a moon so intense
I imagine heroin
unguarded wonder
my mind immersed in brightness
trying to find my way home
Thanks for the inspiration to FOWC and Tanka Tuesday.
unguarded wonder
Tag: haiku
buried fury
buried deep inside
embers turn to ash and bone
waiting for a spark
rekindled love fans the flames
the candle burns with fury
Today’s FOWC (CANDLE) and the WDYS photo prompt brought to mind fury and love and buried secrets… thus my bit of verse. Thanks to both for the inspiration.
and all that jazz: the Sunday Whirl
draped in velvet fog
filmy thoughts and fingertips
a touch forgotten
reveal that moment
starlight strips back the curtain
the crowd roars your name
I love to try and create meaning with minimal words. Did I? Who knows?!
Thanks for the great inspiration.
begin again
at the beginning
the day dawns on the big game
my eye on the prize
seasons come and go
without beginning or end
from a bird’s eye view
Thanks to SoCS and SenHai Saturday for the inspiration!
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.
