Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

on the threshold

an open doorway

eyes open as you step up

your heart unguarded

an all or nothing wager

endless possibilities

 I was inspired by two challenges today.

Reena’s xploration challenge invited us to explore the space of Passages, Doorways, Thresholds, and/or Transitions, which dovetailed beautifully with dVerse Poets Banned Book challenge. As an avid ally for the trans/non-binary community, I was drawn to the following quote from Susan Kuklin’s book Beyond Magenta.  

 … my subjects’ willingness to brave bullying and condemnation in order to reveal their individual selves makes it impossible to be nothing less than awestruck.”

Check out both sites for more information on the challenges and for some great writing.
