you will notice me
raise my mane and loudly roar
I’m majestic courage
*
I’m majestic courage
I take the choice you to lead
fluttering standard
*
fluttering standard
carry you into battle
I’m the first to die
Carpe Diem’s haiku prompt for this week is Courage
Once so noble
they did say
fought fire-breathing dragons
gave his life away
***
Handled a blade
feared not the scourge
he fought with his might
they called it courage
***
He gave much
to win lady fair
for the love of her
his honor he’d share
***
What caused it to happen
that put out the fire?
was this his fate
caught in the mire?
***
That look in her eyes
he knew it was true
she could free him
with flaming eyes of blue

Hear my stic ‘bout knights of old
Tales foretold
but have u heard one
rarely laid down
Dis is bout a knight’s dayz off
he don’t fight
takes it downtown
the man is gettin down
rappin man is quite a fool
but boyz the ladies think he’s cool
Thanks to my friend Sean Vessey who keeps bailing me out of writing dilemmas. I think this is more his than mine. Join us, each Monday, as we begin The Quest of Titan our endeavor in writing a novel in “duet” form.
Monkey Man is the fun and crazy weekly host of the fast and furious Flash Fiction. Why Flash? It’s over before you have begun. In 160 characters, there is nothing more than blinking that occurs.

She said a word
in the cool of the night
he heard it wrong
now there’s heat and there’s spite
now a word can be handled
with love and with care
but another can be
flung like a dagger in the air
but the word wedges deeper
than the dagger ever will
it will cut and will carve
to see more than blood spill
oh to be misunderstood
in the heat of the night
no more love understanding
they were ready for a fight
Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
Gud skaper noko nytt ved sitt Ord og sin Ande, vi kan ta imot det i tru og få oppleve at han gjer sitt verk med oss. Hans skaparkraft verkar konstuktivt i våre liv og skaper noko som er verdifullt for oss. Naturkreftene verkar nedebrytande, i fylgje entropilova, men Gud er Ånd og det som er født av hans Ande består. Jesu frelsesverk er fullbrakt og fullkome. Han er den siste Adam, som er ifrå himmelen og som for oss har vorte ei livgjevande ånd. Han gjev oss den Heilage Ande frå himmelen av berre nåde. Han gjev oss det evige livet.
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
Thanks for following a cowgirl on her crazy life journey.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. - Edgar Allan Poe
