A world of five - seven - five. At one time daily, now kind of sporadic.

This week's theme: Global Warming

Is it happening?
Will the temperatures rise
On a global scale?

Will the ice shelf melt?
Slowly raising sea levels
To dangerous heights?

This week's theme: Blood Letting

Countess Bathory
Bathed in the blood of virgins
Many girls slaughtered

She believed their blood
Would bring her eternal youth
So she killed and killed

(Eventually the King of Hungary ordered an investigation, her servants were found as accomplices and executed. The Countess was put under house arrest and she died insane.)

This week's theme: Blood Letting

In more ancient times
Leeches were used to draw blood
Releasing spirits

And yesterday's cause I forgot:
Bram Stoker's vampire
In real life, he was twisted
Vlad the Impaler

The needle sinks in
But misses the vein again
Aim true, stupid nurse!

This week's theme: Introspection

I see potential
Looking into the mirror
Reflections abound

Possibilities
Unrealized and waiting
To come to the fore

This week's theme: Introspection

Inner reflection
Of the past, present, future
And that which must change
