Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

in the pauses (a tanka)

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

true life revealed (a haiku)

A figment alleged.

But that vision melts away  

as true life bares all.

Sadje’s WDYS Challenge today was to think about birthdays …. This got me considering life in general. Is our life imagined anything like our real life? If not, is that good or bad? And more importantly, is it wise to consider these thoughts during a global pandemic and the ongoing threats to democracy in the US? Probably not!

Anyway, thanks to Sadje for the original inspiration and to the WOTD Challenge (figment) and to Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge for this words (life and view, which I subbed in vision.)

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

memories bloom

Dust Bowl memories

strewn like weeds in her mind’s eye

bloom as fragrant buds

Sometimes the muse strikes hard! Thanks to Sadje’s WDYS Challengefor the beautiful photo. That smile!!!  She immediately struck a very specific chord in my mind and heart and to Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge for (unwittingly?) providing the perfect words (dust / weed).

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

color of change

hope is a rainbow

with its shades a reflection

a path marked for all
