I hold my breath

and look around.

Nature has sure

made it rounds.

Chilly winds

and chances of snow.

How beautiful is the

sky’s January glow.

Love in the air

and winds dialing down.

The beauty of February

will keep you in town.

March madness

is breaking out.

Soon saplings

Will start to sprout.

Spring-y clothes

and beautiful flowers.

Starting April

and the beginning of peaceful showers.

Last d...

**CALLIOPE**

“I saw the whole thing.”

I turn to his voice.

“What?” I ask, staring at his appearance. I examine him with confusion.

His blonde hair is all over the place and rather fluffy, and his eyes are filled with tears. He looks at me with a tired expression.

“Asher, what happened?”

“Ask yourself, Cal.”

I hate that his voice breaks so much.

Behind my back

and to my face,

you just love to attack

those you call a disgrace.

I have ears,

you know.

Words can cause tears,

so stop being so low.

I’ve been here,

I offered you my hand.

But, you became insincere

and started to demand.

I’m sad to say

we used to be friends.

Don’t go back to asking “are you okay?”

We both know it’s pretend.

Badmouthing is your specialty

I saw the whole thing. I saw her jump off of that twenty story building. I saw her plummet and hit the ground. I saw the blood splatter and heard her bones crack. I heard the screams and cries from the people on the streets and her mother sobbing from the balcony. I saw the red and blue flashing lights and heard the loud sirens throughout the city. I saw everything. I saw the tears, the sobbing, a...

I saw the whole thing…

The way he looked over at her.

The way he smiled,

And touched her hand.

I stood beside the classroom,

One foot on the wall.

Other planted firmly.

I watched, arms crossed.

Eyebrow raised.

He didn’t see me.

Good.

I slid away, clicking my tongue.

Went to class, sat down.

And began my plan.

Again, after class,

he walked her away.

I watched, silently.

Waiting.

(A combo of two different prompts)

I watched as the little girl walked onto the stage. The music began to play

But admist the roaring applause

A silent tear feel

Reflecting the untold story

That she could never tell

As I watched the tear slide down her cheek

I noticed her small smile

I could read the pain in her eyes

I could tell that she loved every moment

But the pain was to much to bare

Sh...

“I saw the whole thing!”😱

“Saw what?”👀

“Ya’know… when you took underwear 🩲 and wore it on your head screaming that there was a woman, named James. And that women shouldn’t have boyish 🤵‍♂️names. Then you said that you needed me to feed your pet rhino 🦏 and scratch you itch on you forehead because your hands where the size of a t-Rex.🦖”

“What the f-“❓

“Language! Damn!🤬”

“What?😵‍💫”

“I saw the whole thing!” Ember squealed after closing the storage closet door. “I saw you and the mayor’s son making lip on lip contact! You can’t deny it now!”

“Shh!” I put my finger to her lips, my heart wildly beating in my chest. “Do you want the entirety of Luton Hollow to hear you?”

“Sorry,” she giggled. “But come on, you have to tell me everything!”

“Ok, I will! But you better promise no...

“I saw the whole thing!”My nosey neighbor exclaimed, pointing fingers in our direction.

As frail as she appeared, she holds her finger up with the strength of her judgemental eyes.

“Saw what?” I say keeping my tone neutral.

There was only one way to get out of this and that was by gaslight girlbossing my way to freedom. Usually, I’m better at dodging Mrs. Simmons with her vacuum-like eyes rea...

“I saw the whole thing,” I sobbed into the camera as reporters crowded around me.

There had been a brutal murder in the building, and I unfortunately was the only witness. A slim shadow in a grey hoodie had slipped into a cubicle in my office building, ending a life with not so much as a backwards glance and slipping back out through the fire escape.

“I saw the whole thing,” I repeated, tears ra...
