Loving Nature

He smiled, sweet and kind

He walked, light and fast

I lifted my head, and found mistletoe

I kissed him softly under fake snow

We could hear people gasping, and the music

We could smell the ginger in the cookies

We could taste the cream and apple and wine

But all we could feel was each other

And the loving nature of a beating heart

Challenge

One knock

How do you make children laugh, when

Adults weep and chase 'em around?

Lies and candy and mischievous sounds and

Loads of toilet paper flying around

One knock is all it takes, before

Witches and vampires and politicians beg

Eager to get some treats or fun, or

Eggs will be all over your dear home

Never refuse sweets to any rowdy child

HALLOWEEN is not for the weak of heart

Challenge

Te quiero // I love you

La manera en que sonrie

Y piensas que todo va a estar bien

La forma en que suspira

Cuando se quita los zapatos al llegar a casa

La manera en que te mira

Cuando tus ojos encuentran los suyos

La forma en que camina

Lentamente, como para no espantarte

La manera en que te besa

En movimientos suaves y dulces y eternos

La forma en que dice "Te quiero"

Y realmente lo dice en serio

//Translation to English (Note: the term "Te quiero" can't really be translated to English. The closest translation would be "I love you", altough the original phrase is kind of in between "I appriciate you" and "I love you".) //

The way he smiles

And you think everything will be fine

The way he sighs

When he takes off his shoes when he gets home

The way he looks at you

When your eyes find his

The way he walks

Slowly, so as not to scare you

The way he kisses you

In gentle and sweet and eternal movements

The way he says "I love you"

And he really means it

Colors Of The Rainbow(And So On)
Write a poem using any nine colors. If you need an example I have written a poem, which is actually the reason I started this challenge so you can check it out if you would like. But you can use the colors in any way as long as there is nine of them. It can even be monochromatic, you can use the same color but different shades. Get creative!

Ephemeral

Her blood was green

As the leaves she saw from her window

Her hair was orange

As the butterfly emerging from the cocoon

Her eyes were golden

As the sand in the mercyless desert

Her smile was blue

As the ice floting peacefully in the sea

Her skin was violet

As the grapes slowlly transforming into wine

Her tears were grey

As the clouds before a storm

Her laugh was pink

As the dimonds, formed under pressure

Her heart was black

As the never-ending well near her house

Her soul was red

As the apple stolen from her garden

She was life, she was new and she was unsparing

She was sharp, she was change and she was wild

She was tough, she was caring and she was fair.

Above else, she was ephemeral.

Ephemeral, she was.

My first Fall challenge and this one is simple.
The challenge is simple enough … 5 lines where each line starts in order of the vowels – a-e-i-o and u. Tag me in the comment box so I can find and read your work ... @Danceinsilence ... "Fall is upon us all. Leaves fall, people fall. Through it all we stand tall."

Value

Among all the things I love

Especially the ones I hate

Including the ones I've lost

On top of the list, is you

Under you, is me
