my fourth entry to the sky-ku challenge. I kind of love that the title has more syllables than the poem 😂

Thou Shalt Not Set Fire to a Nunnery
"You're going to have to help me move the body." Julie stood in the doorway to my room, which was a cell really, and she was as close to breathless as I'd ever seen her. She looked dashing in the moonlight, and lit up with the glow of adventure.

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.

lol! great entry.
This is gorgeous, LC. And humor still - ...the title has more syllables than the poem' 😁
Beautiful, and saturated with nostaliga! Love this one, L.C!
This is gorgeous. Light, airy, delicate, and sparkly with nostalgia.
I love the use of deep time to express longing for lost childhood in this one!
This feels very peaceful for me! Great work LC!
Brilliant and stunning! Loved the fingertip imagery!
Lovely words!
So cute & I love the title & subtitle 🤣.
This is a wonderful piece. Well done.
This along with Cathy’s recent piece need to be in the winners circle, 🥰🥰😍👏👏👏🏅
What a wondrous thought and haiku! Well done.
A wintry masterpiece, LC.
They do appear closer than they are, I love love love the title. It’s fun and it caught my eye. This reminds me of a child, getting excited by the little things, finding this big celestial sphere such a wonder to look at. That it could be possible to reach out and take a single star from the sky. I like that you drew the mind to the fingertip that is now frozen pink. Then you took it a step further and zoomed the sky out. That was clever, very thoughtful and creative.
All full of wonder.
