Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

if I could be me

If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

if I could be me

but wiser, softer, kinder

quiescent no more

the arrogance of youth shed

my chrysalis cracked open

This was inspired by Jetpack’s question of the day and by Susi’s post from today entitled Insulating. Thanks Susi!

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

static possibility

muttering murmurs    

the doors open on the right

light and sound distort

in the moment time stands still

static possibility

train

I ride the train a lot, so my mind went in many directions but the empty seats strongly evoked the ideas of loss and hope–that liminal moment of unknown. Thanks for the inspiration to Reena’s Xploration Challenge

Flash Fiction, Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

Every day I pass this place …

Every day I pass this place and wonder.

Are you watching over me?

Did your passing change your face?

Does your smile ever reach your eyes?

Did your shattered fragments become whole?

Or are you still laughing as I stumble?
