It’s been a long 36 hours but now I can relax.

Life’s opposite death
Keeps track of life by sand grains
Life just flows away.
Diana Peach selected the image for this week’s photo prompt. It’s an image from Pixabay.com, compliments of “Pretty sleepy.”
Colleen says, “Remember, we can see what’s in the image, so write your poem using the image as an inspiration. Don’t just describe what you see in the image. Use your imagination. Open your third eye and see what’s behind the red door! Think about metaphor and allegory. Just remember to check what form you’re using. Some of the Japanese forms frown upon the use of metaphors.”
I have chosen an Etheree , a single one as I believe time is a thief and we are it’s slaves so this is a tale of one half. Yet you can read it from top to bottom or bottom to top.
Portal
So philosopher of many colours
We are your slaves, and so, bound to you.
Yes master of theft you steal time.
We stand outside the portal
Imagining what lies
Beyond the red doors
A Universe?
A planet?
Nothing?
Void?
Swaying in the wind root and branch.
Time dances endlessly along
Punctuated by song bird’s song
All is written noughts left to chance.
The Forrest sees all of life’s dance.
Nature likes to watch the eons chase.
Across her planet at such pace.
She knows her cycle will repeat
Winter’s bitter cold, Summer’s heat.
Nature is happy by God’s grace
It is Wednesday and time for Ronovanwrite’s Décima Challenge.
Time Slip

We slip through the portals of time.
Caught in different streams we pass
Always missing you it’s a farce.
I reach out flaying around blind.
I slip through your grasp, so unkind.
I’m lost in a linear loop
All the chickens have flown the coop.
Climbing down slowly knot by knot.
Connecting the lines dot by dot
Torn assunder by Satan’s troop
I reach for your hand
But slip though linear cracks
Lost in space and time.
Welcome to The Three Things Challenge.
For those of you unfamiliar with the challenge, every day Di at pensitivity101 lists three things that may, or may not, be related.
The challenge is to simply read the prompt and see where your creativity takes you, using one, two or all three words in your post. There are no restrictions regarding length, style, or genre apart from keeping it family friendly.
You can use the 3TC, #threethingschallenge or TTC as a tag and the logo if you wish
Your three things today are:
HOST
FUN
TIME
“Tonight your host is Ca Rona, she is delighted you could all come. She hopes you will have fun. Laughing, dancing, singing, smooching and kissing are the order of the night.
Ca has prepared all the food and drink for you to enjoy , every morsel touched by her personally.
So what’s the saying? Oh! Yes, ‘eat drink and be merry for tomorrow you die’ maybe not tomorrow but soon. Time is running out for you all.
Yes of course you can leave any time , go home to your families, go to work, go shopping, give everyone Ca Rona’s greetings. Tomorrow there’s a beach party your all welcome. Times a ticking …so is CA Rona.
Two sides to every story your actions have consequences.
For visually challenged writers, the image shows the ruined tower of a castle, seen through the cross-shaped window of another tower.
The Keep
Nature needs not straight lines
It is only man who craves those confines.
Nature fills the sky with grey and blue
And the earth below with many a hue.
Man builds his dwelling with straight sides
Using what mother provides.
The shape of a cross in a ruin’s walls
Looks to a tower as it crumbles and falls.
Where once an archer stood
Shooting his arrows , true and good.
Now is empty and only cold winds blow
Nature blurs the lines bring beauty were she goes.
We will never know what secrets sleep
Hidden within the castle’s keep.
Welcome to the Daily 2020 Just Jot it January Prompt and the Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt for SATURDAY, JANUARY 11TH! For those of you joining SoCS for the first time, it’s a little different than the other prompts in that it’s not always a whole word. Much may be left up to your discretion: this week is no exception. Having said that, if you’re joining in from JusJoJan, don’t want to write stream of consciousness style, no worries. It’s up to you! If you do want to try it, please check out the rules below. It’s fun! Here’s your Saturday prompt:
Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “the first 3 words of the first full sentence.” Okay, follow me here. This is what I want you to do: 1. Grab the closest book to you when you sit down to write your post. 2. Open it to a random page. 3. Locate the first complete sentence on that page. 4. Use the first three words of that sentence to start your post, then take it from there–write whatever comes to mind. That’s it! Have fun!
The week goes by
My how time flies
Not a second to yourself
To sit upon the shelf
Worry about your health
Or plan to make your wealth .
Day in day out
There really is no doubt.
That time will never stop
There’s no need to be in a strop
Time keeps you on the hop!
A ring of stones sleep
Serene are they in sweet dreams
Just part of the scene.
The secrets are kept
In this serene scene, all green
Gia’s blessings sleep.
These two Haiku are part of Ronovanwrite’s Weekly Haiku Challenge.
