Thanks to Haiku Fridays with J-Dub. Each week, she posts a haiku and a photo to spark reflection, emotion, or imagination. This is mine.
spring
hope for my mind’s eye
dust fills my mind’s eye
conjuring a drab vista
as doubt smothers hope
tears transform the dust
a rainbow lifts the drab sky
and hope muddles doubt
I’m all about the ying/yang again today.
Our daily Three Things Challenge words are the following:
DUST
DOUBT
DRAB

a dance and an elegy (SenHai Saturday 50)
light dances at dawn
sound breaks free from the darkness
a new day’s promise
nature’s elegy
as crags are born from the sea
time erases all
I decided to embrace the ying / yang of our existence in this duo. It’s something I’m working on it life as well!
wishful thinking
properly mad
the top spins a tall tale
of a glittering lad
too great to fail
but great can be bad
and fake glitter corrodes
so properly mad
the foundation implodes
properly mad
the broken top tries to spin
but it wobbles and falls (SAD)
and finally We the People win
Thanks to FOWC for this chance to vent some wishful thinking in awkward verse.
To all participating in NO KINGS tomorrow, thank you and take care!
Feeding the Resistance: One Bunny at a Time
Why so glum?
Well … March came in like a lion, and it looks like it’s going out that way as well, not an effing lamb in sight; plus everything is so egregiously awful, how can you NOT be glum?
I just think about the Easter Bunny.
For crying out loud, you’re a full-grown person!
Which is why I’m focusing on the Bunny, because, as Cormac McCarthy said “…you fix what you can fix, and you let the rest go,” and for me, snapping the head off a solid-chocolate bunny sounds like the perfect way to let go while plotting the revolution.
Aaah … Vive la revolution and the Bunny!
It’s been awhile since I’ve written so thanks to the following for my inspiration.
