Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Sky-scraping


1st draft

Skyscrapers are scary

& I’m not even afraid

Of heights – nor do I

Need a nightlight as

Darkness never ever

Gives me a fright, for

It’s the light which will

Leave me like autumn

Trees – dead yet oh~so

Pretty; so what. do Ey3

Really mean? what. B

oh~so scary about those

Skyscrapers – especially

To someone not afraid

Of dying since I have

Never been caught

Lying – what. terrifies

Me about skyscrapers

Is that looking down

It’s impossible to see

Anyone’s face nor race

Just how they all race

Like insects – ants

In my pants – annoying

That’s what unites them

All – at least from the eyes

For the first time – seeing

Their actually size – reflecting

Off of a magic mirror even öDD

Bugs can begin to recognize

    1. I had a whole comment typed out; about to hit send, but funnily enough, Life decided to make an example of my comment & erase everything. I guess it’s proof how Life really does like to give us unexpected twists at the Last moment; with no explanation, haha

        1. I feel that, haha. I’ve had to get used to my words disappearing from my head just because my memory has butterfingers, so I’m pretty good at letting go of that annoyance/disappointment that comes alongside losing good words. A silver lining is that I’ve noticed that if the words were actually any good, they tend to find their way back to me; & normally are even better looking

          1. Good point about words finding their back and even better than before. Sometimes, when I make a lengthy comment, I copy/paste into a word doc so it is not totally lost.
