Three Things Challenge #941

Your three words today are:

OPEN

OPAQUE

OPAL

Misaligned 

He was an opal 

She was opaque

He was an open-book 

Close vest pocket was her take.

–

He shared his desires and dreams

She was tight-lipped of such things 

He wanted to be close

She required that he’d have wings.

–

He shared his love 

She held hers back 

He was non-maligned

While she would attack.

–

He softened his words

Whilst hers were harsh

He expressed how things felt 

She disappeared for Marche.

–

He tried to bridge the gap 

She spoke what he needn’t hear

His honesty, used against him

Her self-righteousness, a spear.

–

Foolishly he married her

Thinking she’d change 

It ended badly in divorce 

and that isn’t strange…

Your three words today are:

INDIGO

INGEST

INJURE

Indigo Skies 

The sky was indigo as the sun had long since disappeared.

Deep night quickly followed, so I proceeded with caution lest I injure myself.

As the purples faded, I ingested the darkness, welcoming it.

–

Starlight darkness is a beautiful world all in itself.

Moons, comets, galaxies, distant planets all participate in a dance of the night sky.

–

After I’ve had my fill of midnight wonder, I start to fade and go inside for a long awaited dream-filled rest…

Your three words today are:

ELUDE

ELUSIVE

EXCLUSIVE

Elusive Tercets 

I am not obtrusive

You’re just elusive 

Eluding is you play.

–

Is it abusive

Or your exclusive

To do it each day.

–

It’s not so conclusive 

For me to conduce it

Without any delay.

–

You’re not submissive

And I’m not dismissive

So let’s call it “touché”…

Your three words today are:

ATTEST

ALTITUDE

ANGLE

Mountain Night’s View 

I can attest 

To all the rest

That altitude

Is very best.

–

Atop mountains

Without curtains

Of air and light

Pollution, ends.

–

Maybe angles 

Reduce tangles

Of what we see

Glittered bangles.

–

Night sky’s buffet

Such a display

Starred galaxies 

All on parade…
