Another APED challenge. This time we were given an image as our inspiration: Image Source: Ship Mary L. Cushing by William G. Yorke (via Wikimedia Commons) With the poem below, I tried to write the line to give the impression of the waves instead of them being a fixed length. I also used two distinct … More APED #18 – Carry Me Home
It was an accident; I felt it in spite of me. You had made it crystal clear that “we” would never be. Still when we collided, I felt it tear me apart and a piece of your shrapnel lodged deep into my heart. I didn’t mean to love you; said I’d just be a friend. … More After the Accident: What Now?
There is this creature, lives inside my head. Formed from every ugly untruth they said. I made fatal mistake: I listened & believed, till every slander smothered & it hurt when I breathed. The creature first found me when I was most alone, hissing: “They’re right! We’re bad to the bone.” We stared daggers at … More Creature Comforts: Love in the Dark
Okay…as I’m aware of the “be careful what you wish for” adage and as the sad kitten poem got dark (see The Usual Suspect), here’s a happier poem using “candyfloss”, “kittens”, “rainbow”, “fluffy”, “pink” and “cloud” as a prompt. Could be that the original was spot on and no need for an alternative but I … More Love on a Cloud – alternative for Blackheart111
Following my most recent APED challenge, I joked with Blackheart111 that my poem may have been much happier if the chosen words were “candyfloss”, “kittens”and “rainbows”. Blackheart111 added “fluffy”, “pink” and “clouds” to the list and I decided rather than leaving it as a joke, I’d write it and let Blackheart111 pick the mood. The … More The Usual Suspect – for Blackheart111
Okay…this is my second stab at an “APED” challenge. For this piece, we were asked to use at least three of ten chosen words. The selected words were: Kiss, Death, Sun, Garden, Begging, Remains, Nothing, Doll, Walk and Ever. So I used all ten. No word limit this time. Warning: Not a happy poem. In … More APED Prompt 17: Plain Speaking (Nothing Remains)

She was all about sun shine and rainbows, While I was about dark clouds and grey skies. She was every possibility, While I was the failure, the lies. I… was someone else’s story. She was laughter and happiness, While I was love purgatory. She wanted dresses and boots; And to catch…
This poem was written in response to “A prompt each day“, a daily dose of inspiration. It’s the first time I’ve tried writing from a prompt…and as well as this one asking for a set phrase to be included, a very small word count was given and we were also challenged to make it EXACTLY … More APED – Prompt 16: I Believed in Love
Our love bought the home, our mortgage tied us together. Owed each other a debt we would be repaying forever. Our daughter dashed in first, quickly claimed her room. Whilst I was still unpacking you laid claim to the gloom. I was a writer by the night and also a dad by the day. You … More Where No Roses Grow
Those two same hands he swore would always hold her, they now seek to push her far away. And all of those whispered words which he told her, fading foul on her tongue were sweet nothings yesterday. She let him inside, now needs her no more, Her heart bangs hard within her chest, her hands … More Tears Her Inside Out
