One Liner Wednesday – Full of Air
The makers of snacks have us over a barrel. We know, and they know, that every time we put down a lot of money for a bag of their potato chips, they will always win the gamble of how many chips will actually be in the bag. When did you last open a bag of chips and think, wow! Look at all the chips I got in this bag. Unfortunately chips are not something you can rustle up quickly yourself for a snack or make as a grab and go item for a lunch box. They have us where they want us …. Addicted!
For Linda G. Hill’s One Liner Wednesday
The Air That I Breathe
The Air That I Breathe
Breathing tentatively taking in air slowly Allowing oxygen to travel to the brain Steadying, remembering Words form on quivering lips and the sound of a shaky voice fills the dark and vacant room Coming slowly at first but as air is taken deep into lungs The monochrome space becomes technicolor and I am muzzled no more Copyright © 2022 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Sarah is hosting D’Verse Poets tonight and she has promoted us with the four elements, Fire, Air, Water and Earth.

Haiku Damp morning air hangs In a wet blanket of tears Shed in sleepless nights Copyright © 2020 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved
Innocent
Her perfume redolent
in the night air
as she walked
to the water
alone
with ne’er a care
What was blue
had become black
with no warning
In a heartbeat
she had been knocked
on her back
Without substance
an accusation held
Lies spread
in wildfire
her dignity at risk
she was compelled
His rebuke cruel
and unfounded
confrontation inevitable
Waiting by the shore
calm and present
his demeanor unbounded
Confusion existed
stretching distance between
Eyes locked
apology offered from
him to her
she began to careen
Caught in his arms
was a natural state
The darkness lifted
memory vanished
in a flash
like it never existed

Word Prompts:
Sea – Haikai
Sea sand and sunshine
Calling me to the coastline
To breathe the fresh air
So salty and refreshing
Vacation away from here
