Thank you, Ron, for another great prompt, this cold Monday evening!
Check it out here.
The words this week… Smooth & Milk.
Charm Offensive!
Watching him work with
His smooth operator ways
Always milking it.

Latte Angel
Latte complexion
With a voice as smooth as silk
Sounds like an angel

Will you marry me?
Flames of desire ignited
With a shiny gem

Monday evening means it’s Ron’s haiku challenge! Read more here.
Great words this week – Child & Star. I started with a little humour, but the words touched me in a personal way, paving the path for the second haiku…
Honey Boo Boo!
Reality
Reality stars
Nothing more than hyped up and
Celebrated brats
Ritu 2016
And one a little more emotionally deep… means something to me…
For my 2 stars, twinkling in the sky…
Forever Stars
Farewell my cherubs
Gone too soon but with me still
Two more stars twinkle

Check out the fantastic new logo!
Tuesday was prompt day from Matt The Book Blogger, and I was a little tied up to manage to post straight away last night, so here is my attempt this week!
Check out the prompt here.
This week the prompt song is Labyrinth’s Jealous.
I sat here listening to the words… really listening. What a song! I know it’s a sad one, but I loved it!
Jealous
Sitting here watching you smiling…
Happy…
Happier than you ever were with me.
Why couldn’t I give you that happiness?
Still, I can’t moan, I can’t hold it against you.
But I still feel it… jealousy.
There. I said it.
Jealous.
I never realised that all you wanted was that extra affection.
I regret all those times I shrugged your arm off my shoulders, or refused to hold your hand in public.
It was never that I was ashamed. I just felt trapped, almost.
Does that make sense?
And that trap, of my own making, lost you.
I miss you…
I hope you enjoyed my take!

I’m not sure whether our challenge day is changing, or it’s just Ron keeping up on our toes, but the challenge I usually complete on a Monday, called out to me on a Sunday this week!
Our prompt words are Trill & Final.
Check the challenge out here
The Match – A Tanka
Twenty two players
Run ragged across the pitch
Fighting exhaustion
The shrill trill of the whistle
Sounds the end of the final
