Goldi wander in wood?
Red Cedar by Emily Carr
beware of three bears
see them growling!
is Red in the hood?
big bad wolf out there
hear him howling!
scare Peter but good
should tinkle bells wear
stop them prowling!

in cascade Tags: blood, breath, cross, death, firstborn, forsaken, son, tomb, wood
firstborn son cruelly beaten
pierced, hung on rough cross
dark blood trickles down wood
utterly forsaken by God
cries out in deep agony
firstborn son cruelly beaten
releases his final breath
pagan soldiers insure death
pierced, hung on rough cross
bruised body claimed, wrapped
gently laid in bare, stony tomb
dark blood trickles down wood
Requiem written in cascade form…linking with Amaya’s prompt at dVerse.

warm woodsy scent still
lingers in last night’s sweatshirt
campfire memories.

aroma’s scrapbook
applewood and pine needles
toasty marshmallows

warning: odor chokes
if wind changes direction
when sitting near fire.
