Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

The Game

trick or treat, she said

a silly game to pass time

but the trick felt real

It’s Tanka Tuesday Synonyms only day! 

And today’s words (which we can’t use) are PLAY and HOBBY.  I tried to adhere to the idea in both words (trick or treat, game, pass time) and in theme (her hobby was to play with people). Thanks Colleen. Not sure the theme fits in the traditional rules but t’was fun!

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

Mother Earth: Nevertheless She Persisted

cracked

Dark seeps through the rift.  

The creator of days persists

Still, the shadows grow.

Not feeling particularly hopeful or cheery tonight, but thanks for the inspiration go to Putting My Feet in the Dirt and Sue’s #WritePhoto Prompt

Check out their sites for other great writing.

And as an FYI, the super gloomy shadow shot is mine.

Dawn

Thanks once again to Freya for including this in her Emergence series. I love this piece!

dawn, adorned in red

penetrates night’s solitude 

to dance a new day

dawn, adorned in red

penetrates night’s solitude

to dance a new day
