Enjoyed!Poem makes one think about the disappearance of the forests.
The Witch
She looked at the distorted painting,
With a sad, hollow lonely laugh.
At her elbow rested
The spider she had adopted as a pet.

Website gone all wonky...
Challenge: bonfire, road, underwhelmed, rustic, roof, interwoven
no direction lost
a fierce bonfire-like flame flickered
in my mind's eye of reflection -
the rustic proof of interwoven
dimensionality within my imagination
so underwhelmed by my reality
that it shimmered like the intense
superheated air upon a desert road
wherewith I found no direction

Very imaginative poem. Hope real direction is ok.
Three little rabbits
Three little rabbits play the guitar
on a hill full of violets.
Being true rabbits
they didn't have any qualms on identity.
They spoke the secret language of hares,
and changed their location each time
an enemy approached.

Adieu and Farewell
I once fell into an enigma well -
it wasn't my intention to enter that spell
wonky were its surroundings
as one would expect
and the antics of all who dwelled therein
were enough to make me aware
that I didn't belong -
so I scrabbled and scraped
within the confines of my mind
to loosen the fetters that had me enthralled
till at last light appeared and it beckoned
with hope and I tossed off all there was
that had beguiled me

Congress
Restless constellations of power
wanting to usurp more power
elevating tension to breaking point
burning bridges behind them
defying the science of scholars.
Next challenge: wild, singular, dogwood, music, umbrella, spiralling.
Political ambition for power vs. the sciences of reality to its breaking point :( Well done :)
Challenge: wild, singular, dogwood, music, umbrella, spiraling
A Song of Eternity
Under the umbrella of a stolid Dogwood
tree, beneath its pink blossoms one by
one spiraling down upon me, I, seemingly
alone in the wilderness 'cept a singular
Sonoran blue butterfly searching nearby
for the Canyon liveforever to perpetuate
its species - I heard it lift up its tiny voice:
the sweetest music this side of eternity

Challenge accepted!
(Some problematic aspect afflicting the sign of Skorpios) Both our presidents are similarly beset by congress)
Do we now have seven words?
The vole
Vole, vole
Play your role
After all
You aren' t a mole.
Lit the candelabra
In the hole
Traverse the hollow
In a gingham
And the river in a canoe.
Hide in a monster flat
Meet a companionable rat
Don't taste life 's pungency
Vole, vole, etc.

Challenge: along, gate, lawn, histrionic, donkey, listen, history
The Magnificent Maggiore
a donkey would sidle along an old rough hewn
fence to a gate near a lawn where an orchestra
often played and listen most intently - when as
soon as it heard Richard Strauss' Don Quixote,
Opus 35, Maggiore, it would become histrionic
and bray and bray and bray incessantly - seems
it had something to do with its family history

Tableaux
A brook beside a meadow
under a bright, sunny sky.
Behind the meadow a cozy arbor.
Sitting in front
a youth in a green hunting suit
plays the flute.
Beside him a single sunflower
lifts its opulent head
skywards.
