Sweet as honey

May 17, 2013January 17, 2015 ~ Tara R.

bees on pink milkweed

Lies, sweet as honey,
Drip from her sanguine lips.
Lies that loop through your brain
Like a bad love song,
To finally lodge, heavy as a stone,
Underneath your heart,
Cold and immovable.

The Trifextra challenge this weekend is: 33 words, 30 of your own and three of the following: topple, paradigm, **underneath**, nerve, **honey** and/or **loop**

If you keep hearing it over and over again maybe it really won’t be a lie. One of the best so far.

I loved this, and especially the bee, preparing to produce more honey! I too, find inspiration or illustration for my writing, in photography. I don’t know what comes first for you, the chicken or the egg, but it works!

  Whenever I have a writing prompt, I always go to my photo library for an accompanying image. Many times, if I don’t know how I want to use the prompt, the photo sparks an idea.
  
  It definitely is a ‘chicken/egg’ kind of thing.
