golden eyes glimmer
holding sway, their gaze pierces
penetrating me

through her eyes he sees
tomorrow’s promise of joy
hidden till that day

Thanks to Susi at I Write Her for the haiku challenge and the great photo by Elena Mikhaylova
tension escalates
the battle is upon us
as she rises up

I’ve struggled this past week or so. No muse or no hope or no energy … or all of the above. The world has got me down. But I’m determined to rise back up so thanks to Ronovan Writes for the word inspiration (friction and action for which I substituted tension and battle) and Suzi at I Write Her for the fantastic photo prompt courtesy of Dani Olivier

engines went silent
the time to fly was over
mother nature won
I loved the peaceful feel of this photo by David Kovalenko but it also made me think of the orange one and his minion’s hysterical (and completely untrue) claim (let’s call it what it is—a lie) that the Green New Deal would abolish flying. This weird little haiku came out of that head space.
Thanks Susi. Read more and see the details for the haiku challenge at I Write Her.

Like words on the page
before the fire consumes them
I read you deeply

Thanks to Susi at I Write Her for the great photo inspiration / challenge!
