Wanted: All Wizards
With Foolish Incantations
And Sage Spells To Spare
To Gather All Your Powers
And Align The Stars Again
This fun little tanka was brought to you thanks to the inspiration of FOWC (power) and Putting My Feet in the Dirt’s fabulous phrase “foolish incantations” which seemed to go hand-in-hand with Sue’s photo prompt.
Thanks y’all!
when day turns to night
the echo of your heartbeat
stays my fleeing soul
Thanks to Ronovan Writes for the inspiration.
I used synonyms today: echo and heartbeat (for sound) and heartbeat and fleeing (for motion).
ripples stir the calm
as indigo shadows fall
rising, she stands guard
I think the current craziness of my life is reflected in the direction (away from tranquil!) this haiku traveled! But much thanks to Sue for the photo prompt. It felt good to write a bit of something! ❤
drops float in the air
a prism of light and color
held in a moment
before they swim to the earth
bathing the colors of spring
Thanks for the inspiration to Ronovan Write’s Haiku Challenge (float/swim) and Colleen’s Poet’s Choice Tanka Tuesday Challenge
laughter becomes tears
as a fragile truce breaks
reckoning the end
Thanks to the following great sites for the inspiration.
