Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts
Kathleen-613's creation for my blog

"Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself."
CHARLIE CHAPLIN


Blog City image small

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

David Whyte

This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts.

Prompt: Have fun with these words: Deserve, desperate, designs, degrees, determine and anxiety.

=====

With her fear rising
to *desperate *degrees
the cat jumps on my lap
with a plea, "Meow, meow
pyrotechnics are getting to me"

thus, with steady nerves and no mistake
I *determine a path of peace
we both *deserve, but ouch!
*anxiety and meows overtake
the *designs of fate, for a while

so I pray to heavens not to be late
to let fireworks end, and though
I'm bold, lo and behold, about eleven
the chaos settles, and we're okay, and
now it is us, woman and cat at play
