Mama Kat's Assignment

It's assignment time from Mama Kat. I chose to do 3.) “What images inspire you immediately? Open a magazine and create a piece of writing (poem, story, essay) about the first image that captures your imagination.” (inspired by writingfix.com)

The only change is I don't have any magazines so I used an image that I came across while working on a college collage project.

Deception

From a distance you looked

so warm and inviting, calling

me to come and bath in the sun's

warm glow.

I could use the rest and the calm

that it offered, so eagerly I

went to lay claim to my spot

to refurbish my soul.

But what is this! you lied.

I can't lie here, I can't trust

that I won't get hurt.

I'll bleed and once I am down

I won't be able to get up.

I should retreat, find another

but maybe I could just get use

to the prick and the pain.
