Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

 Apologies for the possible misuse of phrases. My entire British vocabulary comes from my addiction to BritBox and Acorn TV. I’m currently binge watching Vera and waiting impatiently for the newest series of Midsomer Murders! Thanks to RDP for giving me the excuse to say “fancy a cuppa.” I just wish I could have squeezed in a “pet” or a “love.” 

 

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

it seems like only yesterday …

a ghost of a life

magic cannot bring it back

drag the broken nest

tell the news to the hot breeze

let that zephyr free your need 

I love the challenge of creating a short piece that uses all (or in this case, most) of the words. I couldn’t squeeze ‘seems’ into the verse, so I cheated with the title. Thanks!

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

alarm bells & devious beauty

alarm bells ring out

the moon looms in the heavens

my nightmare made real 

 

devious beauty

the golden lava cascades

foretelling the end

Oops-I’m back with some doom and gloom. Thanks to Linda and Susi for the inspiration. 

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

fun with words

waiting for my slot

a couplet comes to my mind

but the muse absconds

as the words vex and annoy

slot will not rhyme with Godot

Just a bit of fun with words today. Thanks to FOWC (SLOT) and RDP (ANNOY).
