Trust – not just Yorkshire for “the red stuff that eats metal”

Total trust implies one must
remove all doubt that remains about
untold plans or secret spans
some past betrayals can last
that give cause for us to pause

Written for Day 3 of the WordPress Writing 201: Poetry challenge. This called for using the prompt 'trust', the form 'acrostic' and the device 'internal rhyme'

Commuting Today?

Commuter trains go clickety clack
up and down the trickety track
except when it snows
or leaves the wind blows
then you can’t get there or back

This is today's effort for the WordPress Writing 201 challenge - incorporating the prompt Journey, the form Limerick and the device Alliteration.

Puddles

Rain puddles outside
are like distorting mirrors
with ripple effects

This is my first haiku. Written for day 1 of the WordPress Writing 201 Poetry challenge. Each day the challenge presents a prompt, a poetic form and a device. Today these were water, haiku and simile.
