The Fallen Windmill

Scream of the wind howling in your ears
A friendship forged between cloud and sky
The windmill stands, a blender of air
Sensing something dangerous about to occur
Trying to formulate conclusions on what happens next

Suddenly struck with a brilliant flash
As if it were victuals for the energy beast
Blustery sound deafening for miles
Stone and steel buckle and fall
Penance paid for stirring the sky

Lightning strikes, it is a statistical fact
Yet as the crumbled ruined structure falls
A deer resembling Bambi scurries away from falling rock
An ancient construction project comes to an end
A sigh escapes your lips as you just watch

Today’s random twitter poem had a foreboding dark theme and told a story of a captive who finally breaks against his or her assailant.  Deliberately leaving the person and attacker ambiguous this could be a woman, man and the attacker could be human or non-human depending on whatever scenario your mind crafts from this poem.  Thanks to the following twitter followers for providing the 10 random words today (in blue):

@reginasuniverse (defiance), @wkossen (Wacko), @SurfCityJay (resume), @coyotesqrl (deviant), @jamiain (pickled), @uzziemom (sad), @Jan_Geronimo (thighs), @VOTS_Roads (spring), @BlazingMinds (inbox), @wizzardsblog (miniscule)

Prisoner

The unfathomable sad and simple truth
Held in containment like a pickled egg
Against your will shackled to a bed
Torture only to resume time and time again
By a twisted deviant wacko with a sadistic game
Scars marking your thighs like vicious trophies

Rising in defiance for the last time
You spring into action against this monster
Elbow striking your assailants throat
Knee finding a home in its belly
Your onslaught unrelenting your intent is clear
Kill or be forced to endure this endless cycle

Striking your fists more times than spam in an email inbox
Miniscule droplets of blood splattering the wall and floor
Your attackers face an unrecognizable pulp in moments
Your fingers wrap around its throat in one final gesture
A lifeless struggle and your heart lifts
Keys found and chains drop to the ground

You have fought and become free

Today’s random poem is a typical variation of the Boy meets Girl poem and was crafted by the 9 random words (in blue) provided by my twitter followers (butcher, deer, churn, lattice all helped my theme develop).  Thanks to:

@coyotesqrl (valley), @Dr_Dalek (lattice), @lejonprime (churn), @azredneck (deer), @Jan_Geronimo (butcher), @reginasuniverse (optimistic), @jamiain (annoying), @howelegant (Pontification), @Miragi (vapid)

The Butcher And The Baker

Carving meat from a fresh caught deer
A simple butcher who lives quite near

To a beautiful baker down the street
Whom he has always wanted to meet

Feeling optimistic that today is his day
Over to her bakery he decides to make his way

He steps through the door, feeling very shy
While she works finishing lattice topping on a pie

It starts with a greeting followed by small talk
Then later that evening the take a brisk walk

At first he thought she might find him annoying
But his company he learned, she was enjoying

Soon dividing his time between his butcher shop
And taking time to help her churn butter on top

Some people gossip about them with pontification
Others look upon the new couple with simple adoration

He brought forth all the courage he can muster
Now his life no longer vapid and lacking luster

In this valley town now, just down this simple street
Happiness is theirs both and their lives feel complete
