Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

a new year comes to florida

Shooting guns.

Exploding stars.

Drunken girls scream woo!

Another downtown Saturday night?  

Or the sounds of new year’s mo(u)rn?

Thanks to Fake Flamenco’s New Years Challenge which asked us to “write about what the new year means to you.. We will write 5–7 lines of free verse for either subject.”

And to Linda Hill’s JusJotJan challenge I admit I cheated a little and used “stars” instead of constellation. The rhythm got me 😉

Visit their sites for further info and great writing. And Happy New Year y’all.

New Hope

Tina Stewart Brakebill

Rising from the depths,

the solo flame meets daylight.

In concert, they join

to purge the night’s dark shadows.

Illuminating new hope.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, but I’m determined to make time in 2023! So thanks to MindLoveMiserysMenagerie’s Photo Challenge and Linda Hill’s JusJotJan challenge for getting me back in the game. Please visit their sites for guidelines for the challenges and for some great writing.

Here’s to purging the shadows!

tomorrow calls (a haiku)

as tomorrow calls

no longer under his spell

a heart returns home
