Couplets of Collusion #85

Maleficent Mage

his staff of gold threw tendrils down the hall
at once the lightning blinded them like Saul

Couplets of Collusion #84

within his coat, a pistol just in case

Snapped Rope

from high above the clouds his fall began
he licked his lips and dreamed of tuna cans

translucent shine the gems of emerald hill
their destiny's controlled with strength of will
