after the storm
falling from grace, shame
left cold in the dirt, crying
rising, triumphant
Thanks to Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge for the haiku word prompts (fall / cold) and to Tales from the Mind of Kristian Word Prompt for the storm theme.
And if you haven’t then get out there and VOTE FOR CHANGE!
memories bloom
Dust Bowl memories
strewn like weeds in her mind’s eye
bloom as fragrant buds

Sometimes the muse strikes hard! Thanks to Sadje’s WDYS Challengefor the beautiful photo. That smile!!! She immediately struck a very specific chord in my mind and heart and to Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge for (unwittingly?) providing the perfect words (dust / weed).
Spell Much? Nope!
forfeiting the rule
ancient veins are surveilled, and
weird words seize the day
Please enjoy my silly haiku in which I wax poetic about that pesky (and often untrue) “rule” of I before E except after C. Weird gets me EVERY time!
And thanks to Linda for a fun SoCS Challenge. I had to look every one of them up!!
The Sun Rising on Autumn’s Tropical Foliage
Rising from the sea
Autumn’s sun turns the sky red
as the palm trees sleep
Thanks for the inspiration to Frank Tassone’s Fall themed haiku challenge and to Travel Talk’s Sunrise Challenge.
