Carpe Diem Prompt from Ese, as a Ghost Writer.

Sensual

by the hearth

a warm breeze sways

her loin cloth

2

I crave this

feathery touch of tongues

all night long

Evening Lull. Prompt on Carpe Diem

Evening Lull

by the fireside
kids’ sweet birdie chatter fill
mother’s cooking pot
 

Evening Lull (2)

warm evening lull
love brew in African pot
mama’s tasty meals
 
Evening Lull (3)
 
cool evening lull
gentle whispers of the trees
make soothing music
