Tissue; So Close but Out of Reach

Tissue; So Close but Out of Reach

A Tanka

Cramped, I feel standing 

In the subway car freezing 

Can’t reach my pocket 

Nose running; I need Kleenex 

On lapel mucous escaped

Hope you enjoy Tissue: So Close but Out of Reach. Written in response to David’s W3 Prompt #141, Wea’ve Written Weekly prompt.

For anyone who has ever been on the subway and knows how tightly packed and crowded it is will understand. You can hardly move, nonetheless, reach into your pocket at the moment you need to the most. 😄

Thank you for reading!

Your Seeing Eyes

Your Seeing Eyes

Your Seeing Eyes

When you look around, what is in your view?
Is the vicinity one of beauty or chaos
Depending on how your eyes see can determine
Your feelings about the surroundings
A state of bliss brings beauty
Misery is a state that brings out chaos
Tell me what your eyes see.

Your Seeing Eyes is written in response to a prompt by Sammi Cox. The challenge is to write an original piece using the word vicinity in exactly 50 words.
