for the fertile crescent in the desert
crescent moon changing my tune
crescent smiling when I touch
crescent rocking into crescendo
crescent of your arms at rest

Just a great feel beginning to end with this Sunday 160. Thank you for choosing to post your creative thoughts through my little microfiction.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget those fresh from the bakery crescent croissants that always make me smile, too! Seriously though, I enjoyed the love infused in your micro fiction.
ReplyDeleteCrescent, like Mother's open arms.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!
ReplyDeleteI Bow to the Queen.....:-)
lovely 160.
ReplyDeleteImpressively spontaneous in effect, in spite of being written within rather rigid constraints. And the repetition works very well.
ReplyDeleteLovely reflection. It could work as a song, I think.

ReplyDeleteOne day I will become less verbose unless of course someone starts a prompt day of "write something longer than 300 words in free verse octet form."
