bleed red and purple
leaves sizzle across cool sky
autumn’s frenzied dance

review cunning calliope of creatures
observe running menagerie of animalia
stare at stunning kaleidoscope of wild kingdom
gaze on sunning rainbow of critter chaos
admire funning mosaic of my zootopia
Gotta love this colorful fabric pattern featured at Imaginary Garden with Real Toads where Margaret invites us to quilt a poem!

hear!
fear not
a vision bright
be it angel or demon
bad politics or rad theology
apocalypse or alien invasion
hot warning of global warming
you can start living fearless
for I AM (is) with you
always…that’s a
promise, do
not be a-
frayed

faith’s holy flame

when faith fails,
humanity refuses the Light
rebel hearts and minds
enveloped by darkness
devolve to beasts.
seek stranger sex but
cannot commit to love;
civilization crumbles,
children are crushed.
when wind blows,
flickering flame will
be snuffed out…OR
burst into blazing torch!
Connecting with dVerse Poets for 6th Anniversary and “flicker” quadrille (44 word poem) prompt.

light fades to darkness
flashes of peaceful fireflies
keep vampires at bay
