falling for Peter
Tinker Bell took a tumble
and her light went out
This fun little haiku (or this statement on the dangers of falling for an immature emotionally stunted man-child) was inspired by Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge (tumble / tinker).
the battle goes on
but we’ve already lost
as bullets rain down
This month marks the the anniversary of the Kent State and Jackson State killings. This week, another shooter shot up another campus and the week before that another shooter shot up … and so on and so on…. Plus, I live in Florida where the @#*#@ legislature passed some truly awful things this week including arming teachers and stripping away voting rights with what is essentially a poll tax! I’m in a hopeless kind of mood and Linda’s SoCS prompt to write about something that “falls from the sky” and Fandango’s FOWC prompt “battle” inspired this sad little haiku.
searching the night sky
one pair better than just one
alone together
Inspiration for this haiku challenge comes from this great illustration: “At the Window” – Juliana Kolesova provided by Susi at I Write Her.
Words wrung from the depths
Expeditious writing
But late yet again
Thanks to Linda’s SoCS challenge to use “xp” It brought me to the lovely and intimidating word (which rarely applies to my writing): expeditious.
Yearning for closure
To repair my broken heart
But the hole remains
Both the lovely photo and the word prompt (yearning) inspired a sense of longing in me so thanks to Sue’s Write Photo Challenge and Tales from the Mind of Kristian for giving me a chance to explore that feeling.
