Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

they said

never fear they said

just follow the path they said

no defeat they said 

straight on to glory they said

only whispers now (they said)

Perhaps it’s my current state of mind, but the photo brought to mind fallen armies and (for you Tolkien fans) barrow-wights so … here we are. Thanks to Sue for the inspiration. And remember all depressing interpretations are my own! 😉

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

footsteps

footsteps in the sand

brief pages of perfection

in the book of life

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

broken heart

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.
