Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

tomorrow calls (a haiku)

as tomorrow calls

no longer under his spell

a heart returns home

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

love in the time of covid-19

as the world transforms

two minds and two hearts connect

synchronicity

Thanks to Colleen. This week’s challenge required a poem using synonyms only for the word prompts of transition and harmony so I substituted in transforms and synchronicity. Head over to her page for details and some great writing.

Desires: Lost or Found

Enflamed and engorged   

My heart beats a bloody red

Echoing desires

For the delights of lost nights

Or the release of found days

blood-clipart-heart-461802-2978619This Tanka was inspired by two separate challenges. First, I love the phrase “echoing desires,” which was our challenge phrase from Putting My Feet in the Dirt. Secondly, Reena’s challenge to think about perspective got me thinking about the complicated idea of desire. Desire is very much a two- (or more) sided emotion. Individually, desire can lead to ecstasy but it also can leave us searching for an escape. As a collective, one person’s delight can be another person’s nightmare. In some ways, it’s all about perspective. So, those thoughts translated as this piece. Hope you like it (or not) … cause that really is about your perspective 😉
