Ergo, the Ogre

A large, sprawling oak tree with thick branches covered in green moss, surrounded by lush greenery in a natural setting.

Today’s writing prompt at MindLoveMisery’s Menagerie is Opposing Forces. We must use the following antitheses in our writing:

– whisper and shout

– humid and dry

yet, you whisper them sweetly

— those cruel, ugly words —

that shout at

the tender places of my heart

too often

your hateful ways make me

wish I were deaf

Our love, once sublime

has sublimated like dry ice

on a humid day.

    I’ve had boyfriends like that…
    Cool painting.
    Thankfully I haven’t needed to be in the dating pool for a loooong time.
    But we(I) can still write about those memories…

      I’d rather eat dirt than go through the dating nonsense again. It does make some good grist for the mill though!
