the promise
a funhouse mirror
real life
a moment of calm
nature in blurred reflection
ambiguity
I’ve been MIA for a bit, so thanks to Susi for luring me back with birds!
birds of a feather (senhai saturday 33)

hope in the face of despair (Sunday Whirl)
vibrating, I walk
my heart tinged by tragedy
greed cracks earth’s spirit
but your presence calms despair
strings of resistance lift all
It’s Sunday Whirl time! Let’s keep HOPE alive!
SenHai Saturday 25
a sigh at sunset
the day’s challenge a standoff
our future unknown
the winter sun glows
fire and ice caught in the gleam
and the day lingers
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!
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.
