Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

put ’em up!

Tina Stewart Brakebill

one day I’ll say my piece

and rise above the horror

one day I’ll speak my mind

and live to see tomorrow

Thanks to the dumpster fire we’re currently living through as well as the following for the word prompts (SPEAK, ONE DAY, and HORROR) that inspired this 22-word … I don’t know what it is: a poem, a promise, a threat??

Anyway, visit their sites for better examples.

she said but he said-Flashback Friday

For Fandango’s Flashback Friday, I reached back to the days when we still thought that maybe there might be lasting consequences for the lies.

wilting efforts and fresh lies

laid bare to the world

brown wooden cubes

the agonies of change

Tina Stewart Brakebill

days became decades

forged in fire but still easy

our love endures all

Reena’s 400th Prompt asks us to play a game. Visit the site of An Almanac of Birds: 100 Divinations

Click on any one of the 12 pictures. Read the divination and write whatever comes to mind.

I landed on the card above. We’ve been together for 42 years, so this one really resonated. Visit Reena’s page to read more.

Tanka Tuesday-Each Day

Tina Stewart Brakebill

as gold turns to ash

the barren branches quiver

but the green may wane

as spring can bring a swift frost

and each day may be our last
