feeling gratitude
for harmonic convergence
and tranquil echoes
In the current world context in which everything SUCKS, I’m trying to practice gratitude. I’m not very good at it! Thanks to Sue and Ronovan for (at least) reminding me to try!
bones of our past
to defy ennui
a message in a bottle
washed ashore today
bearing the bones of our past
as starkly bleached harbingers
This bleak message was written as a response to the image by S. Hermann & F. Richter from Pixabay courtesy of the wonderful Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday Poetry Photo Challenge. Click for details and other contributions.
For some reason, this week’s photo reminded of this old movie! I think it’s more likely she’ll be covered in rising oceans not sand, but still ….
The Peacock
Co-work or co-opt?
Feathers spread like a peacock
Mansplaining his theft
Thanks to Linda and her SoCS challenge.
T’was fun.
Building a Lie
whispering, we cross
a falsely drawn line
twisting tales of old
Thanks for the inspiration to Ronovan Writes. Our challenge: create a haiku using the words twisted and cross. I think of this haiku as my short ode to my favorite worst treaty–the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo.
“no human is illegal”
The Ear Worm
Wow. The line is out the door. I guess dying young will do that. Everyone you know is still alive.
At least it’s not raining.
Finally. Through the door! Damn. It’s like the line for Space Mountain. At least there’s music. Hmmm? What’s that song?
What a Wonderful Life.
That’s perfect. I love this song.
Wait. Are they playing it again?
🎵 I see trees of green
… 🎶
Again?!
🎵
AGAIN!
🎵
I HATE THIS SONG.
🎶 red roses too 🎵
Finally.
“I am sorry for your loss.”
Done!
Sweet Silence.
…
Hummm … 🎶 “what a wonderful world” 🎵
NO!!!

It’s loosely based on an actual visitation experience.
