Beneath autumn smoke
burnt offerings stain the snow
winter keeps the bones

Inspired by 1 of the 6 prompts behind #ISmellToast. Not everything that burns turns to ash.

The first bite tasted of regret.
The second, unpaid bills.
By the third, I understood
why the wealthy were so bland.

The poet, however,
was deliciously unstable.

Inspired by 1 of the 6 prompts behind #ISmellToast. Curious what else is on the menu?

Inspired by #OddChallenge and one of the six prompts behind #ISmellToast. Some limits deserve to be crossed.
