Sue’s photo prompt this week.
Excuse me while I go all Fifty Shades on you!
Dom/Sub
Caught
Unable to turn an inch
Imprisoned
Every move, I feel a pinch
Confined
A punishment so sweet
Penned
Spreading body heat
Enveloped
Anticipating touch
Jailed
Can sense you, oh so much
Enclosed
A feeling so intense
Caged
A desire so immense
Ritu 2016
Maybe this is because I am reading Grey at the moment by E.L. James.
Don’t shoot me!
I read the first three Fifty Shades books when they came out, I had to see what the hype was about with this one too!

The lovely TJ has a great prompt for his haiku challenge this week!
Symmetry
We were in the garden, having a barbeque as I read this prompt, and I searched for inspiration outside… Here was what I came up with.
My hanging basket
Red spouting on either side
Nature’s symmetry

And one more, a little bit of fun!
*The contents of these bottles weren’t all consumed today!
Red, White, Red, White, Red
Be sure to drink with caution
Must keep it balanced

Another intriguing photo prompt from Sue this week, and I got to educate myself too! What is Liminal, I asked myself?
Liminal is an English adjective, “on the threshold,” from Latin limen, plural limina, “threshold.” Liminality is the abstract noun formed from limina.
Thank you Wikipedia!
So… the photo…
And my tanka for this week.
Liminal
We’re on the threshold
Which adventure lies within?
Mystery indeed
An other-worldly portal
Or just a simple cavern?

Monday and it’s Haiku Time! With a great prompt from Ronovan.
Sizzle & Sleek
Belly Dancer
The shimmy of hips
With sleek curves undulating
Sizzling seduction
Ritu 2016
I’d love to be able to belly dance! I have a great belly… it sorta undulates of its own accord… but that’s due to lack of exercise!
But seriously, I think the whole art form is so sensual!
