Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

Burning in Plain Sight

as we spin a tale

the beauty of youth turns foul

burning in plain sight

Thanks to Colleen’s Poetry Challenge for the opportunity to shout into the wind about climate change!!

Today’s challenge was to write a poem using synonyms for the two challenge words. I used “beauty” for pretty and and “foul” for ugly.

  Thanks Teresa! I’ve been a bit MIA the last few weeks. It felt good to write something not work related.
