Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

it’s dark at 4pm! (a haiku)

in the dead of night

seduced by a false prophet

time’s veil falls again

This is my ode to the horror of the November “fall back” time change. It messes up my sleep and it really does get dark by 4:30pm. ARGGG! Thanks to Yvette and Tanka Tuesday for the inspiration to vent. 

 

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

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).
