the valley hidden
we laugh as we reach the peak
denying our fate
Thanks for the inspiration to Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge
fate denied

Climate Storm v. Storm Windows
She wondered whether the storm windows would hold. They were meant to keep out bad weather, not … well whatever was falling from the sky. It was funny she used to think the end of the world would come later. After she was gone. Not when her dreams were finally within her grasp.
It wasn’t fair. She had done everything right. And now. Now the sky was literally falling.
Lost in thought, her mind barely registered the hissing as the bubbles burst through the window pane.
As the drops burned through her flesh, her mind screamed “It’s not fair!”
Thanks to Carrot Ranch for the inspiration for this 99 word story.
Climate change is real and it’s going to destroy us if we don’t change our path.
Disintegrate
Thanks to Freya for choosing another one of my haiku for her ‘disintegrate’ themed session. It’s an honor. Please visit Pure Haiku to read it as well as many other wonderful choices.
Dancing Fairies
When the fairies dance
joy fills the garden again
rousing sleeping worms
and bottom-dwelling dreamers
to bathe in the sparkling light
My thanks to the two different challenges that had me thinking about fairies and light and things that dance and grow: Crimson’s Creative Challenge and MMM’s Tale Weaver.
he waits
in silence he waits
his heart captured by her love
faithful till the end
It wasn’t my intention to double up prompts for this challenge but both images conjured similar feelings for me. As if they are two warriors on opposite sides of a battle, patiently waiting for that moment when they’re released from their assigned posts. Hoping, against all hope, that love will be there to welcome them back.
So thanks to Sadje for keeping the What do you see? challenge alive. And thanks to Sue for the always fabulous Write Photo Challenge.
