Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

the dawn of a new day

orange turns to blue

life glimmering in the deep

nascent with the dawn

 

we begin again

the sun shines on a new day

hopeful and alive

Thanks to Susi and David for beautiful SenHai photo prompt. BTW-I LOVE Croatia. It’s one of my favorite places. And thank you to the weekly colour challenge prompt of ORANGE. It was and unexpectedly perfect inspiration. 

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

grace denied (a haiku)

putrid memories

slip into my mind like rot

as grace is denied

red withering rose at daytime

As the kids would say … #mood

Thanks to Fandango’s FOWC and to Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge for providing words that could be used to fit my current state of mind: PUTRID, SLIP, & GRACE.

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

false tears (a tanka)

You provoke! he cries.

An Aberration. he cries.

You make me! he cries

He cries. I apologize.

False tears. We begin again.

Important reminder: COVID-19 has worsened the ongoing horror of domestic violence. If you or a loved one (in the U.S) needs more information or help, they can contact The National Domestic Violence Hotline

As a regular supporter of my local Domestic Violence Support Network (CASA) I have been keeping up with the added domestic violence dangers COVID brings to at-risk families, and today the image provided by Sadje’s WDYS Challenge and the word prompts from the WOTD Challenge (provoke) and Fandango’s FOWC (aberration) came together to inspire this work.

Be kind to each other.
