A
whole heap of nothing
comes
drizzling down the sky
a
tempest of teacups
does
it miss an I?
and
is that eye quite clear
where
everything’s gone quiet?
come
see the stone’s rocking
the
trees filtering light
till
the dark has measured
itself
in finite quanta
and
floats like ice in glasses
and
rims the answer.
Everything’s
got methods
to
make heaps of nothing,
to
make tempests, teacups
and
darkness inviting.
I am over at one of my most favourite sites today....at Write...Edit...Publish...talking about Constellations, which is one of the prompts for the October challenge. Darkness or light, that site is always inviting!
The other prompt is, of course, Halloween....there is a choice! which is always great...check it out...sign up on the 1st and join in with your flash fiction, poetry, photo essay or artwork on the 19th for a great Octoberfest. There are goodies to be won. An Amazon voucher (worth USD 10) and a personalised badge for the winner. And special badges for the two runners-up as well.

Happy also that I'll be involved more deeply in WEP from 2017....helping seed the challenges along with hosts Denise and Yolanda, and Olga Godim who is their talented art designer.
So hop over and check it out, the prompts are always meaty and fun :) and the conversation sparkling. See you there!
