First Woman
In the speed of light
Words spill from her mouth
Chants form and
Are heard as she drones
Circling around her
Caught in the crooks of trees
Where they hang
Limp and lifeless
Old time broken
Emerge from the cave
Vows uttered below her breath
The rising sun illuminates
Bindings drawn tight
Hands clenched into fists
Defiant
She claims full rights
As a human

Prompt: At Real Toads__ Violet. http://withrealtoads.blogspot.com/2013/05/sunday-mini-challenge-violet.html
Violet
Today the 12th of May
I have chosen blue
Pure blue
Ultramarine blue
With small additions of purple
I shall see
The blue turn to blue violet
To violet
Mystery in its’ color
A tale of morning sky
Mountains
And sorrow
Cowboys ride below
Sailors sail upon
Singing shanty songs
Little girls with ribbons
In their hair
Flying behnd
Aviators fly above
Violet all around
Picking blackberries
With my Grandmother
Violet stains on my dress
And finger tips
Dripping from my lips
Tempting snakes
Memories abound
