Curse Breaker | Queen of All Trees

Melinda Kucsera

Curse Breaker | The Queen of All Trees Something tied the Child of Magic to the mountain and that tie refused to allow him to leave it. The Queen of All Trees tested its tensile strength and found the tie to be stronger than it. Each link was a promise forged in magic and blood. It led back to an unexpected source—a small child. The Child of Magic had a child of his own. Not well versed in humans, the Queen of All Trees flipped through memory’s pages seeking the truth. It found a sixteen year old boy and a … Continue reading Curse Breaker | Queen of All Trees

Curse Breaker | Stupefied

Melinda Kucsera

Curse Breaker | Stupefied A keening sound startled Nolo and gave him a direction. He rushed off towards the source. He found Sarn staring at a broken child not two hundred paces away from the previous murder site. His hands shook where they remained suspended halfway between himself and the boy. Horror had shut off his reasoning. Beyond the child lay a dozen men, women and children all dead. They’re bodies had not been ripped apart or in anyway despoiled. Nolo noted all that in a quick glance before returning his attention to his stricken charge. The dead could wait … Continue reading Curse Breaker | Stupefied

Curse Breaker | Discovery

Melinda Kucsera

Curse Breaker | Discovery Passing between two trees, whose boles each had to be over a hundred feet in diameter, he froze. Bodies lay in a small clearing—or what was left of them. The stench hit Sarn full in the face as the wind, which had picked up over the last mile of his hike, shifted. He gagged, doubled over and retched. Sarn started as a hand landed on his shoulder. “You okay, Kid?” “I’m not a kid.” Sarn shot back as he forced the bile back down. “I’m twenty—” “I know,” Nolo gave Sarn’s shoulder a squeeze and then let … Continue reading Curse Breaker | Discovery

They might be Senryus

Melinda Kucsera

These might indeed be Senryus or some other species of micro poems. I just read three mystery/thrillers (audio books of course) back to back while cleaning house/walking/cooking/photoshopping etc and for some reason that led me to write these.  Go figure. Seventeen lifetimes he sat, in prison, scribbling wisdom on cell blocks Parted lips drip gold gold flecks smeared to make her bold she laughs, gold flashes Stars alight attract lovers with star-shot wishes their hopes soar space-wards Lovers who obsess future’s fate’s their obsession now’s not their concern Jealousy’s green eye casts itself on all around sees imagined faults Security woos … Continue reading They might be Senryus

Goodnight – A Senryu?

Melinda Kucsera

Goodnight (Quite possibly a series of senryus) Let night break gentle on your brow and wipe away cares as it enfolds. Toss your wishes high so like the stars they scatter and night might gather. Night holds your wishes in its pocket, kept there safe ’till day unlocks it. Sleep now, wish no more let cares slide between the boards as bright dreams take wing. Let sunlight hold you; no nightmare can behold you; sleep now, dreams shield you. Fly amid the stars where wishes made become true; wake to wish granted. Sunlight breaks gently on your brow and embraces dreams as it enfolds. Continue reading Goodnight – A Senryu?
