In the contest for
Bling,
He will certainly
Win.
In the roll call for
Glamour,
He will rise above
Clamor.
In the race for the
Best
He’s the most smartly
Dressed.
As cool temple guards
Go
He’s the top of the
Show.

So your car
Not feel blue
Add an eyelash
Or two.

As cold wind blows
And worries grow,
Squirrel away
Soul sustenance
And stash fresh hope.
As harsh congeals
And harm leans close,
Squirrel away
Good words of heart:
They’ll help you cope.

Little feet
Crossing stones
Little hand
Holding phone.
Do his toes
Marching on
Note how time
Isn’t gone?
Does his heart
Understand
How the stream
Breathes calm
Underneath
His young mind,
Singing songs
Burbling home?

The soft brown curls
Sweetly turned back
Away from images
She’ll track
As she grows older
And discovers
Mirrored reflections
Of her self
And others.

In the corner of sunlight
And painted leaves dancing bright
Sparkle water
And bridges
Flowing through
Life’s insight.

The rain pelts
Bubbled blue
Over the pool’s
Turquoise hue.
Water drops
Dance tempo
Drenched above
As below.

They emerge deep at night
To play tunes out of sight
Giants, trolls, hoards of sprites
To the bridge they alight
Where they’ll sing till first light.
If you listen, you might
Catch a tune fleeting bright
Ode to sax stuck upright.

There’s much more to New York City
Than the bustle of Times Square
But “The Crossroads of the World” is quite likely
Recognizable anywhere.
Even the New York Police Department
Is fittingly lit in neon lights
Its bold, large letters dwarfed by billboards
That chase the day into the night.

This post begins what I’m trying on as a new twist on an old idea — I will be utilizing Merriam-Webster’s lovely Word of the Day, as my (hopefully daily) inspiration a-la the “Daily Prompt.”
Miss The Daily Post and want to join me in this experiment? Feel free to link to this post on your blog, and/or post a link to your blogpost in the comment section below so others can enjoy it, too. For more visibility, tag your post with #WordOfDayNY, so your post can be searchable.
“Follow” me if you want to receive future prompts, or just pop in when you’re looking for inspiration. Here’s to the fun of writing and our ever-evolving blogging community!

If one door
Has shut
On a path
Not yet over,
Opportune ways
May become
The future’s
Treasure trover.
