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 the dVerse Poets Pub is the word, tranquility.

In the tranquil, sweet

heart of the night

and the only other

sounds are dried oak leaves

tickling the sidewalk,

the most beautiful words

in the world

are the ones formed

by your lips and whispered

to me —

just me,

and no one else.

Long-range goals include visiting Israel, the Czech Republic and Liechtenstein. Susan is also planning to launch a micronation which would be called either Suzannistan or Eastern Suzanorovia.

    Indeed the most beautiful words are whispered by the one you love.
