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). 

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

a memory lost

rummage in the nooks

a life built on faulty ground

a memory lost

two buried in a cranny

the mist becomes a refuge

Here I am–being melancholy again! Still thinking about time passing and aging and all that. Anyway, thanks to RDP (CRANNY) and FOWC (BUILT) for the the inspiration
