Exposure to the elements kept him from lighting up a cigarette, which kept him from earning a citation for breaking the NHO-laws, which allowed him to plot which laws to break tonight.
“Be strong, be fearless, be,” he said, starting to recite the assigned verse aloud. He didn’t care for the tone or cadence, so he began again. “Be strong, be fearless, be beautiful-.”
And then he saw her. He didn’t dare sit by her during first study, and was surprised to belatedly learn they had three other studies in common. Maybe it was meant to be that they collided at the platform. “Right people there to support…”
He took eight strides in her direction as she approached the Number 87 transit stop.

On the Shore – July 2016
Centered on the
“Anything goes,”
Letting loose regrets and woes
Morning is a new palette

Chess Game at the Party
People taking chances, roll of the dice
Laughing, cringing as laps made once, twice, thrice
Always having fun – win or lose, rich or poor
Yay to the board games, card game, games galore!

Snowy Road 2012 by Tommia Wright
So much for spring appearing
Now as the flakes come down
Overshadowing the multi-colored palette
White

Remembrance – July 2016
Love leaves
Infinite lines
Near one’s
Everlasting heart

Simple Reflections – July 2016
Anything odd can look
Normal and
Everything wrong could be
Write

Disappearing Descent – July 2016
Releasing
Everyday
Struggles to
The tides

Carrier Time
Today’s mini-snippet (which could have been placed on the other blog) is inspired by the ‘Moment of Writing Zen‘ provided by the amazing Casz.
Now is a great time to get your own copy of Casz’s debut novel – Wilderness Rim!
“Be a carrier!” Art Dost Pomp
Six fading words on an archaic paper ad stopped her. Most items like this would have been burned, replaced by ear-clips or digi notes. The fact that this one survived intrigued her.
“Be a carrier,” she mouthed, adjusting the leather satchel on her shoulder. Even the design of the first letters of Art Dost Pomp dared her, yet she couldn’t explain how or why.
Someone pushed her towards the transit. It took her a moment to realize it was a fellow scholar who had the same first study she did. With a look, he warned her of the time. They claimed the last two spots before the doors slid shut.
As the transit jostled, she saw a patch just beneath the flap of The Pusher’s pack. Sure, she should have remembered his name, but it escaped her. The ‘A’ looked just like the ad.
He caught her staring, so he responded with sealing the pack properly.
“Be a carrier,” she mouthed once more, wondering if she had the courage to approach The Pusher after study.

The Writers’ Retreat July 2016
Sitting
In silence, time
Marches on while
Peace waits for someone to
Listen to its
Intimate message
Calling for the
Insanity of busyness
To stop so
Yesterday may rest
