Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

Spring’s Debut

thunder rocks n rolls

to the beat of pounding rain

spring debuts its band

This haiku was inspired by the rainy Florida days that harken the end of our beautiful winter weather. Colleen’s choose your own words Tanka Tuesday Challenge and this beautiful photo (courtesy of  Helene’s What Do You See Challenge) complemented my thoughts perfectly. Thanks!

The Game

trick or treat, she said

a silly game to pass time

but the trick felt real

It’s Tanka Tuesday Synonyms only day! 

And today’s words (which we can’t use) are PLAY and HOBBY.  I tried to adhere to the idea in both words (trick or treat, game, pass time) and in theme (her hobby was to play with people). Thanks Colleen. Not sure the theme fits in the traditional rules but t’was fun!

Mother Earth: Nevertheless She Persisted

cracked

Dark seeps through the rift.  

The creator of days persists

Still, the shadows grow.
