Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

broken heart

my imprisoned heart

consecrated by your love    

once whole, now broken

This broken shard of pottery embellished with (what looks to me like) hearts immediately brought to mind the end of something—love or perhaps even obsession. All things end. Sometimes that’s not a bad thing. And sometimes it is. Take your pick.

Thanks to Teresa for returning to us! And for your new Daily Prompts.

 

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

Then Chaos

I originally wrote this way back in June of 2018 but it still (sadly) fits my mood AND although it may be bending the rules a bit to use an old piece, it (more happily) perfectly fits Linda’s final JusJoJan prompt “chaos”.

Thanks Linda. Sorry I wasn’t more present in January but … well you know. CHAOS.

Fresh Start Begins, Then

Time, In Cahoots with Chaos

Spins Us to the End

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

like smoke

memories held tight

‘til like a viper they rise

unfurling like smoke

I’ve been largely AWOL this past month for various reasons but I’m trying to reengage, so thanks to the following for inspiring me to do a bit-o-thinking and writing.

Shout out to my always favorite haiku challenge at Ronovan Writes and to the MLMM photo challenge. The photo gave me mood and Ronovan gave me words. (I substituted viper for asp and rise for jump, but you get the idea.)
