Forgotten, But Not Left Behind

A Facebook Poem in Two Parts

(Hers)
Woke at 4 a.m.
with a start,
thinking,
He forgot 
something. 
Walked around
my house
with a flashlight, found
his cell phone on the dining
room table, ran into rainy
darkness, tapped on his
window as he was about
to drive away.

(His)
 ...about to drive
away
at 4 a.m. when
I heard a faint tapping
at the window...unlocked
the door and it opened to an
absolute beauty
standing in the misty
moonlight wearing only a
nightie
and my cell phone in her
hand...
Thank you, Linda! That was amazing!

The Promise

You know the old saying, "Better late than never." This photo is in response to Rebecca Barray's prompt, take a picture of the sky. 

Frost layers her life,
smoothing chafing
from promises within.
On the horizon, Heaven
peeks out, lighting her way
through the darkness.

Frosty the Snowman

Bolton Carley's photo prompt was to take a picture that represents a holiday song. My picture and haiku are for, "Frosty the Snowman."

Smiles from everyone

that holiday time is near,

heartwarming Frosty.
