This week’s prompt ‘top and light’ from Ronovan gave me an opportunity to try different story lines and I settled for these two eventually.
She knows he’s at home.
Light streams out of his apartment window
that’s on the top floor
Looking up as she dials
she sees his silhouette in the light
and another without her top
Thoughts race through her mind
like light, they flit by so fast
who’s the other topless lady?
**
I crawled to the top
of the dark, dingy and scary pit
into the brightest of lights.
Below is my first just published Poetry Book “Out of the silent breath” which is available on Amazon and Smashwords.
When you buy my book, you support me in an invaluable manner.
From the very first poem, “Dreams,” this book captivates with passionate and perceptive words. Jacqueline Oby-Ikocha captures a broad expanse of the human experience in this book of richly layered poems.
What a contrast in the two story lines but amazing haikus! Where one almost breaks your heart, other seems to be an inspiring one…

love the stark contrast of the two lovely poems, JacQ~
Just a gentle note on this line: ‘she see’s his silhouette in the light’. you might mean sees instead of see’s? 🙂 ❤
