Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

bones of our past

to defy ennui

a message in a bottle

washed ashore today

bearing the bones of our past

as starkly bleached harbingers

This bleak message was written as a response to the image by S. Hermann & F. Richter from Pixabay courtesy of the wonderful Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday Poetry Photo Challenge. Click for details and other contributions.

For some reason, this week’s photo reminded of this old movie!  I think it’s more likely she’ll be covered in rising oceans not sand, but still ….

“Damn you all to hell…”

Building a Lie

whispering, we cross

a falsely drawn line  

twisting tales of old

Thanks for the inspiration to Ronovan Writes. Our challenge: create a haiku using the words twisted and cross. I think of this haiku as my short ode to my favorite worst treaty–the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo.

“no human is illegal”

Wow. The line is out the door. I guess dying young will do that. Everyone you know is still alive.  

At least it’s not raining.  

Finally. Through the door! Damn. It’s like the line for Space Mountain. At least there’s music. Hmmm? What’s that song?  

What a Wonderful Life.  

That’s perfect. I love this song.  

Wait. Are they playing it again?

🎵 I see trees of green

… 🎶

Again?!

🎵

AGAIN!

🎵 

I HATE THIS SONG.

🎶 red roses too 🎵 

Finally.  

“I am sorry for your loss.”

Done!

Sweet Silence.    

Hummm🎶 “what a wonderful world” 🎵 

NO!!!
