my heart is willing
as it drums a feisty beat
but woe fills my mind

Scalding to the touch
Infatuation burns hot
Scorching all reason
After five (5!!) really long days of moving, it feels good to take a short break, turn my back on the mess behind me, write a haiku, and read some blogs. So thanks for being here blogosphere! And special thanks to One Daily Prompt and fandango for the excellent inspirations (infatuation / reason).
a promise broken
(like the bouquet of a rose,
as sweet as sugar,
veiling the sting of the thorn)
leaves a bitter bite
Inspiration for today’s tanka comes from Ronovan Writes and Sue’s Photo Prompt.
Sorry to Sue for taking her beautiful photo to a bit of a dark place, but that’s where the combo of sugar and bitter and roses led me!
