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).
fun with words
Tag: tanka
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
the end of the beginning of the end
walk me to the door
the end of the beginning
light repels the dark
the dark absorbs the twilight
the beginning of the end
Time passes so quickly. I find myself reflecting on beginnings and endings and the lights and darks of the middle. Thanks to FOWC (WALK) and Tanka Tuesday (REPEL/ABSORB) for the inspiration.
crazy modern love
crazy love consumes
undone by your sublime text
heart eclipses mind
the moment permeates all
and the center cannot hold
Thanks to Reena and RDP for their inspiration. The words nutty, sublime text, and eclipse led to me this ode to crazy modern love, with a shout out to William Butler Yeats (and Joan Didion).
unguarded wonder
a moon so intense
I imagine heroin
unguarded wonder
my mind immersed in brightness
trying to find my way home
Thanks for the inspiration to FOWC and Tanka Tuesday.
