Devereaux Frazier and Beth Amanda are currently hosting the Tuesday Writing Prompt Challenge which was started by our star writer Christine Ray. We hope to offer all of you something that will spark your creativity and willingness to participate.
The prompts are designed to be quick challenges that can be written in 10 to 15minutes, inspire you creatively, are fun, and get everyone interacting. Please post your response to the prompt in the comments below and show your fellow posters some love and support. All members of the Go Dog Go community, including Baristas, are welcome to participate. Feel free to share this post on your own blogs and/or Facebook.
Today’s prompt—use the words beneath the surface in a pice of poetry

Thanks for the lovely prompt!
Beyond Our Control
Beneath the surface of the night
the daylight is hiding.
I saw it disappear
as the sun sank
beneath
the straight line of the horizon.
It’s still there somewhere,
hiding here
but showing itself
shining roundly
somewhere else
in a different place,
a different hemisphere.
That’s how it works
this day and night business
that’s in control,
that tells the flowers
when to close up their petals
and the animals to sleep
and dream.
Every day
it happens,
a shining
sinking
miracle
hiding
beyond our control.

The girl with the nervous tics,
She seemed the easy target.
He would fool her with his smile.
Or so he thought.
Radient,
Seductive,
Practiced.
But he didn’t know,
That beneath the surface,
Lay a queen trained for cards.
But he was none the wiser.
Until he watched his chips crumble,
And her smile begin to rise.

Fingers playing
Under the sheets
Minds entwined
Where love greets
Itself. With skin
Two heartbeats
Within
Tap out a tune
That soon
Becomes a melody
For you and me
Perfectly matched
We have barely scratched
With those fingers
What lingers
Beneath the surface

Sea
of
turquoise
clear waters
nacreous flashes
of pink, midnight blue, and coral
lie beneath the surface, glimmering like precious jewels.
