It bides,

waiting out of sight.

It hides in

quivering leaf

tearful cheek

passionate heart.

It burrows

into dark places’

shines

with glorious abandon,

lingers, longing for you to see.

Poetry.

Today’s http://www.napowrimo.net prompt is to address a poem or component of a poem.  I think the goal is to use apostrophe, but that’s not what I ended up with.  Will metaphor/personification do?

I am a question in disguise.

A taunting phrase

turned red herring, am I.

You’ll groan at me

while you roll your eyes.

So, I query you, dear: what am I?

Today’s prompt from http://www.napowrimo.net is to write a riddle, in keeping with the mystery of 13.  Not suffering from triskaidekaphobia, I offer this, with my tongue FIRMLY in cheek.  😉
