Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

in the pauses (a tanka)

January 4, 2021 Tina Stewart Brakebill

Dreams for tomorrow.

Fingertips tracing my face

with child like wonder.

Love growing in the pauses

as our hearts beat together.

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

defying destiny (a tanka)

January 3, 2021 Tina Stewart Brakebill

seeking to avoid

an unchosen destiny

she slips through the gap

like a whisper in the night

a bounded servant no more

I love cemeteries. A recent visit to the historic Oaklawn Cemetery in Tampa inspired thoughts about escaping an unwanted destiny; whether that fate is death or something else is up to the reader to decide.

But, here’s hoping that 2021 offers some respite from 2020.

Thanks also to Linda’s JusJoJan Challenge word (servant) and to Fandango’s FOWC word (avoid) for giving me added fuel for my vague thoughts.

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

a promise (a haiku)

December 14, 2020 Tina Stewart Brakebill

Yesterday beckons

A promise cloaked in red, still

Autumn days wither
