February 29 - Star-Crossed
He, a cursed being
Yearning for her tender touch
Tempted by the night
I like the supernatural feel to this, but I love that it could be totally real, too. He loves her, but he’s tempted by drugs or whatever other mischief people get up to at night. Really cool!
Thanks. I'm in the midst of a flash fiction piece about someone addicted to opioids. I guess that sorta snuck in. 😉
Funny how that happens😏
Cross-eyed sailor man
Glanced North Star: “You Sirius?”
No laughing matter
🤦♀️This guy is in trouble.
1.
A cat and a fish,
Star-crossed in their wish to play,
Glass divides their worlds.
2.
A desert flower,
Craves the storm's fleeting caress,
Star-crossed thirst for rain.
3.
A comet's tail, bright,
Wishing on a star it meets,
Star-crossed in the night.
4.
Mountains and the sea,
Dreaming of each other's touch,
Star-crossed, yet they wait.
Wow! I’m impressed 🤩 The Cat In the Hat haiku is genius I have to say.
Thank you!!!
Troilus pledged his love
To the fair Trojan maiden;
Faithless Cressida.
