For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, “drink,” I bought yummy, colorful juices and repurposed my candy mold as an ice tray. The drink photos did not go well. I made a terrible mess and I’m going to have to deal with a drunk alligator and zombie later, but I like how the candy pumpkin shots turned out. Making shots for a zombie, what was I thinking?

Today’s prompt is the bridge between goals and accomplishment. The 2018 prompt was “How Will I Know?” It recommended using poetry magnets. I haven’t played with mine in a while. Should be fun.
The dVerse Poet’s Pub prompt is the poetry form: compound word verse.
At the Water’s Edge
Aspiring to some acceptance
Breaking down my mind’s resisting
waterway
How will I know to take the leap?
I imagine kisses’ sweet
freshwater
After candy pumpkin shots and
warm-cheeked, heady, loose-lips demand
firewater
How will I know to go or stay?
After the bridge washes away
watershed
Is there a reward for rushing,
or a leftover brain-crushing
waterfall?
Good one, Maria, and most creative drinks!
Thank you.
I am ready for a drink like that, as long as it doesn’t turn you into zombie
Well done with the water words. Enjoy those drinks! 😀
Thank you.
You’re welcome!
I love your water approach to the compound words. Nicely done.
Love the way you used “water” …. great job on a tricky challenge.
Thank you. I was glad I was able to find a way to turn my disappointing “drink” photo attempts into inspiration for my poem.
Fun write, sounds like a hoot Maria! 🙂
This is a fun and well-written work. Unfortunately, it conjures up some bad memories for me. My ex-boyfriend assaulted me in the small hours of the morning following an ill-advised Halloween party that I had attended back in 1997. All these years later, my chest still gets tight when I recall.

I’m sorry to hear that you had such a traumatic experience associated with Halloween, but I’m glad you’re able to talk about it, and feel comfortable sharing it with me.
This looks like a lot of fun – making drinks for zombies and all! Love the combination of words and images. I hope your guests didn’t overstay their welcome…
