I wrote this poem before consulting with Sammi for the Weekend Writing Prompt.
And so when I did check, I had to shorten my short poem. I hope you enjoy them.
Weekend Writing Prompt #369 – Spoonful
(lovely serendipity)
Scoop a spoonful of sunshine
Add a sliver of last night’s moon
Sprinkle a dusting of silliness
Gulp it down like one fine-tuned
Watch the stars sweep through the room
Wrapped inside the finest tissue paper
Untie the spider web ribbons with care
The rainbow remedy of the day savor
(51 words)
A spoonful of sunshine
A sliver of moon
Dust it with silliness
Very quickly consume
Watch the soft-landing of stars
Wrapped in fine tulle
Relish the remedy du jour
--Repeat as needed

Perhaps you’d join the prompt too?
Happy Solstice…
I’m a simple woman who dares to see the beauty in ordinary. I’d love to connect with you and like pen pals, I want something beautiful to blossom between us. Will you join me? Selma is my middle name. Its meaning—peaceful, complete, are euphoric affirmations I like to think of myself as having. They compliment the joy I feel when I write. I sincerely hope you decide to join me on my writing journey. I Wish You Miracles.
