Writing Prompt: June 22 - "Too Much Peace"

Is there such a thing

as too much peace?

Is an amount of hardship

necessary for satisfaction?

When things are too easy

where's the excitement in victory?

When everyone's in agreement

where's the different viewpoint?

When life is going great

why do I look for challenge?

There is such a thing

as too much peace.

We crave the conquer....

Writing Prompt: June 14 - "Write an elegy about the death of something other than a person."

So full of energy

Always right there beside me

We shared a home, a bed, a life

I remember when we first met -

You showed up on my front porch

and you've been with me ever since

I wept the day you shut down

never to power up again

RIP: Samsung A50...
