Midget Monday #5

Happy Monday!

Remember, you can submit your poetry and stories to me by the end of Tuesday, November 17 to get them included in a special post on Wednesday or Thursday. :)

What is Midget Monday?

Midget Monday is a weekly post containing one micro-poem (~6 lines or less) and one "micro" story (~300 words or less). Poems and stories may sometimes share a theme, but will usually be two random, mismatched topics. I may also build more upon any of the poems or stories that I use in these posts, so you might see these (or something similar) again in the future!

Micro-Poem

Burning Sky

Vermilion streaks, blazing high

As I gaze upon this burning sky;
Ashen rain - we lose, we gain,

So goes the cycle of pride and pain.

Micro-Story

The Gift

Given years ago, no strings attached. Of kindness and generosity, and out of love. Worth little in money, worth everything in sentiment. An item with value visible only to the receiver. Taken everywhere, never forgotten.
