Last day of PAD!

Topic for PAD #30, against all odds

I Write Against All Odds
 
All around, above and below
Poets abound, writers that glow.
My simple words I humbly submit
Less eloquently, I have to admit,
Than bards of the past and those in the present
With talent so fair and imagery pleasant.
But I'll ne'er give up on my writing dream
I'll keep at the craft, improving with steam!


And here is my sensational haiku wednesday, absence

Absence of color
Spots skin with patches of white
Vitiligo's curse

I feel like a freak
Ignore the glances and stares
Ever self conscious

But it could be worse
It's only aesthetic, at
Least I have my mind.

Ribbon of Dusk

I've been missing Aheila's drabble prompts, but this week it fits with my PAD #29, two for Tuesday - Daytime & Evening for a poetic ribbon drabble.

Dusk

That moment between
Light and darkness
Beautiful sight

Ribbon of pink and orange hues
Separates the day
From the night

Sun still blazes, through
Cloud hazes, evening
Fireplace ignite

Days' hours grow shorter
Nights grow colder
Cozy up tight

kick start Monday

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving (if you did it). I also wish well to those winding down the NANO writing! I am behind in revisions as expected, but am feverishly trying to catch up and finish. I have 3 days and 70 pages. No problem! (ha ha, we'll see).

Coming up...

• Friday! I have a guest post by Nicki Elson and a review of her gnarly book, 3 Daves!
• Glad the Insecure Writer's Support Group isn't until NEXT Wednesday (12/7) cause I'm totally not prepared!
• And I recently joined the Deja Vu blogfest instigated by DL Hammons on Friday, 12/16. In which we repost BC posts (before comments) Should be fun!

I needed some divine inspiration so here is my PAD #27 - a tribute

And here are a few more pics from DW 2011:
