When that ‘friend’ shows up
A pure shiver of delight
Do I look my best?

That Sue and her wonderful photo prompts!
We have this beauty to work with this week…

Delicate footprints
Embossed in the fresh white snow
Going up and down

Sacha Black’s prompt this week is more of a little game… Check it out here !
Anastasia sat there looking at the TV, listening to the inane ramblings of the latest politician to give his opinion on how he would run the country.
Every election year there was the door to door canvassing for votes, debates on the telly, the promises, yet no matter who got voted in, she was never any better off.
Seriously. Who gives a toss about her?
My words from that amazingly intellectual Heat Magazine I had next to my bed…
Gives
On
Year
Anastasia
Hope this was ok!

Oh, I had fun today! Lovely Ron gave our challenge prompt here.
The prompt words Shower and Play… What great words! Of course, there were so many ways we could go!
So I think I went all ways possible!
Haiku in 3/5/3 and 5/7/5 format, a tanka, and a Freku, just for Ron!

Duck – 3/5/3
Why shower?
Playing in the bath
Is more fun!

Sweat – 5/7/5
Feeling so sweaty
After a taxing workout
Need a shower methinks!
Ritu 2016

Innocence – Tanka
Watching children play
Laughing, gigging and happy
Is the greatest sight
Shower them with your love, not
Material Posessions

Heated Rainfall – Freku
Drops fall
Getting heavier
Heads turne upwards
Welcoming the rain
Washing away
The emptiness
Eyes lock
Raindrops caress
The face
Fingers trace
Their path
Chilled drps
Touching
Heated flesh
Body,
Outwardly cleansed
Thoughts,
Filthy…
***
Eyes meet, bodies touch
While cavorting in the rain
Temperatures rise
Ritu 2016
Phew! That was fun!
