Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

SenHai-Saturday (the moon and my mind)

the moon turns its face

and the sea mourns salty tears

as summer burns hot

 

harmonic breaking

turmoil as a design flaw

my chaotic mind

 Thanks to Susi for the great prompt to create one senryu and one haiku to accompany the image (above). As a remember, a traditional haiku describes nature or a season, while a senryu focuses on human nature and emotions.

the bells of spring

As I say below, this piece was written originally on April 9, 2020 for Sue’s WritePhoto challenge. Today seemed an apt time to revisit it. Thanks to Fandango’s Flashback Friday Challenge

Mother Nature’s Spring Mix

she blends golden daffodils

spring’s perfect timbre

Summer hit Florida full on this week so I was a bit nostalgic for a midwestern spring until I saw that it snowed up there  this week! So here’s hoping for a real spring for my northern fam and friends and a bit more springish temps for me. 😉

Thanks to Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge.  Our words this week are pitch and tone. I substituted timbre for pitch.
