Sandwich Cookies

My saliva gushed out by looking at the macadamia nuts shortbread, strawberries, and marshmallow sandwich cookies. I could eat them for breakfast. They are not too sweet, but eating them late would keep me awake.

My daughter Mercy’s baby is arriving any minutes by now. I still remember back in March when we skyped and talked with each other. Mercy and Will showed us the ultrasound film. We made a virtual hug at the end. The joy of parenthood, the wonder of bringing a new life into this word were so overwhelmed. Mercy has been excited and celebrated the process by capturing the moments in photos. The family and community are so enthusiastic and supportive. This gives them a firm assurance and confidence.

Song of lullaby

Watching baby’s sleepy eyes

Overwhelming joy

Parents’ faces radiate

Gift of fulfillment resides

Weekend Writing Prompt #17 – Emptiness

Prose Challenge – Write a 50-word story inspired by the image above.

Poetry Challenge – Write a haiku on the theme of “emptiness”. – Sammi Cox

Caged in and dared not touch the screen for fear of electrical shots caused by piercing words. The sun looked bright with warmth and freedom, yet desires were suppressed. His eyes were dark, black, and bottomless with emptiness. Satisfied his craziness was impossible. Legal bondage was dissolved, no more cage.

Unmeasurable

Deep void of heart’s emptiness

Refuse fulfilment
