Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

the day after you left (a tanka)

to defy the dark

I stand on the precipice

heart beating in time

as destiny’s reflection    

brightens the murky waters

Thanks for the inspiration to Sue’s Tanka Tuesday Challenge. This is a bit of a companion piece to this morning’s piece for Sadje’s What Do You See challenge: the night before you left.

So visit it as well if you’d like. 🙂

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

tomorrow calls (a haiku)

as tomorrow calls

no longer under his spell

a heart returns home

Welcome back to Sue’s Write Photo Challenge Thanks for the photo inspiration and word (return) Glad you’re feeling better. Plus thanks to Linda’s JusJoJan Challenge for the perfect word (spell) to finish my mood.

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

in the pauses (a tanka)

Dreams for tomorrow.

Fingertips tracing my face

with child like wonder.

Love growing in the pauses

as our hearts beat together.
