Someday, after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love. Then for the second time in the history of the world, we will have discovered fire.

Your Daily Word Prompt – Characteristic – April 13, 2019
The Haunted Wordsmith Opposites Attract & Elemental Writing Challenges
Opposites Attract: For this challenge, I provide one word and a list of its antonyms. The challenge is to use the prompt word AND one (or more) of its antonyms in some form of writing (or creative work).
Today’s word: grand.
Antonyms: humble, unheroic, unimposing, unimpressive.
Elemental Writing: For this challenge, we will explore one of the four elements: air, earth, water, fire. This week’s focus is Fire. Simply use the word and/or image provided and be inspired by the natural element.
Today’s prompt and image: desire
Characteristic of many failed relationships
and too many broken hearts
are the ones that begin
with a lustful desire
that burns like a fire
deep within the body’s senses
an inferno that is deceitful
causing one to lose their common senses
and start believing they’re “in love”…
Grand it can be while it lasts
fulfilling empty needs until it’s not enough
and becomes a smoldering ember
that humbles the desperate lovers
into feeling like fools for believing
lust is love when it is actually death.

The Haunted Wordsmith Elemental Writing Challenge April 11, 2019
For this challenge, we will explore one of the four elements: air, earth, water, fire. This week’s focus is Fire. Simply use the word and/or image provided and be inspired by the natural element.
Today’s prompt and image: smoking:
This fire that burns around
the black hole of my soul
incinerates the aches and pains of
a family love I never came to know
turning them into the death of ashes and dust
to be left in the abyss of space and time
never to return to me again leaving
only the sweet smoking incense of healing
an aroma that fulfills a vacated ache knowing
there is now only a peace from what never was.

Willow Poetry Tuesday Weekly Challenge April 2, 2019 – What Do You See?
Write a post on your own blog. Your choice of Poetry, Stories, whatever you see/feel about this photo.
In the ebony night sky
two lightning bolts come
together in search of each other
to become one accord…a
magnificent power of
fierce force igniting
the all Consuming Fire
traveling in the clouds
for all to be awestruck
with a reverence to enlighten…
God has spoken.
