mercury rising

she serves it up
raw
not to the timid

she socks it to you
straight
you chase her

you fall
tripping
on the corner of her eye

fair game
caught up
in her midnight dragnet

no stories, no way out
no names
just safe words

Thank you very much!

Rene Foran said...

Heh!

Rene Foran said...

It's both frightening and seductive, no?

Rene Foran said...

This picture prompt was not my favourite either, to be honest. But I liked the challenge.

Brilliant stuff - I was totally lost with this prompt.

Anna :o]

Rene Foran said...

You weren't alone Anna. This was a tough prompt.

Pearl said...

OMG, I laughed aloud at the haiku!!

(And the poem? Reminds me of that wait for spring to appear...)

Pearl

Rene Foran said...

Aw thanks Pearl. And I, like you, am waiting not so patiently for spring to arrive.
