dust fills my mind’s eye
conjuring a drab vista
as doubt smothers hope
tears transform the dust
a rainbow lifts the drab sky
and hope muddles doubt

I’m all about the ying/yang again today.
Our daily Three Things Challenge words are the following:
DUST
DOUBT
DRAB
For more details click below:
light dances at dawn
sound breaks free from the darkness
a new day’s promise
nature’s elegy
as crags are born from the sea
time erases all

I decided to embrace the ying / yang of our existence in this duo. It’s something I’m working on it life as well!
properly mad
the top spins a tall tale
of a glittering lad
too great to fail
but great can be bad
and fake glitter corrodes
so properly mad
the foundation implodes
properly mad
the broken top tries to spin
but it wobbles and falls (SAD)
and finally We the People win

Thanks to FOWC for this chance to vent some wishful thinking in awkward verse.
To all participating in NO KINGS tomorrow, thank you and take care!
Life has been demanding my attention as of late, so I am very tardy with my thanks, but I was honored to once again have my work chosen by Pure Haiku. Please visit Pure Haiku to read my my submission from February 21 and the many other fantastic interpretations for the Encircling theme.
