Cicadas, kookaburras and seagulls
are in full blown voice competition
from their own colony
No one knows
how does this seemingly chaotic battle tune coexist
with the synchronised sound of waves
While
Beach goers
pitch their tents, cabanas
and lay out beach towels
claiming their own
unmarked territory
No one cares
how others spend their holiday
They are quite happy
to share the sun
and the sound of nature
Woken Up
I have recently
Found out
Living with someone
Who is
Considerate
Fair
Helpful
Caring
And
Lighthearted
Is such
Joy
No Regrets
I laughed
I cried
I tasted life
I’m not afraid to say goodbye
Redwing
The Six Sentence Story word prompt – MARVEL
You know when we were first going out, I googled you?
No way!
I found out you were one of the MARVEL Team Titans characters called Redwing.
Are you serious? Carrie Levine the Redwing!?!
If you don’t believe me, see it for yourself.
False Freedom
You boarded the train
With a one way ticket
Thinking that you were going somewhere
Well, well
The journey ended, didn’t it
Soon you came back to square one
Ain’t got nothing to show off
Not a penny in your holed pocket
Loyalty didn’t count for shit in your cv
Older and wiser is a big fat lie
You know why
they built a ladder to heaven
To make sure that
only God would take you
Humans are too fucking selfish
to care about a man
living under the proverty line

Six Sentence Story word prompt – MARVEL
“Welcome to GirlieOnTheEdge and Sunday’s prompt word reveal for Six Sentence Stories!
What if we had a clock where, instead of the ordinals representing hours, they represented months? At the end of the 12th month, it would roll over to the next year and a number would flash in the center of the clock. The optional feature (of course) is what the year represents. Option 1: your age. Option 2: the current year. Regardless of the numerics, at the conclusion of 12 months, the clock would begin flashing, there, in the center either the YEAR or your AGE…
Hey, let’s give it up for Cassa Bassa! She took me up on last Sunday’s post invitation to provide this week’s prompt word. You go girl!
Have a fantastic week everyone. Challenge yourself. Do something different.
Rules of the hop:

Use the current week’s prompt word.
Return here, link your post Wednesday night through Saturday late…
Spread the word and put in a good one to your fellow writers 😀
PROMPT WORD: MARVEL
“Words are the most subtle symbols which we possess, and our human fabric depends on them.” – Iris Murdoch”
Lost and Found
Last night you swam freely in the ocean
Rode alongside the dolphins
Unafraid of the jelly fish
I wanted to join you to venture into the deep
My body was reality bound
A child longed for freedom through the aquarium glass
This morning I strolled along the beach
Looked for the remnant of the past
No sign of dolphains, nor jelly fish
Only a sail boat on the edge of the horizon
I wondered if you caught my message bottle
Same But Different
Tears
like pearls of a broken necklace
fall on rosy cheeks
scatter along with messy emotions
stain a perfect Spring day
Rain
like tears of a broken heart
fall on mossy grass
run along with mucky roots
prepare for the perfect growth
A Hope Garden
The Living Poetry prompt – lady, island, essential
The lady in cargo shorts started planting
In the wee hours under the island moonlight
When the sun was up
I knocked to introduce myself to my new neighbour
Over a pot of Turkish coffee
I came to know that she planted
Wild Iris, Obedient Plant, Marsh Marigolds and Rose Milkweed
I can’t wait to see her garden bloom
It will be a luxury on an island
only sustained with the essentials
Imagine the pretty little pink, purple and gold blossoms
swaying in the pacific breeze
Lavender Dance
You slip on the lilac dresses
and run towards the meadow
Soon you are all in positions
in accordance with the choreography
When the bees sing
you start to slow dance
in sunshine yellow
Every cloud in the sky
knows you are exceedingly happy
