Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

tanka tuesday-Bashō

the light of a star

as our journey’s companion  

may shine like a sun

wall of sound

the echo of time

journey’s end

 Today, our Tanka Tuesday prompt is to write haiku in the style of Bashō. I’m not sure if I succeeded but I enjoyed the challenge. Thanks to Selma for hosting Tanka Tuesday.

 

Haiku & Other Poetry, Random Rants, tutto e niente

falling

I love the Fall. I love jackets and scarves and boots and hot chocolate and blustery days. But I also love the feel of Fall. I love knowing that the changing colors and the bare tree branches aren’t just about the end of summer. Falling leaves are a vital part of the cycle of life. I also love the crackle under our feet when I’m walking hand and hand with my guy. We’ve had a lot of Autumn walks in our many years together and Autumn really does bring renewed love.

But mostly, I love the BOOTS!

memories unwind

of soft scarves and falling leaves

autumn’s love renewed 

thanks for a great inspiration.

Haiku & Other Poetry, Random Rants, tutto e niente

the world is on fire

the world is on fire

but still we say let’s do drinks

and analyze raw data

but it’s an art not a science

so we take no drastic measures

as we blame social media

then we wake to another shocking catastrophe   

the world is on fire

As this might indicate, I’m full of sunshine and light this morning. HA! The muse goes where the muse goes, but I’m still hoping for a better day. 

Thanks for a challenging Sunday Whirl. Check out the word prompts below.
