unreliable
in the waning golden glow
hold fast or let go
surrender expectations
free in ambiguity

ambiguity

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!
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).
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.
