The Music Stills

Tina Stewart Brakebill

to fly is a gift

an eruption to behold

till gravity speaks

in its imperious voice

and stills the music of flight

That (this) darn cannon was still on my mind this morning. So my tanka offering is a mash up between yesterday’s story (and word prompts) and today’s. Cheating? Maybe. But I woke up with it half formed in mind and it needed to be finished! Check out yesterday’s Flash Fiction for the companion story. It explains the cannon 😉 https://tinastewartbrakebill.com/2018/12/07/buon-viaggio/

So thanks again to yesterday’s prompts at WOTD (eruption) and One Daily Prompt (gift)

And today’s prompts from One Daily Prompt (imperious) and Linda’s SoCS (musical)

Life

the road tempts onward       

but deep down in the dungeon 

memories unspool

Thanks to Sue for her Photo Prompt. It inspired thoughts of our lives lived through time and what that means as we age. That thought connected in my mind with this great phrase–deep down in the dungeon–from Putting My Feet in the Dirt. And the haiku was born.

Thanks for reading and be sure to visit their sites for more info and some more fabulous work.
