Flying
The Rocket ship
Wild imagination
Through the ether to far off lands
Wormholes
Bring us to our destination
See rocks, stars, old blue moons
Lonely Planets
Then home

A red and white cartoon rocket ship, with a round window to look out of,  blasting off away from the Earth, as it takes a trip into space.

Enjoy
Quiet moments
The nature of our world
Is one of bother and bustle
Relax
Pause life, for a perfect moment
Breathe in, hold and release
Find perfect peace
In you

A monk meditating in a minimal wood panelled room that looks out across a calm still landscape of trees and fields,and rolling hills covered in mist.  The image evokes a sense of peace and calm that could be either early in the morning or at sunset when the sky merges its colours to form different hues.

Next doors
Shouty morning
Where's my socks, toast is burnt
Your trainers? same place you left em
Argh mum
Slam of front door, they're late leaving
Morning melee soon fades
Soon be evening
School daze

Human
Tragedy strikes
Something leaves us inside
Mourning scents, fresh dying flowers
Curbside
Faces in photos bleach and fade
Fallen petals remind
How delicate
This life

Traces
Of light captured
Within acetate frames
Fleeting memories in picture
Albums
Your life through someone elses eyes
First breath, first step, labelled
Now organise
Your life

A hint
Of amber thread
Cascades from heavens blue
Into mother nature's embrace
Warming
Moisture dries on nacreous wings
That shimmer in sunlight
A pause to breathe
Fleeting

#NacreousWings #poetry #ButterflyCinquain #MicroPoetry #Poets ##poetrycommunity #MastoPoets #writingcommunity #MastoWriters

A newly emerged blue butterfly warms its moist wings and takes its first breathes on the warm sun soaked ground, before taking its first flight.

Nothing
Haunts the heart more
Leaves noticable scars
Than familiar disappointment
Cutting
Subtle words, the telltale pauses
Disapproving syntax
When you live life
Your way

#YourWay #ButterflyCinquain #micropoetry #poetry #smallpoems #PoetryCommunity #WritingCommunity #WritersofMastodon

A person standing on the edge, atop a building, hands on pockets, hood up, looking out across a bustling city, yet despite all the people in the city this person stands at the edge alone.

She sways
Sashays, dances
Gives a twirl on the spot
Slender flowing lines, fingers wind
Beckon
Stilletto heels tap the boardwalk
Seduction in one look
Foxy lady
Smokin'

#ButterflyCinquain #MicroPoetry #PoetryLovers #Poets #WritingCommunity

Jessica rabbit, the Femme Fatale from Who Framed Rodger Rabbit, taking to the stage in stiletto heels, her trademark figure hugging, yet flowing floor length red dress, split to the waist, long purple satin gloves, a cigarette in an impossibly long holder, singing sweet seduction into the 1950's Shure 51 Sonodyne Dynamic microphone, on a long stand to enchant the souls of lonely Private Eyes.

Unearth
Old time capsules
Hidden in lifes clutter
Dust covers miscellaneous
Boxes
Sometimes fragile collections hide
Purposely Forgotten
Opening them
Reckless

#butterflycinquain #micropoetry #poetry #poets #writingcommunity

A cluttered attic of old cases, boxes, papers, a time capsule of a life lived, its secrets, keepsakes hidden in layers dust

Silence
After the fight
Ice cold disconnection
Pain from the emotional storms
Chill winds
That fine line between love and hate
Is not to be explored
Repercussions
Certain

#mastoprompt #repercussions #butterflycinquain #micropoetry #poetrylovers #poetry #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity

Black and white photograph of a young boy and young girl sitting on a metal garden bench, there is a cold distance between them, the boy looks away, sad, his hands grip the bench and he pulls himself into himself, as if to stop the pain from getting in. Tthe girl looks sadly across the divide toward him.

Under
Pepper smoke skies
Elders recite stories
Mystical legends handed down
Through time
Knowledge carried in slow smoke swirls
Charcoal burns in the pipe
Rite of passage
Begins

Storm clouds
Dark bubbles blown
Across the countryside
As rainbows in raindrops descend
Earthwards
We gather, holding hands tightly
Mumbled words become lost
In beautiful
Moments

#Butterflycinquain #micropoetry #WritingCommunity #PoetryCommunity #poetryLovers #Poetry

Storm clouds and the sun reflected in a falling raindrop as if they are all trapped in their own beautiful universe within the falling drop

Dwelling
On past mistakes
Goading voices, haunt me
Demons strip my soul from feeling
Happy
I cover my pain with a shroud
Hiding it from others
So i can seem
Normal

Inside
My mind I fight
It's never been quiet
With imaginations chatter
Shouting
The worries of reality
Place hurdles I must climb
And all before
I write

#PoetryCommunity #ButterflyCinquain #micropoetry #WritingCommunity

A depiction of the mind alive with thoughts from the imagination, input from reality, bursting in swirls of energy in our mind

Life is
More of a hike
Across wind swept mountains
Than a skip through summer meadows
Relax
This is not a race, there's no prize
It's Inevitable
That we'll get to
The end

Lovers
Delicately
Dance around emotions
Gently tiptoeing with finesse
Around
Sensitivities of the heart
The yin-yang finds balance
When two free souls
Unite

yin and  yang pendants worn by lovers, but when brought together form the complete circle

Fragments
Of shattered hearts
Discarded on silent shores
Gently weep familliar songs
Mermaids
Join the serenade of the lost
A whisky quarter cask
Drowns the sorrows
Away

The world
Seems so distant
Hidden below the clouds
Thoughts escape from my wounded soul
Jumbled
Focus on the important words
Collect then in jam jars
Where they spell out
Stories

#ButterflyCinquain #micropoetry #writingcommunity

Words collected in strips and stuffed into 3 large jars atop a table

Holding
A precious life
Away from the frayed edge
Breathing for you, our souls as one
Saviour
Kiss of life beyond loves feeling
Life's fate holds the reason
To save a soul
Rescue
