Writer. Feminist. Historian. Person.
Scalding to the touch
Infatuation burns hot
Scorching all reason
After five (5!!) really long days of moving, it feels good to take a short break, turn my back on the mess behind me, write a haiku, and read some blogs. So thanks for being here blogosphere! And special thanks to One Daily Prompt and fandango for the excellent inspirations (infatuation / reason).
wisdom blossoming
from an open heart and mind
carries love not hate
Thanks to Sue’s Photo Prompt for today’s inspiration. Visit her site for great writing and the #writephoto rules.
to be chaste no more
underneath the blushing moon
as dark brings him nigh
Thanks for the inspiration Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge
the flame flickers
seducing the dark corners
temptation with fire
Thanks to Heeding Haiku with Chèvrefeuille Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie for the candle inspiration.

Dearest John.
It finally arrived. I was scared that it wouldn’t get here in time for your birthday but it came on the train yesterday. Daddy will be angry but there’s nothing he can do about it now. When I saw our names together I fell to my knees. I love you so much. We talked so much about leaving this place. Being together. Going someplace where daddy couldn’t stop us. Then you left me. Alone. But daddy can’t stop us now. In death, we can be connected forever.
Till tomorrow my love.
Always Your Cora

If you haven’t done so, check them out. Twas fun! Especially for this historian who loves to write about long-dead women!
