to spark devotion
and banish cacophony
the birds joined their calls
and sang a sweet melody
in unity with the trees
Thanks to Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday Synonyms Only Challenge
Our words for today are “love” and “harmony” and my synonyms are “devotion” and “unity.” ‘Twas fun but hard!

Thanks to Ronovan Writes.
Our words of inspiration this week are charm and harm (for which I substituted damage). Visit the site for more great writing and the rules of the game.
my imprisoned heart
consecrated by your love
once whole, now broken
This broken shard of pottery embellished with (what looks to me like) hearts immediately brought to mind the end of something—love or perhaps even obsession. All things end. Sometimes that’s not a bad thing. And sometimes it is. Take your pick.
Thanks to Teresa for returning to us! And for your new Daily Prompts.
Thanks to Freya for choosing another one of my haiku for her ‘disintegrate’ themed session. It’s an honor. Please visit Pure Haiku to read it as well as many other wonderful choices.
in silence he waits
his heart captured by her love
faithful till the end
It wasn’t my intention to double up prompts for this challenge but both images conjured similar feelings for me.

Hoping, against all hope, that love will be there to welcome them back.
So thanks to Sadje for keeping the What do you see? challenge alive. And thanks to Sue for the always fabulous Write Photo Challenge.
