Oh No! Have a great weekend, stay cool! Jenny!
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny, didn't think I would be able to do this one but, somehow managed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for everything you do!
Hmmmmm! I'm anxious to see just what you come up with for next week. Centusians are hard to trick, you know!!
ReplyDeleteDear Jenny,
ReplyDeleteLovely prompt. But I am so busy doing things in the apartment with the children that I have written this poem without the usual painstaking rewrites. I let it write itself, which means that I don't understand what it means!
At least it allows me to play along with the rest of you fine folks.
Best wishes,
Anna

Never Alone – Saturday Centus – Mother May I
The storm brings thoughts to life like Frankenstein’s monsters shambling inside. You are worthless, no good, deserve to die.
When I was a boy, into my room she would come, while I had my eyes screwed shut against the worst. She lays her hand on my shoulder. A reassuring touch and we would mother may I.
Mother may I have good dreams tonight? Yes, sleep well till the light she would say.
My voice echoed in the empty room. Mother may I live? I feel her touch and words in my heart. Yes, live and love well according to another Grandma I know.
